Not Blind. Sam your reputation precedes you.
Many of us have our reputations to protect, sniff

Yeah the 4 CRD owners that frequent the shop I work at are yuppie starbucks drinking idiots.The manager was cashing out one after his alignment and the customer was talking about something about his suspension and told him to come talk to me,the customer was like "why?".Then the manager pointed to my SFA'd KJ and then the customer wanted to know why he would talk about his suspension in the Jeep with a guy with a Exterra,the manager looked at him crazy and stated it is a Jeep Liberty.What a idiot,couldn't even spot another KJ to save his life.

That makes sense, because most Liberty owners are yuppie starbucks drinking idiots.

I live only a few hundred miles away from Toledo, and yet I've only seen a handful of CRDs around in the past 5 years. They aren't super rare....but they are rare.

Just the other day there were two guys in a toyota pickup behind me and in my mirrors I could see them sticking their heads out the window trying to read the back of my Jeep. I could tell they were curious about it...but they couldn't get around traffic to catch up with me. Sometimes these diesel Jeeps still intrigue people.

The most classic though was when I had a 2,200 lb. flatbed car hauler hooked up to the CRD with my buddy's modified Tacoma 4x4 loaded on and we pulled into a Flying J truckstop on the KY/TN state line for fuel. As I eased into the line for the big diesel pumps to fill up...people started coming out of the store to see what was going on. One guy even came over and started asking me how I like the Mercedes Benz diesel. :ROTFL:

Keep in mind the WK CRD wasn't out yet. I tried to explain to him that I didn't have a Benz. He tried to argue with me and I nearly popped the hood...but figured he wasn't worth it. Everybody else just stared as my little Jeep drug the 6,700 lb. load up to the diesel pumps. :SOMBRERO:

That 2.8l diesel motor has endless torque, perhaps to much and that's why you guy's with the auto trans are experiencing problems with shudder etc. I don't know if doing these performance mods to extract extra grunt is worth it in the long run because you putting everything else under stress to cope with the extra power and torque.

You fellas in the USA are used to the big blocks and V8's and huge power to mass ratios where the trend now amongst the vehicle manufacturers is small CC's with turbo or super chargers or both.

I've only been noticed by a diesel enthusiast once... (to my knowledge at least) It wasn't by another CRD owner, but from a Dodge Cummins driver. I think he saw the plug for my block heater peaking out of the grill.

He made a U-turn and pulled up next to me and gave her some throttle. I waved, dropped it into 4-wheel turned off the ESP, and when the light changed I showed him that I could blow a little bit of smoke too. His license plate was "Deezul" IIRC. The windows on his Dodge were tinted so dark I really don't know if it was a guy or gal driving. Good times...

There are three or four CRD's that park in the same deck at work here.

That was me, in the silver CRD. I had taken my mother to the hospital in Frisco for altitude sickness/dehydration in the middle of the night, and was headed back there in the morning.

Not just all yuppies in CRDs :oops:

I waved at a CRD owner on I95 today near Mystic Seaport and she gave me the finger. I wanted to fender bend her vehicle just to get her number, but I didn't respond quick enough. She left me behind in the smoke of her EGR blowby.

I wanted to inform her that she needed a GDE tune.

Just goes to show you what we already know, JEEP TJ owner’s trade salutes with a thumbs up or a nod, while JEEP CRD owners get the middle finger.
