Ha! Nah, I've lived in AU for a decade... just get back for holidays and vacations at times... I sail. Bought a yacht in Mexico and spent six months cruising Mexico before taking a year to cross the South Pacific. We then raced her in the Sydney Hobart yacht race (one of the more difficult sailing races around)... So the CaptStarboard is a play on that... you call out "Starboard" when someone is coming at you and you have right of way...

I'll go dribble in the corner, waiting the next two years for the Gladiator to make it over here and save up my average salary to buy it
I used to be a "sailor" before I became a "real" Sailor ( Navy, retired as of 2004) :clap: . Back home (Long Island, NY) my best friend started out with a 20ft Oday and progressed to a 26+ft. Oday. We spent many summers sailing Long Island Sound, but mostly in Peconic Bay, out Eastern fork of Long Island . As a teen we all used to gather to watch the America Cup Races .
Your too modest . . . having difficulty seeing you having to save for 2 years for the Gladiator, even at Aussie Prices ? You just said you have a Sailing Yacht ! Got photo or 2 to share ? I could come up with 1 maybe 2 of our "tiny" yachts, ha ! I'd have to convert old school photos into digital, download to iPhoto and then fit to size and post ! :headbang: pain in the arse ! Or is it head ? ;) .

Wow, you race yachts, take 6 month holidays, and come on forums to shit on Americans for being worried about pricing on their dream Jeeps. Quite a life.

No no, I'm just messing. What I meant was. Wisconsin guys? I probably shouldnt brag. Alcoholism is a serious issue.

I went to UW Madison frequently ranked top 5 party schools in USA.
My half brother is from sun prairie. First time time I went to Madison I was oddly fascinated with the endless bacon that was served with my numerous beers I consumed. I had a great weekend. WI has some damn nice golf courses also. Yea you guys can slam some brews down lol.

Well, it's an illiteration at least... Dribble, drivel, drool!!! Maybe it's an oxymoron. Dunno. How about A twist? Yeah, like I was watching the fake jeep news dribble out, such drivel! And then I drooled again looking at the build site. Dang it! These morons ought add price to this equation; it sort of matters! Hey wait. Where's my fucking two door option?
"this" ^ falls under > :whatsgoingon: . . . :whatsgoingon: Too . To many :beer:'s ? ;) :facepalm: . Don't worry too much . . . the "GLAD" will get here . . .

It says it was 10pm when you wrote this dribble . . . may of been past bedtime ? . . . Grammar check ! ? :)
Lol. That was a highly rated post imo. I do not request additional feedback.

We would all be busy with our builds if we had an actual price! Therefore...

I will address your concern by making a proper referral to the person who can best assist you.

Your issue may be addressed best with the marketing department.

Please contact the project team leader via email here: [email protected]

"Because at Jeep, we price our products so even yacht owners have to 'save up' , intentionally so.."

Nahh. Lou, i like you. I like 99% of the guys on here. I've gone out of my way to post stuff to help people out. Even helped you get your Avatar up. Normally i wouldn't call somebody out,

But this newbie comes on here within 8 posts and says he's laughing at ya'll because we're concerned about pricing, hard working guys that are just concerned they may not be able to afford their dream of 2-10-20-30 years, then he disrespects me about my statistical evidence from a website in australia that he doesn't like in a rude manner? nahhhhh

Some rich yacht racing punk needs to apologize, or bugger off.

Steff, I don't know what to say or where to begin on saying it . . . . . . . . ? Thank you for "the like," and for your help .
you know, Steff, NON of US really "know" each other . . . and to make snap judgements based on SO LITTLE, makes no sense ! NONE ! WHY this country seems to be all in a tipsy-fit the past couple years ! ARE WE, as a society become so shallow, so unable to walk in another persons shoes . . . even for just a moment ? I'm no Saint, but it sure feels much nicer (inside myself) being, or trying to be, Nice instead of Angry ! Just a thought !

I appreciate your wisdom and will ponder it, but again this person (troll) is clearly NOT on this forum to be nice and help people when 25% or more of his posts (at least 2 of 8) were negative of this forum's community of random folk.

Definition: An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" is a person who posts messages to bait people to answer. Trolls often delight in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion.

Dang it, I fell for this, lol.
