Hello All
« on: August 23, 2012, 09:04:54 am »
Hi everyone,
This is the 1st forum I have ever joined, I don't even use Facebook or Twitter. So I would like to thank everyone ahead of time for their patience :)
Introductions are tough - What to say???
My name is Angi and
I have had my JK since last November. It is the 1st 4wd that I have ever owned, and I am old enough to have had quite a few vehicles.
I love my Jeep...

Hi, Angi!

Nice to meet you!  Glad to hear that you've entered the 4wd world at long last!   Have you taken it offroad yet?

Good to meet you all!

Thank you for the "welcome", and to answer your question Angie ...
No off road yet, I am a pansy  8)
It was taken back to Cold Springs & Hawk Watch at Ft. Indiantown Gap when I first bought it, but that really doesn't count because there is a road there. It may be a nasty, full of holes, dirt/stone road, but it is still a road.

So far, I am content with driving it. I average 53 miles p/day, so it may not get a "workout" like it was meant to, but it does get driven.

I love the - Just Empty Every Pocket - awesome

Seriously, I have driven a Saab Sonnett, VW Bug, Fiat Wagon, Buick Regal, Toyota Celica, Camry Hybrid and a Jetta TDI, and have always been afraid to drive something like the Jeep, (my son calls me Cap'n Leadfoot) in fear that I would end up doing a "turtle" in a field... but I have surprised myself and adjusted rather well - no fear of speeding tickets now . lol. Anyway, I saw it on the lot, took it for a test drive, the salesman left me have it for 2 days and needless to say.. the TDI was history.

Well, there's no rush in doing something that you're not ready for.  You'll know when the time is right.
Cap'n Leadfoot...hehe.  Sounds like me in my Camaro!

Well "Cap'n Leadfoot".... if you enjoy the thrill of driving fast you might also enjoy the thrill of offroading. It's a different kind of fun, but still a rush. Don't be a "pansy" - try it you might like it!  ;D And might I add that the members of this club are eager and willing to break in newbies to the sport we love!
