I would like to do the HE pump and pulley and tune.
But the windows have to get tinted first

I couldn't bring myself to drive the srt8 in the snow, got caught in the rain a few times though.

Welcome. Glad to hear you came from the SRT8, did you do any mods to it?
The tints were done the second day I had the AMG.

It does look good and is infinitely nicer, but I don't know why they decided to let it be slower

Its a nice sport suv but it comes with a steep price tag as well.

Welcome!
* The SRT8 Cherokee definitely a cool vehicle. However, I hope the Saab stable belonged to your significant other. Saabs are gay.*

Re: New E55

Congrats and welcome aboard. I owned an 07 Jeep SRT-8 for a couple of years, it was one quick truck, but I sold it to find garage space for my E63.

Enjoy that E55.

The stage 4 viggen is a daily driver, my wife has the aero x.
Saabs are a corky vehicle but being gay is a little harsh lol...

Curious why you won't drive the 55 in the rain. I love doing that.
