Carbon footprint? Why is THAT!??I've never named my cars, but I came up with this a few months ago and thought it quite appropriate. Her name is GiGi - which stands for gas guzzler! Gas here is the equivalent of $4.78/gallon. I love this thing so much though that I don't care! lol
I don't know, but our gas has always been a lot more expensive than yours. It was cheaper a few days ago, then went up 60 cents/gallon overnight! And, any day now, we're supposed to be getting a 20 cent/gallon carbon tax added to the gas price. I keep saying good thing I bought a Jeep! lol
Fred, I can't believe how good that looks!!!Got the new Rubicon Extremes put on today. I like the look and am getting full tire contact with the road with the wider rims. They measure 17 X 9.5 with 4.5" backspacing and a 6mm offset. Cost a bit more than expected as I had to buy new valve stems. They are not usable after taken off the old wheels.
I used a 1 3/4" Piece of 1 1/4 PVC and the chair feet for tailgate bumpers. Didn't even need to paint them. Thanks for the tip @McBeeve .

It’s so funny that Alex mentioned a name! I was just thinking this morning that we should do a name roundup! We all know Vida....
She’s the only baby I’ll ever have & I talk about her accordingly!
So let’s do it up!! What do we have for names?!
Ladies and gentlemen, please meet my handsome buddy Goose!

Glad to be of assistance and that new wheel/tire combo looks great Fred!Got the new Rubicon Extremes put on today. I like the look and am getting full tire contact with the road with the wider rims.

Thanks Alex.
Funny, as soon as I saw Goose, I immediately thought of Top Gun. Excellent choice, it really suits him!
I agree. Like I said, it's totally worth it. I look forward to driving it every day and get a stupid, giggly grin every time someone gives me the Jeep wave. lol And actually, it doesn't get much worse mileage than my VW did...
Thank you for the kind words!Thanks Alex.
What exhaust is that? Can you post more pics please?Well, my plate says McBeeve so consequently my wife started calling it that and it's just kinda stuck.
Hellooooo, Goose!!!Ladies and gentlemen, please meet my handsome buddy Goose!
I decided to name him Goose because of Grey Goose (he’s Sting Gray) and because he makes me feel like a Maverick (Top Gun).
Goose and I look forward to hanging out with Vida and Gabrielle later this month!
I love it!
