I had to read the "International Buys Jeep!"story twice. Is this an April fool's joke?I understand GM and Cerberus top executives have been talking about a merger, but yourscoop that Jeep is being sold to International was a complete surprise and music to my ears.A '10 JeepWrangler with not one, but two V-6 diesel engine options?If your"deep inside" Chrysler source rumors are true,a 25-mpg torque-happy 3.0L Mercedes diesel Jeep Wranglermay find a home in my garage next year.Keep up the great articles, and I am looking forward to the next issue.David SpreitzerNewport Beach, California
Cry Me a River
I would just like to say bravo to Christian Hazel for "The $1,035 YJ" story (April '09). It's not too often these days that someone has the intestinal fortitude to come out and say "I totally ripped that chick off". What you should have done after you got the Jeep running was to go by her house, tell her how much the repairs were, then take a picture of the look of anguish on her face. They say that chivalry isn't dead, but with people like Mr. Hazel around I bet it's worried. Keep up the bad work, the world needs more villains.Name withheldVia e-mail
That's not a bad idea. Guys like you probably think I'll wind up in hell and if I believed in any of that god, devil, afterlife fairytale I might waste my breath in argument. Regardless, I fail to see how it's my responsibility to screw myself out of a good deal since I never misled or lied to anybody. I simply offered an amount I was willing to pay and it was accepted. Not my fault the chick couldn't punch in "Jeep no shift" into Google to find a few possible causes for her troubles and it's not my fault she waited until the eleventh hour to get rid of a vehicle she knew needed to be gone before she vacated her rental house. Rules of the watering hole, my friend. Last time I checked the lion doesn't tell the gazelle there are safer places to drink.-Christian Hazel

Kudos to Jpand Harry Wagner!After pissing off a third of your subscribers by sending us some DVD that we needed to pay for or return, Harry goes and trashes another third who own Jeeps shod with 33s ("White Sheep", April '09).Maybe you could write an article degrading women or cats or something to make sure you don't leave anyone out!Dean MathewsMuskogee, Oklahoma
