Today's Rant: 2012 Jeep Patriot seating position

Today's Rant: 2012 Jeep Patriot seating position
I’m short. I get it. But I have to admit, I’m thoroughly annoyed with a vehicle that completely ignores the fifth percentile female.

image.attributes.post_excerpt
Granted, I had a pretty one-sided view, but I thought I’d share some of the photos from behind the scenes at yesterday’s McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade.  I had a great time pulling the float for the Punjabi Cultural Society, and I loved the energy flowing around us that kept the float — and the Jeep Grand...

Take me with you! Offroading outside Chicago

Take me with you! Offroading outside Chicago
Living in an urban environment, I rarely get the chance to take some of the cooler cars I drive into the elements for which they were created.

Jeep launches 2011 Grand Cherokee

image.attributes.post_excerpt
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Yesterday, I spent about 5 hours driving the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We hit off-road trails and plenty of highways. But I can’t tell you about it, or I’d have to kill you. Well, not kill you. I’d likely be the one in trouble. There’s an embargo on my drive... Read more »
