Fully specc'ed it's right at $60k so it's not that cheap. The Jeep GC Trackhawk adds 300HP for an additional $10-12k more, but that model is so well past its prime I'm having a hard time considering it as an option. 

True... the $60k price tag isn't chump change by any means... and yes while the Trackhawk has 707hp... the only place yo'll be racing to is the next gas station. I'm all for high ho fun vehicles... but what the hell do you do w/ 707hp in a Jeep?

Avoid accidents. Seriously. That's why I can't drive a slow car. I think having something with quick acceleration is useful for getting yourself out of sticky situations like getting on and off interstates.

The other factor is that I'm in sales. I often have to drive customer to and from job sites and to lunch or other events. Having 707HP is useful for bragging rights and impressing blue collar tradesmen and distributors.

I'm not saying anyone can't have fun.  This thread was created with a specific topic in mind.  Someone decided to move from that specific topic.  I don't care that they talk about it, just make a new thread for that.  Its a simple concept.

I now decree this as a post your pictures of any car thread.

I have the most rep, so I get to make the rules.

This is quite true.

Go places... quickly.

Could be more nuts. In the day AMC thought putting V8s in CJs was fine.

Then again, judging by the bumper babe, it was a wise move.

A buddy on one of my teams put down the 150$ deposit on one.

We've already given him shit about it in the group chat.

The whole busted window forced Tesla stock to drop $3 billion from Musk's fortune.  I sincerely hope he's trolling everyone with that thing

A contractor buddy pulled the trigger on a deposit too... I wonder if he just might be that much of a troll, though...

straight out of Blade Runner or Total Recall. Can’t be serious with that design.

I’m sure the production model’s performance will be as advertised but the design is comical imo.
