That's what everyone's been telling me, but I've got no reason to. I don't want a house, and have no reason to want one. I have no responsibilities right now, and I like that, and want to take advantage of that. Plus, with all of the incentives to buy new, I can put the money I'll have saved for this Jeep by the time I buy it into something that will
make me money, while D-C loans me their money for free. So after 3 years, the Jeep is paid off, and I've invested 20 grand through my work's stock/bond/mutual funds.

Drive a cheap car or truck with cheap insurance and save for a house. SRT-8 is a nice ride but I don't think just starting out you need a $40k Jeep.
Hell, I'll be in the market for another car soon cause I no longer have the caddy. I make quite a bit of money but I'm still looking for a 1 or 2 year old car under $20k. Let someone else take the big depreciation hit. You can get low mileage cars with under 30k miles for dirt cheap.
I dunno, nice Jeep but not really a good daily. No displacement on demand with the 6.1 so it will suck for mileage.
I don't need a house. No kids, no wife, no girlfriend, no nothing. I've got a job. I need a bed, a shower, a toilet, and a small kitchen. So I rent a room from a friend. It's really cheap, has everything I need including a garage, and I'm happy here.
I'm done driving cheap cars. I want a nice car. I want one much more than I do a house. If I needed a house, it'd be a whole lot different. But as it is, I'd like to play while I'm young, since I won't be able to for a long time. I want my midlife crisis car now, not 25 years from now, and I've got the resources to get it done now, so why not?
I don't care about the gas mileage. The drive to work is short enough, and I make enough money, to where it isn't an issue. And the enjoyment I'll get out of it is worth every penny.

They look fucking
sweet once dropped an inch or two. I agree though, I would need to fix the rims and/or tires, they look a little off. It also would need stainless long tubes, Corsa exhaust, CAI, and a tune. 12s without breaking a sweat.

The older GC's would nice for their time, but they've got nothing on the new ones. The 5.9 is a pig next to the 4.7 of the 2000's, and even moreso the current base Hemi.
