Ramon prefered to read his book!

Dad's new Jeep Grand Cherokee.  The power of the 4.7L motor netted him 3 speeding camera tickets.  So he sold it 1.5 months later.  It was the motor's fault, not his heavy foot.  Didn't need it...the Sienna is much more comfy....and gutless with a 3L motor :)

Control

When I was younger I felt I had a lot of things under control.  These days?  There is sooooo much we don't know.
