    Older Chrysler products were known for their distinctive starter noise. This is sort of the modern equivalent..:)

    Kind of a click-click-click

    I was 35 when I joined..

    Not sure if its something in the drivetrain or the wheel bearings or something, I've heard it (or something similar) in my GC with the windows down when coasting or stopping.

    Yeah, I see a lot of that on Jeep Forum and the WK2 FB page I frequent..though mostly w/ the WK2s it's a lot of Millenials asking how to black out their chrome, and modifying their vehicles.. The WK2 GC having been around since '11 has some well known issues, but mostly they seem to be electronic glitches w/ UConnect and the touch screen controls. I've had a couple minor issues w/ mine in the 6 months I've had it, with the outside door lock sensors and the alarm system and inside locks. And the Bluetooth and my iPhone pairing is inconsistent. But I've been happy overall so far..put 6000 miles on it so far.

    We all get old, unfortunately.

    Bummer...1st year gremlins, maybe? Have you checked the Jeep forums for similar experiences?

    I'll be 50 in less than 3 years...I've been feeling my age the last few months, after decades living without stairs, having a split level is giving my knees and ankles a work out, along w/ the cross country move experience. Working from home has it's advantages and disadvantages.. trying to take more walks and walk the dogs to get some exercise, along w/ weekly deep tissue massages, chiro visits, etc.

    Quote of Trump in Japan: "Try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask? That's not rude. Is that rude? I don't think so," Trump told executives from local automakers during a trip to Japan. I guess he in unaware of the Japanese plants in the US built over the last 35 years...

    So the newness has worn off the Compass, and you are ready to move on to the next fling?

    I wonder if the future is going to be a mix of Blade Runner (robots built to do the crappy work, no flying cars though), The Terminator (computers taking over and killing humans), and post-apocalyptic stuff like The Road....but seriously, being in software, I see how buggy and insecure software systems are on a daily basis, I certainly would't trust them to control the complete driving of cars, heavy trucks, etc any time soon... I recently read After On, a fun read about Silicon Valley startup companies, social networking, AI and terrorism...

    fascinating..a.thread resurrected after almost 12 years...

    Yeah, my Jeep is metallic black..I'd rather have had dark red, dark blue, or brown, but since I was shopping 3yr old CPO models, color choice wasn't a top criteria...main criteria for me was a well-equipped GC with under 30k miles, 4x4, sunroof, light interior color. I do like black, though, and love the black and tan interior. If I were buying a new one, I'd really want a brown one.
  14. Robert Hall
    Love that color. Haven't seen one in person yet, only pics. So retro.

    Saw Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie in concert last night. Fun show. Small venue, great sound, great music--mix of Fleetwood Mac, solo and their new material. Both sounded great, backing band was tight. LB is a great guitarist and songwriter, listened to a lot of FM and LB today. Love the guitar solo on this track.

    That yellow coupe concept pic looks like one of the coupe concepts from Chevy from about 5 years ago... there were two, and they had random alphanumeric names...
  17. Robert Hall
    An electric coupe would be cool, but sadly it seems the 2dr coupe market is dead.
  18. Robert Hall
    Problem is they are programmed by humans and always have faults..
  19. Robert Hall
    Yes..the Amish need to just STFU and stay in 1899 w/ their horses and buggies rather than commenting on modern companies.

    Nothing but a TexAss snake oil salesman...peddling flashy crap that goes fast but has no significance.
  21. Robert Hall
    I can't imagine M-B is concerned about vaporware from a financially shaky Texas tuner...

    That was it. I recall something about it being driven through LA area canyons. I found a reference to it in passing in an article about the famous Mrs Orcutt's driveway.. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/mrs-orcutts-driveway " A Cadillac Seville, hiding a tube-frame stock-car chassis and a twin-turbo Chevy 454 V-8, lost a chrome bumper at over 100." Googling turned up this post on a forum, scroll down a bit and there are a couple pics of the car, incl. the aircraft landing light...what a beast. '1FASTMF' as it had on it's license plate.. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/323773-what-happened-mulholland-king-hill-rsr-148.html Found a color pic on another site.. Check out the flares and Hellas...
  23. Robert Hall
    Yes, would be a great sleeper. IIRC the 1st gen Seville had an Olds 350. Speaking of modded Sevilles, I recall reading an article in Car & Driver about one that someone modded, had a turbo BBC or something similar, race car suspension, roll cage, huge fender flares...the article must have been 30-35 years ago.
  24. Robert Hall
    It's mostly in regards to the styling. Not the hardware. I like the looks of the 3000GT, reminds me of the 4th gen Firebird, but nicer.
  25. Robert Hall
    Yes in English. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine Engine: a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion. synonyms: motor, machine, mechanism; jet, turbojet, turboprop, turbofan, turbine, generator "a power-generating engine"
