13) 5/10/07 - Delivery Day! It is officially mine!! Quick turn around time! 46 days from when I walked into the dealer, to when it shows up on the lot! I am busting bugs! :Racing:

I am really loving this thing! I now have eveything adjusted how I want, my ipod works great, it is fun to drive, and it looks sooooo good! My dealer was great! I got a great price! The order time was fast! The Boston Acoustics sound system is awesome!

The only issue I had is with the the official Mopar/Jeep trailer hitch, and the need to cut out a football shape semi-circle out of the rear bumper cover, but I will easily solve that by buying a different brand and have the dealer put that on. Easy solution.

My sales guy was the best! John at Wilson Motors Ford/Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep in Corvallis, Oregon is the man! He knew everything there is to know about it the Patriot, gave me a great price with no hassle, and kept me updated with any change in the status, which made it fun! Thanks John!

Here are some pictures that I have so far. Enjoy! :D

That looks really sharp! I will be interested to hear what sort of MPG you get out of it.

I think I saw a speck of dirt on the front fender.:smiley_thumbs_up:
Very nice, Black Sport on a cloudy day. What would be great to see a CVT2 and a not trail rated next to each other to highlight the height difference.

yeah so i ordered mine on 3/21.... and noooooo sign of it... GRRRRRR
but congrats on getting yours!!!

i think its cause i ordered the trail rated one

Nice! How do you like it so far? Keeping it clean or dirty? ;)
I'll have to post pics of mine soon.
That was a close race. hehe. :Racing:

I am loving this so far! I have about 115 miles in 5 days I have had it. It drives great, and the sound system is perfect for me! I will have to say the ipod holder is kind of dumb. Good idea, but where it is located just doesn't work for me. It even has a sticker saying not to use it while driving because you could get injured or killed! Really? Hmmmm. Otherwise, I LOVE MY PATRIOT!!!

Welcome to the boards and sweet Patriot.
