There's just something wrong about a Jeep with an automatic transmission.
It wasn't the tranny that made her dislike it so much; it was the lift kit and wheels and tires she put on it.
She drove my Nitro and it's actually pretty close to the same vehicle, and the first things she said was "it's like the Jeep only more civilized going down the road"
