Anybody taking there Jeeps to Carlisle, Pa. on June 10-12, 2015? Last years Obstacle Course could have been navigated blind folded with a good copilot. It's seems so funny to see Jeeps under the Chrysler Badge.
And with old jeeps like Willy's, AMC etc. you just feel like the Orphan child, hard to fit in the family of Chrysler built Jeeps. I do see new Jeeps I like.

I'm heading up on Friday. Won't be driving my Jeep, but ... it will be a Chrysler product

NICE, Jack, Infield parking or off grounds?
I'd post a photo of my other toy but it's not as easy as on other sites. If I remember correctly, you need to have the photo in a photo bucket first then import it to this site. I like to upload attachments as I do in other sites, from a card or one of my files, if it is 1 to 4 photos under 200kb each. My free photo bucket is 91% full, mostly of Pa. Jeeps stuff.

That's a nice Challenger. Sure to attract the attention of many females! ;D

Thanks.
Not sure where I'll be parking, it's only the second time I've been to the fairgrounds and it was probably 12 to15 years ago the last time. This Challenger is not new, but it's new to me (in more ways then one, my DD's have been SUVs since the late eighties). We still have 3 Jeeps. Its a 2013 SXT Plus, V6, Auto, Sunroof 8) Unfortunately, it's out of Maryland, so it has 2 holes in the front bumper so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that tag holder. whether I'll end up putting a POW-MIA, or some other kind of military, tag in the front or see if I can get the bumper fixed up. I will say that 6 will get up n GO! and ... it gets around 30+ mpg (when I'm NOT hanging a foot in it ;D). One cool thing I found, as I was scrolling through the Preferences, is a 0 to 60 feature!!! So far ... my best is a 7.40. Not sure where that stands as times go and if I can keep the wheel spin to a minimum I think I can do better. One plus is that it has a LSD so both tires are pulling. Of course, its a "6", so it doesn't have much torque, but once it gets up to 4K+ rpm's it really starts pulling. Unfortunately it sounds like a "small" Honda motorcycle. Oh Well ... can't have everything ... :)

My Ford Maverick had a straight 6 and that thing really moved out!

Yeah, a 6 can move. This has DOHC's and 24 Valves :o Glad I don't have to work on 'em.

(Tattoo) Jack, here's where I park off the grounds.
On Carlisle Springs Road, house with big yard, give $ to young man or older lady, 1/2 block south of K street and then walk short distance in to gate #3. I've been going there the past three years and parking. Here's my fast toy.
