New from TX

Rnmovr12 · 12-07-2009, 10:08 PM

just wanted to stop in and say hi from a jeeper. my girlfriend just ordered a 2010 Z and has been lurking here for a while and wanted me to check out the forum. i know alot about jeeps and hopefully will learn alot about the Z so i can help her out and we can both learn. anyway we are both very excited to get the Z and will end up taking alot of pictures of it.

my jeep:

the girlfriends old car:

id say the Z is a big improvement

Welcome aboard. Congrats on your g/f's purchase. Don't be surprised if you start to swap cars more often. LOL!

vipor · 12-08-2009, 09:49 AM

atlanticblue · 12-08-2009, 01:08 PM

Haha, well I guess I'll post now. Hi, i'm the g/f. Ordered a red touring, sport package, 6 speed and now waiting anxiously for it to come in.

vipor · 12-08-2009, 01:09 PM

hello "g/f"

kdo is gonna be your friend as far as reds in TX.

mad props on the 6mt

atlanticblue · 12-08-2009, 01:13 PM

Thanks! I actually don't really know how to drive stick very well, although I've been able to practice a little on one of my step-dad's cars, but I'm not too worried, especially since it has syncrorev match on it.

iceman21_23 · 12-08-2009, 02:00 PM

the thing about driving a manual transmission isn't shifting gears from 1-2-3 etc. but to get going is the hardest part. syncro-rev doesn't help with that at all.

vipor · 12-08-2009, 02:09 PM

SRM makes down shifting unbelievably smooth and easy. shifting is still a lil blah for the first few on these girls. hey, at least is isn't a ford ranger lol. i hate kneeing myself in the chest to shift

Gunzero · 12-08-2009, 02:10 PM

my family movin to austin soon woo

Rnmovr12 · 12-08-2009, 03:28 PM

vipor · 12-08-2009, 03:30 PM
