Default Bye guys! new beginnings

Hey all, just letting you know I sold my Vette and got a Jeep.

Yea now I know you're thinking who is this guy? and I don't blame you..I was more of a lurker than poster...but with that said I loved my Vette but had to trade it in.

I just accepted a job offer in Denver so traded my Vette in for a Jeep made by my family.

What a coinkydink...I just traded my Jeep for a Vette in November!

If I were going to Denver though, I'd probably have kept it!

Good luck!

Little late for this posting check. Did you check the score? Tebow is packing his bags for some religious retreat.

Yes I'm a Steeler fan.

Looks like the new arctic edition. I like them. I have an older Jeep Liberty and if I was going to upgrade, I'd get the arctic edition wrangler, very similar to what you have there. Nice choice! I'm way too frugal (when it comes to things other than the vette), so I'll be driving the Liberty until it goes to Jeep heaven.
