My Jeep Disappointment?

Well, I LOVED my Jeep. Strong, powerful, cute and sexy. But then she let me down!
It's a '98 and only had 117,000 miles on her. Then she started dying while in drive!
My mechanic could not figure out the problem. We flashed the computer and still -- the problem remained. With safety now compromised I had to admit defeat and turn her in for a new car.
I got a Ford Escape hybrid and I HATE it. I'm taking it back and I'm gonna get another Jeep because that's what I want. Even still.
Larry's Comment: Good for you MJS!
Even a broken Jeep that can be fixed is a better deal than most hybrid cars in my opinion.
How far do you think that Ford Escape could get on the Rubicon Trail anyway?
