I just got home from New Smyrna Beach... guess what's parked outside?

:pepper:MY VERY OWN JEEP:pepper:

That's right, friends, it finally happened...

I am the proud owner of a gorgeous Inferno Red Patriot!!!

It's a 2008 Sport with 19k miles in pristine condition; I got it for a killer price and couldn't be happier (well... that's not entirely true... I'm going from years of ZERO car payment to a new monthly expense, but it's soooooo worth it) :D

Now, let me just beat you wiseguys to the punch here...

:worthless:

But whaddya expect? It's 930 at night! I'll post pix tomorrow, promise :p

In the meantime... can I get a WOO HOO?!

And, ah, what the hell, let's throw in another giddy red pepper, eh?

:pepper:

Wow, Glad to hear you FINALLY got a Patriot! I thought you had disappeared or something!



Not as cool as Jeep Green!:D

I think the electrical outlet is my fave... simply because there is a friggin electrical outlet in my Jeep... HA!

I am also going to love folding those seats flat and filling up the Pat with goodies from the garden center... and my pups of course :D
I'm a big fan of the electrical outlet as well. Really comes in handy with the iPod!

Does your Pat have the folding front seat? If so, you'll really be able to pack it in there!

Enjoy your new Patriot!

OK...so now to update your sig line to include your new ride. :)

And the Pat wears red well. It would probably be my second choice for color.

Oh...and you don't know it yet, but I think that the audio plug on the front of your radio is about to become a favorite feature for you. I love mine!!

All my friends at work are head-over-heels for my new Riot... and every single one of them love the "burgundy" red. It really is a JEEP color!

The electrical outlet is pretty awesome. I've used it to charge my phone on long trips, when my GPS was occupying the cigarette/charger outlet. Also comes in handy to charge my spare camera battery.

I recommend that you go to Target and drop $5 on one of the little sticky grabby pads - either in the iPod or car accessory aisle. I bought one and put it in the cubby under the radio, and it keeps my phone and iPod from sliding out. I'm actually going to go buy a second one and cut it in half to put in the cubby above the glove box to keep things from sliding around in there.

If you have the fold-flat passenger seat, you'll be able to fit 8 foot lumber inside the Jeep. Hubby and I have done that several times - I just wrap a blanket around the ends of the lumber to keep from scratching my dash.

And just remember, the Patriot it bigger than it looks, and feels bigger than it is. We brought home a huge bathroom vanity in the back of that thing. Hubby crammed a bunch of Z parts in it the other weekend at the big car show down in LA. It has never failed to carry anything that I have needed it to.

Heh heh... comin your way this weekend, my dear!

P.S. I'm 25% Slovak (the rest Italian) so I was tickled to see that you're in the CR... plus one of my dearest friends is a Czech native and returns at least once a year; can't wait to get there myself but first... England this July! :D
