www.fquick.com/videos/viewvideo.php?id=520Thought this was a riot! I am taking delivery on my new Ford 500 this week, (like the one in this video) so the YJ is no longer my Daily Driver. I'm keeping the YJ though, not to worry!

So much for a $4k+ self-parking feature!

priceless vid! When I first heard about this, I thought cool! Then I started thinking... who buys a lexus sedan anyway? A middle-aged woman with a high money-to- brains ratio. These types of people (older women) usually cannot drive to begin with. Now give them a car that parks itself, and they are going to be even more dependent on the car to do things that ANYONE WITH A LICENSE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO. What happens when her lexus is in the shop, and her loaner car can't park for her? Hopefully she will not try and park next to my jeep  |

"no more dd the jeep eh? how come"
The answer you all want to hear... Now I can beat the crap out of my YJ and not be so worried about it as it is a third vehicle!
The whole new car bug started when the 4 door Wrangler came out but I couldn't spend the 30K (I know I would have wanted the rubi or the fully loaded sahara) The we figured it would cost us less money to just buy a nice third car and keep the Jeep for fun. This way I get the smooth ride of a big fast car and the fun of the Jeep. Now I have 3 cars and 2 scooters between my wife and I and I don't even drive to work, I take the Commuter Rail.

Just missed the peformance and handling and gas mileage of driving a regular car after all these years of driving my wife's Pathfinder and my big, noisy, lifted 4 banger Jeep with a soft top. Now the Jeep will last longer used only a 1000 miles per year or so with the added car. Any Ford guys out there? The 500 is a nice big American car, bigger than a Tourus but smaller than a Crown Vic, my first time buying American (Jeep was used) and it feels good to do my part! |

The ford 500 is a great luxury sedan that's all around comfortable. I say the 500 is a good choice for a mid-priced luxury.

Nope no Navi, but I do have a hand held Garmin with the latest City Select loaded in it which I can use in any of the vehicles, it just does not talk to me  |
