  1. I have had two jeeps, one 1999 Grand Cherokee limited and one 1996 cherokee. My brother has a 2005 grand cherokee and my dad a 2004 grand. Personally I like them, but they have their share of problems. Mostly are easy fixes, shocks going out, flinicky electrical that needs fuses. Dealers suck but the same can be said with most dealers. If you take care of it should be fine, but go easy on the tranny. On both my jeeps that I have owned they both went out.

  2. Just wanted to give a little praise to Jason (Turbocoop). Was a pleasure to do busisness with. He was true and honest with his word and the item arrived here within a couple of days. Perfectly shipped with some free shop towels!

     

    I give him the Drako stamp of Approval :chevy:

  3. Meh only real one I head is pendejo but in (my) spanish that isnt really bad.

    Just means pubic hair I heard in meixco it means a bunch of other crap.

     

    SPANISH not mexican :idiot:

    Um, Im gonna have to correct you on that. But what I meant is the slang used. Because spanish spans countries you get differences in meanings. Such as Bicho, which means bug (literally). However in puerto rico its an harsh insult. Some words are all together not used in the same connotation. Although people who speak spanish can all understand each other there are differences that can be noted.

    I guess a easy example is when you get British and Americans talking and they use different pronounciations and altogether new words. Imagine that but worse since it is multiple countries with thier own slang etc.

    Hope I cleared it up

  4. I usually go for things out of the norm. For her birthday I got her an antique camera from the 20's wasnt expensive at all but it was unique.

    This time around a jade bracelet from my last trip. Most of the time I just round up all of her likes and move on from there, name some of the things she likes. I dated a girl that only wore prada, louie V etc. But she was in love with Marilyn Monroe, and her look so I got her couple of things of her just to set myself out of the pack.

  5. i dont recomend doing what was stated above. what that service manager told you is correct. first off, think about this- your gas tank is entirely on the driver side, and holds 26.7 gallons of fuel. you, the driver, are also always sitting on the driver side. there is usually about a 1/2 difference, its normal. dont be mad at him, there really is nothing wrong with your truck. he sounded from what you said like he handled it well. some dealers wont even measure, they wont even take the time to tell you what GM says about ride hieght differences

    :withstupid:

    Its true..not too many dealerships would have done that. Should they? Hell yes.

  6. I've never done it and I think those that do are idiots but I still feel the U.S. should legalize it, tax it, and sell it. This way it could be somewhat regulated much like alcohol and the government could make some money from it. Whether it is legal or not, idiots will still find a way to abuse it. Amsterdam seems to be doing fine with it legal so I say go for it.

    Ive been to amsterdam, the majority of people high there are Americans who are drunk and walking into walls. :crackup:

    Nice place...people are nice

  7. looks good but I must ask, didnt you make a thread about some issues going on and that your strapped for cash? Wheels at this time dont sound like a good idea from what I read.

    I was gonna mention that.

    I know it sucks and you want to have something make you feel better but i would sell the wheels and a couple of other mods to stay afloat. Too many people in this country have debt.

  8. :pop:

    Never touched...never wanted to. I rarely drink and smoke tobacco once every few months. However I did see a lot of my friends waste a lot of time smoking pot. Some of them keep doing it, most of them continue on and grow out of the wasting time bit and they have pretty good lives. I wouldnt say it a destroyer of life but if its legal it would probably be detrimental to a lot of people who are easily presuaded into things.

    i.e. people who drink to get ****ed up, people who smoke to talk to people, etc.

    Everything in excess destroys.

    The argument that alcohol is worse then pot and we should get rid of it (if pot is already illegal) makes as much sense as getting rid of high fat foods since most people cant control their own weight.

    Im not saying that argument is wrong or right I am just setting up an appropriate mirror.

    That being said...why should we bring in another substance that can be abused like alcohol, food, and tobacco?

    Obviously people who are smoking pot dont have that much of a problem getting it since it has persisted. And because it has been legally enforced you do not get as many incidents as DUI's.

    I guess you guys get my point without me making this an essay.

  9. did you use anything special to wipe it down before you started to apply the polish?

     

    i bought mothers chrome polish and mothers ball last week..

    When its really bad you have to work it in. However the polish is pretty good. Its called billet and is REALLY expensive. a lot goes along way however since its so dirty then you may have to use a lot.

    I have not used the ball it may make things easier.
