Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Yeah, my jamming room is in a separate building, I only go out there to jam when I have company

That's kinda similar and pretty telling.

I'd like to think that I'll use the studio, but it may just end up something I only use when I have people over who want to record.

Yeah, it is so much more convenient to just grab a guitar in the building you are in and play that than it is to go out to the other building

That's why I'd kinda want the house connected to the studio in some manner - like a hidden cut and cover tunnel.

Though that'd make the price soar by a whole lot. Tunnels ain't cheap.

This Jeep has maybe 140 HP - out of a fucking 5.7L engine... Yeah... I don't know how you can have that little HP out of an engine that size, but they managed.

It doesn't help. It doesn't help even a little. I still get 12 MPG with it. Yeah, 12 MPG out of a 5.7L that gets a total of 140 HP...

Some articles cite 190 HP, but it doesn't feel like it. Some articles say I can get 17 to 21 MPG, but that's just bullshit.

It does have 280 lb ft of torque, so I'm told. In its day, that wasn't too bad.

It's a steady beast that's easy to drive - but there's not a whole lot of 'fun' in it. It handles like an old lady in her slippers. It sucks down gasoline faster than many of my exotics that have hundreds of more horsepower.

The heat works pretty good for such a large cabin. Visibility is good all around, except to the rear of course. Even then, it's fine - but be aware of what's behind you before you back up.

The seats are comfortable - not snug and firm. It's kinda like driving a very large couch - but the seats aren't as comfortable as many others - they're just more comfortable than some of them.

It does get a lot of looks. People remember when the Grand Wagoneer roamed the earth like dinosaurs. People see it as far more approachable than if I'm in something like a Ferrari. All sorts of people honk and wave and I someone stops to talk to me at pretty much every stop.

It's no longer the farm vehicle at this point, and hadn't been for a while. It's a highway cruiser that's probably not really all that good in the snow when compared to modern vehicles. However, I've got pretty rugged BF Goodrich M/T tires under it, so I'm confident that slow and steady will win the race - or at least reliably get me where I'm going.

It's not in terrible condition - it's in 'survivor' condition. It hasn't been restored. It has a new suspension and someone put shitty tires under it that I had to replace. Those were just given to the guys at the tire shop. They'll sell 'em to someone that needs cheap new tires. I don't mind. They're a good shop and do things like that - and they'll be honest that they're not new. They are damned close to new, but not quite. So, they'll make a few bucks there.

Anyhow...

Oh, the radio sucks. It's not stock - which you know I generally prefer. They put some cheap CD player FM radio in there and 'upgraded' the speakers. It sounds like shit. It's probably better than stock, but it still sounds like shit. (I have some REALLY FUCKING GOOD radios in some of my cars.)

So, there you have it.

You have my Jeep Grand Wagoneer Driving Review.
