Jeep Status Gained 5th Gen Status Lost

[ws6 jim]

I haven't posted in some time nor have I been out to meets in the longest. I plan to work on that part. I have been busy with work, school, and all that life has thrown my way(mostly good).

Just wanted to check in and say hello again.

2 weeks ago my 2011 Camaro SS was caught in a flash flood right down the street from my house. I've never seen anything like it. Anyways one week later insurance sent a white flag and a check to go. I racked up 50000 miles in no time and really enjoyed my stay with it.

This week I located a 2001 rust free Jeep Cherokee with only 69000 miles owned by a little older woman for a very reasonable price. Its quite the transition, but am really enjoying it more than I thought I would.

No more car payments with this switch!

My 99 Formula that's got too much time effort and money behind it has been stored under a cover. I know that's the case with a lot of project cars. Its still for sale and may be parted out if that makes sense at this stage(still exploring my options). I'm ready to move on, but it was my first nice car and will miss it when that time comes. Anyone want to step up? Let me know. Its a lot of car for the money and the drivetrain has only 10k (rebuilt and gone through by JS Performance-->) on it and the chassis only 100k. I could use driveway space and I have a binder full of paperwork on it.

There is also a 72 Monte Carlo in the driveway mix. There are a lot of NOS parts in my loft and aftermarket pieces on a chassis that is well worn. Any takers? I've been cleaning out my 2 car garage and with some vehicle movement look forward to having a car inside of it for the first time since I was a little kid! Hopefully it will be a new car that is not out yet that I've had my eye on.

My 91 GTA is running okay and really owes me nothing. I run it around when between vehicles etc. Its been a luxury to have, but mostly just getting dirty under the tree gaining character and patina.

In the coming weeks I'm planning on starting construction on my house and looking forward to a lot of upgrades to bringing it up to 2013 code.

I have one more semester of school and will have my BS which work has been paying me to attend. I have experienced a lot over the last few years and look forward to the times going forward.

I don't know how many of you guys that remember me are still here. Hope all is well with you guys too and thanks for a moment of your time.

I've got $75. Jim, I haven't seen you around. Good to hear things are going well(aside from the car). What new car have you had your eye on?

[ws6 jim]

Hey guys the engine is gone so I can't consider any prices. Thanks for the inquiry though.
I'm not sure it's worth much more than 75 anyways







I'm looking at the new Stingray z51 but I'm thinking an early 2015 model to be realistic. I'm going to corvettes at Carlisle to check them out next month.

Hey jim, long time no see

[NastyEllEssWon]

just curious what youd need to get out of the formula to consider letting her go

[PolarBear]

Long time no hear.

Too bad you didnt tell us all earlier. Those engine offers were serious, I would have been interested in it too

Believe me, I have no doubt there is some serious money being thrown around on here. I have to laugh now that its behind me though.

Good to hear from you Jim, sorry to hear about the 5th gen.

Since no one else has asked....details / pics on the XJ?

Glad you're ok!

[Mezzy]

Hey Jim, hope you get another Camaro just for fun lol good to hear from you. Ive been away awhile also.

[ws6 jim]

Ill take pictures of the jeep this weekend when I get a chance to wash it.

As far as surviving the water things happened really quick and don't even realize how fast things change.

Unless the 6th gen is really compelling I have my eyes on the new Corvette.

Since I got an incredible deal on my 5th gen and gm has raised the sticker over the years.

Update

I finally cleaned the Jeep up recently and I've been knocking down a lot of mostly trouble free miles.

My 4th Gen is gone and dads 72 Monte Carlo is on its way out too.

All of the accompanying parts are also out the door!

I also was at the Corvettes at Carlisle show last month where I got to sit in and check out the new Stingray in person. It is a winner and I fit!
