Default remember me?

You may not remember me, but I was on here a while ago getting information about my jeep purchase. This is the thread...
https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...ghlight=defkon

Well, I did end up getting the Hummer due to the deal they gave me. BUT, that only lasted about three weeks...I then sold it because I hated it! So I was without a ride and on a desperate search. I also wanted to buy with a payment around $400. Well I looked in my area (tampa, FL) and most of the jeep dealers here were terrible (this is an understatement). So I started to look further out and I found a acura dealer that had an 2008 Wrangler Unlimited X with only 2K miles. It was silver, auto trans, alloy wheels and a few other things I can't think of at the moment. They wanted a little over 23K for it. WELL...I was able to get the price down to 20K which on an 08 seemed good. So now I am a proud owner of a Wrangler Unlimited X!! Here is the only pics I have at the moment, more will come later today.

Sweet! Well I'm glad you saw the light. It's too bad you had to make a terrible mistake to get there. Hopefully, dumping the Hummer didn't kill you too much.

It definatly was a bad mistake to get the hummer, live and learn. I didn't get beat up too much on it though, and the way I see it is that I got such a good deal on the jeep that I am even now...more or less.

Here are a few more updated pics in the driveway.

Isn't it a great feeling driving it around, getting waves, the wind blowing through your hair... WAY better then any Hummer. Just wait to see how many strangers you're gonna be chatting with about your new ride.

Funny you should say that. When I was driving the Hummer, people would give me some nasty and funny looks. I have only been driving the the jeep for a week and spoken to several people at traffic lights with all sorts of questions.
