Saw a new Grand Cherokee in the cement looking gray color.
Dang that think looked much bigger at the light next to me than it did when I seen it at the dealer.
Bigger in the "real world", not sure how that's possible but it has massive presence.
To slow on getting my phone out to get a pic but other than that I haven't seen any cool stuff to report.

I think you are correct!
Had to be the Grand Wagoneer.
All I could think was dang that's a huge SUV!
It looked bigger than an Escalade to me.

Yeah it was a Wagoneer. It is bigger than an Escalade lol.
Got my favorite space at the office today!

The W222 looks so nice!
One of the best cars ever IMO, legendary platform and really stands out.
I'm however dealing with a very not so nice Ford/Lincoln, that free one I picked up with a dead engine. The lift points are extremely weak and scary so this will be fun to do with constant fear of being killed lol!
Bacon bits anyone?
Other side is holding at least......
I am very much not happy with this, I can't use the alternate lift locations since they are too close to the center and I'm removing the front subframe/engine/trans and it would be unsafe to lift from there. So crumby crunch zone is my fate.

Hopefully not!
Falling anything from the lift is bad and a car is peak bad day for sure, I would like to continue my streak of no such incidents. Engine is out.....it is beyond saving though, it was so badly seized that I had to pull the engine out with the converter still attached. I will be prepping the replacement over the next few days, I hope to get the car fully sorted and back on the road in about two weeks from now.
It is very disturbing how much similarity there is between this car and the Jag I also owned for a while. It's the same to the point it's disconcerting that they just kept on using SO MUCH from their 90s platform......moronic subframe design included.

I have a die hard wealthy 7 series freak friend, he's about to sell it because it's about to hit.....70k miles. Which is pathetic.
That said, we can definitely say a 7 series is a tank based on this video. Minor injuries only.

wow what a CRAZY video! that cop got so close to being seriously injured or killed, thankfully looks like nothing happened
one of mmarshall's '3-series jocks' strikes again
it actually looks like he saw the cop car with lights on in the opposing lane, then either just lifted off the gas or panic braked, shifting the weight forward and making the back step out

What a dumbass.....at least that showcased how safe flagships are even in unreasonable situations.
