Well I have been thinking ever since my truck got Keyed maybe to get something a little more low key and not so flashy. So been thinking about getting a Jeep SRT 12 or 13. Would like a 14 with new interior and 8speed tranny. But little more then what I want to spend now. As right now it is great not having a car payment. Still thinking about it though. I just really want a sports car and also need the SUV so might solve both issues. Plus it might be kinda nice not ridding around on skinny tires. lol.

The SRT is badass. Love them bone stock. That's a big toss up, I too love not having a payment, and a ride that looks awesome. But sometimes you get the itch, just a matter of scratching it.

If the money isn't a problem, Id say switch it up, but you know the SRT forums aren't going to be as cool as this place.

I loved my JGCSRT8 when I had one(I had a car payment though)and after awhile the fun/fast factor wore off. I did a few performance mods to it and had it running high 12.8's in the quarter....Not a huge fan of the newer body style SRt's-they just dont stand out as much as the first gens did but that might work to your favor......I had an 07' and wish I could have had that 6.4 though. Drove mine once or twice in the winter and it did OK at best-although I'm sure it would have been better on a winter style setup vs. the staggered 20's.....

The only problem is you are a clean person with attention to detail(no pun intended as you are a detailer) and your rides reflect who you are so they will always stand out from the crowd. Haters gonna hate so F em'......just sux that sometimes the jealous ones lash out at the hard working class.....Best of luck in your decision :Handshake:

Soory to hear about your Esky being keyed. Don't get rid of it unless you want to. If you get rid of the Esky because of the keyed incident then they won.

LoL. I actually had a co worker who had 'his' and 'hers' in his garage-he thought they were such great vehicles...didn't have the heart to tell him he lost his mind.....

Yeah I love the way the 14's look. My parents just got a 14 Overland and my brother has a 12 Altitude. Just for the price I can get on a 12 with onlyh 20k I would go for that. But I love the 8" Uconnect that my wife has in her 300.

Oh also it would have black wheels and GThaus exhaust lowered on either some kind of concaved wheels or WK1 22" rims.

Don't do it... at least not for the scratch reason. Anyone who looked at your Esky and wanted to scratch it because it's an esky will scratch the Jeep cause of it's looks as well.

I think there might be something a little deeper than just the scratch ;)
Maybe something along the lines of a bad ass performance based SUV :)
