JP or JW? '09 Jeep Compass
Posted: July 14th, 2015, 9:42 pm
Hi everyone,
So trying to find an affordable wrangler on a full-time student's budget is next to impossible in the Boston area. Everything I found in my price range had rotting frames from the salt in the roads or needed serious bodywork or parts repairs, and I don't know how to do either myself. I didn't plan on ever taking it off-road but I needed something with 4 wheel drive for the winters here, so I found a light khaki 2009 Jeep Compass Sport. It's a manual 5-speed with 150k miles on it. It has a new clutch and starter and should last me at least the next two years until I finish school. Either way I'm going to keep it until it dies.
Inspired by you guys here at the forum, I have decided to customize it, but in light of the new movie, I can't decide on making it a Jurassic Park or Jurassic World vehicle. I know the color is not really correct, but I figure it's close enough. Painting it is not really an option for financial reasons.
So... JP red theme? Or JW blue?
