Thank you Bill. Writing comes natural. I have written two substantial books in my field, have written a series of action adventure novels (they remain unpublished 3 out of a series of 6) and have been working on a military aviation fiction novel (series of three) recently, write poetry and have some of it published. I have another 20 books in my head pertaining to my field, am writing a curriculum for my field (proper timing for success based on an ancient science I inherited a while back) and really would like to publish my military fiction in the next year.

I think our brutal Canadian roads made the review of the Jeep appear unkind but it was fair and just.The extreme cold in the winters beat them up [roads] something fierce and make for punishing driving in most vehicles especially firmly sprung high performance types.

On the other hand, Arizona/Nevada-graphical Jeeps will prove to be another beast altogether. Smooth roads will make this vehicle very appealing. A problem I felt was the high center of gravity. Lower the damn thing another inch or two and you'd be right on the money.

And yes, the comment about the power hitting hard or something to this effect was accurate. The power is NOW. Instant. No lag or hesitation and this is what really impressed me.

Now, if this engine has another 75 hp and a touch more torque - 500hp/450tq AND had MB 7 speed gearbox... GOOD LORD!

Bill, have you test driven one?
