Probably the last Jeep I'll ever own, too. I'm 66 and drive about 8000 miles per year.

In all likelihood, it'll out live me!
Hell, I'm 75 and have put nearly 7,000 miles in 13 months on mine. I just hope I make it longer than the warranty!

I like Grand Cherokees a LOT. I think they look like the coolest thing on wheels these days. Then there is the Trackhawk. Holy f***.
I had a '12 Jeep Cherokee SRT. For as heavy an SUV as that was, it was a blast to drive. Problem is, I had so many cosmetic issues (fender flares kept coming unglued; front bumper cover retaining brackets around the headlights kept failing), and mechanical issues (Bilstein shocks failed; remote start failed and somehow killed my starter), I literally had it the shop EVERY month for the year plus that I owned it. I sent an email to the owner of the dealership, mainly just to vent, and he called me personally to make it right. He asked how soon I could get it to the dealership so his maintenance and body shop managers could get to work on it, and he offered to reimburse me for one of my monthly payments. I told him that was a generous offer, but it was currently dead in my garage and I couldn't get it started. You can't make this stuff up. He sent a flatbed and had it towed in, and they really tried to get it straight, but that thig was snakebit from the beginning. I eventually gave up on it and traded it. Ironically, I swore to my wife that was THE LAST JEEP I WOULD EVER OWN. Yet here I am, 2 Wranglers and 1 Gladiator later. I would love to drive one of the Trackhawks. I'm sure they're insane with the Hellcat.

Jeep circle of life.

There is a Trackhawk at the ortho next my work. It is always there, so it must be reliable.

That chick makes me want to get back into Harley poker runs lol
I once found myself at a HD parking lot get together (vendors, music, food) at a dealer. I was with a fellow rider who was into HD ... I was on my FJR1300 wearing a full Aerostich suit (My normal touring get up) ... I was the most out of place person you could possibly imagine ... People were nice but it was rather odd ...

It was summer and there were more juggs on display than I could possibly have imagined or expected ... Tiny bikini tops, sleeveless shirts with full side boob in your face ... Literally hanging out every direction you looked ...

All that to say that I've never been anywhere where there was more exposed skin that I didn't want to see ... It was like a flapjack convention ...

The woman in that picture would not be found at a HD poker run ... You might find her 64 year old 240lb cousin there belching up some PBR and sucking on a Marlboro red whilst slinking around in daisy dukes that were one busted thread away from exploding into a puff of smoke. And it would go downhill from there ...

Just sayin ...
