I have always been a big Jeep fan but my commute didnt really fit into practical use.
Things change and I finally got my unicorn!

Classic choice (color, setup), nice!

Agreed. Always preferred the look for the 2 doors and tank green was my top choice. Somehow this unicorn ended up about 2 hours away with low mileage, one owner, and pristine condition.

It was a sign to take the jump.

If we didn't have my convertible, we'd probably have a Jeep, fun vehicles, around here on the east coast of Florida, they're _everywhere_.

Being a native Floridian I do miss that part of the world and would really enjoy a Jeep in that atmosphere.

So this is my fun vehicle to build on and enjoy out and about.

D.T.,

I looked for some more photos - I'll have to take some. Here's the only other one I found from the corner of the back window:
OneLessPrius.JPG


Exactly right, the engine is a bored & stroked 460 with Holley Multiport EFI, a Crane hydraulic roller cam, aluminum heads etc etc, backed with a C6 automatic connected to a 2.75:1 8.8" IRS from a 2004 Mustang Cobra, Koni shocks and Cobra brakes all around. It went 133mph at Daytona (my limit - it was willing to go faster) and has about 15K miles of street use. It has its original paint and seats. It still goes to Lowes...

Just crossed 1,000 miles driving this - bought it earlier in the year but has been sat doing nothing during the vast majority of lockdown in the UK!

Dang, that thing must be a total sleeper.

Trevor,

When it is parked it can be deceiving. It usually takes someone who's observant and knowledgeable to decipher it. When the engine is running, even just at idle, it's difficult not to know something's been upgraded. I put as much muffler under it as would fit, but space was not available for a totally silent exhaust system.

This will be the new daily driver. The picture is a 2020 model but I’m ordering a 2021. Premium Plus (no longer doing Prestige) in Turbo Blue. We’re adding the technology package, parking assist package, and black optics package. The black optics isn’t available in the US for 2020 models, that’s why I’m ordering a 2021.

yeah with family and stroller in the trunk, larger will be better for us! hopefully. otherwise sq5 :D
What I really want is an RS3 or RSQ3 but the RS3 doesn't have enough room and the RSQ3 doesn't exist in the US. I pretty much guarantee they release it the year after I get my Q3. Same thing happened with the RS3 and my Golf R. lol.
