lol Fergy, yes I'm clearly crying about it. That's why I worded the sig the way I did, to show that it doesn't bother me, but it is annoying to others due to the thread hijacks like you did here.

And Phire, they got into it with me, I just stood my ground is all heh

As for what it's all about, the sig explains it. In all the threads they've (Fergy mostly exluded but this thread shows why he's included) trolled around in, they've said in pretty much every one that I'm an idiot or a moron who doesn't know what I'm talkin about. And after about 3 weeks I made the sig and waited till a few more 'attacks' happened before I put it in my sig


AC I still think you could've gotten at least another $1K for it. A Cherokee will be good, as long as it's the 6cyl. It'll get better gas mileage. It's too bad that Vortec I6 is so new and all the vehicles are so pricey, they have lots of power. Rated 275hp 275tq, and even those I5 in the Colorados are powerful lil guys!

The I5 has more HP but less towing capacity than the 4.3 vortech V6 it replaced .

He could still tow it with the Jeep. Mike just finds deals bro!

And IMO, Bashing of other members on this forum just isn't cool. Everybody owns an f-body and for that should be respected. Just think, would you rather be talking to Honda or Mitsubishi DSM guys?

While he CAN tow his WS6 with a Jeep, I would NOT want to, unless it was using a tow dolly (not offense AC ).

The jeep is rated at 5000 has trailer brake and class 3 hitch. I will mostly tow snowmobiles wich is nothing for the Jeep to pull. I also bet the car and trailer would be just under Max load. I only plan to pull the car to the shootout and back. All the local tracks are close enough to drive to. This thing will work perfect for my needs.
