Yeah. With, you know, I just start thinking about my job and the fact that I may jump in my truck and drive 600 miles, they have to make sure that there's charging stations along the way. If I time it right, but then the time to charge versus fill up with gas and keep moving and play fast, it doesn't fit. Now driving around Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, yeah, EVs are fine. You got a 10 mile commute to work. Okay, great. You're covered. Right. But not if you have to seriously do anything on the road at this point. I'm not there yet. Well, I don't think the EVs are there yet, but they're doing amazingly well. I believe I'm a little older than you. So I remember, and you made it also remember the D size batteries that you had to have for everything, especially flashlights. And if you left your flashlight on. My wife had some tools that were B size batteries, I think. Oh, okay. Anytime there's a change though, right? I mean, when they came out with the gladiator, my first, I thought they were ugly. That was my first response. I'm like, they are. Oh my God. You know, that's, and then they're wrong. Somebody was calling me on this the other day. They said that I had said in a prior show that the gladiator looked anemic and I said it does. I mean, without any kind of lift or bigger tires on it, it looks funky. It needs to have stuff done to it. And even after that, it still looks a little funky. It doesn't have that. That's the sleekness of the JL or even the JK. Yeah, but then you look at what are the guys that were driving CJ5, CJ7s and the CJ8 came out. Those are cool looking. Yeah. Look how long, but they were, they were, those weren't that popular because they, they looked kind of weird having that be that long. And then the TJs, how many TJs did they sell versus LJs? The LJ, that has to grow on you a little bit because it's long. It looks funny. Yeah, it does look funny being long like that, but still it's a coveted TJ era Jeep. And I would have loved to got one, especially whenever you have the soft top on it. It looks weird because it's so much longer than the TJ. But there's, there's, I think you did a really cool thing getting an LJ. How much did that thing cost you? Yeah. And you can tell me the wife, the figure you told your wife. The CJ seven was right there. And then you go into the TJs and now you've got more creature comforts. It's still nimble. It still has similar appearance. You get into the, the JK and the JL. I mean, there's some great looking vehicles and from an off-road perspective, I put my two door JK up against pretty much anybody except where you go over an obstacle. It's got, it needs a long wheelbase. Right. You know, there's, it depends on where you're at. I went through an obstacle just last Saturday that, that the, the JKU in front of me struggled with and, and even with my short Jeep, I went up and over it and got around it. And, but then there was a Toyota pickup truck behind me that also made it. So that's a whole other thing. But, but you know, it's, it's really personal preference. I mean, if you grew up looking at JK saying, God, I have to have one of those. The guy's going to love the way it looks, the way it feels, the way it rides. If that's all you know, I've been driven all of them. I mean, if I'm just going to run a town four or five miles, I'm jumping in the LJ or I'm probably going to jump in a CJ and just buzz around and have fun. If I'm going to drive for an hour, I want some creature comforts. When you get into the JK or the JL, it's a lot more comfortable to ride and as a daily. And I think what I'm hearing here, and you correct me if I'm wrong on this is it doesn't really matter because they all are Jeeps and they all will do things that a lot of vehicles can't do. And there's certain aspects to certain models of Jeeps and the length of the wheelbase and stuff that make them a little bit better than another one. So the cool thing is, is that Jeep has not lost their way at least yet. They're continuing to build Jeeps from the forties all into now, what are we like 2020 or something here? I'm going to go back to 2020. But then they needed something in Indiana and I kind of sicked them on the Badlands off-road park, having been over there for several events with jamborees and Jeep academies and things. Anyway, as it turns out, Scott Ammerman was unable to attend and he's the regional director out of #jeep #jeeplife #jtschicchat #ejs2024 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erQLGp8AmrY

Rumors of Jeep and Toyota developing small, but capable, 4x4 vehicles. Before you say "NO!" remember the size and abilities of the Willis. #jeeptalkshow #jeep #jeeplife #jtschicchat ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejmY-VMSw0w
