Steve this may help answer some questions http://www.longislandfirearms.com/forum/m-1276558821.12785/s-all/

Cool indeed!

Welcome to the forum. Great place to be lurking, learning and giving information.

You are right it is noisy and bumpy but the way I see it is that "it's a jeep" not a luxury sedan. My 09 Jeep Patriot serves our purposes well and gets great gas mileage - 27 HWY 22 CITY

What many people don't realize especially young new drivers is that an SUV can roll over a lot easier than a coupe or sedan. The Jeeps are top heavy and the wheel base is narrow which makes it a perfect combination for a rollover. They are even more prone to rollover than a good solid pickup which usually have a wider wheel base and lower center of gravity. As scary as it may be putting a 2 ton vehicle in the hands of a 16 y.o. what most young drivers need to know is that SUV's DO NOT handle like a sedan or a coupe. I've handled way to many accident cases involving young people and SUVs. Once they understand the idea that you can't take curves at 50 mph with an SUV like you may be able to do with a sedan or coupe, then they should have no problem. My daughter is going to be driving next year when she turns 16 and we plan on giving her our 09 Patriot. She already knows the difference in handling between our 09 Jeep and my Infiniti G37X sedan which by the way has incredible handling and capable of taking curves at 50+ mph. But when I drive with her in my car and in then my Jeep she notices how differently I drive the Jeep from the G37. She knows the two vehicles don't handle the same and she has mentioned it to me on numerous occasions. I've had three different Jeeps in the last 20 years and had collisions with two of them. Both took the hit very well and protected us. I would rather have my daughter driving an SUV than a small VW Bug or Mini Cooper type vehicle any day.

LMAO!!! Me thinks you encountered a Ninja Turkey!!

I like fast cars and the bullet concept but I cant imagine driving 155mph anywhere in NY. LOL

Wow! He's gonna be a nice wide 8 pointer.

Congrats Eddie! I just hit 20 in May myself.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. BTW what's a "home brew trailcam"? Did you build your own?

Oy vey Elmo! Are you thinking of jumping ship???

Is PETA at it again??

I would not hesitate to do what this father did to protect his 5 year old daughter from being raped. A grand jury decided not to indict the father. Hallelujah! http://news.yahoo.co...-151942957.html

Cool thanks for the tip. Just entered to win their crossbow and compound bow!

OMG! I can't believe that lady sat there and took that crap from those good for nothing trolls. She should press charges against the kids who were touching her. Any unwanted touching constitutes a battery. Filing charges and the police arresting them may scare them straight. Whether the DA prosecutes is a different story. I can't believe such disrespect. It stems from their home life. Either their parents don't give a sh*t or they are just like their kids. I was raised in a strict household. All my father had to do was give me the look and I knew I was in deep sh*t. If I didn't change my attitude I'd get a nice smack on the a$$. Nowadays, the fear that CPS may be knocking on your door if you smack your own child on the a$$ is so controlling that parents have such "couldn't care less" or "what can I do about it?" attitudes. The sad thing is these kids know the system well.

Thank God she's ok. I fight with my son to wear his helmet. I tell him "no helmet=no bike".

Oh man I peed on myself after reading that

Great shirt!

Congrats! Grampa! Definitely the best fathers day gift ever!

When I saw this I thought I was watching my 11 yo son's litte league game. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/circus-music-rockies-miscues-turn-miguel-cabrera-grounder-003737569--mlb.html

Thank you Grow! Happy Fathers day to all my fellow hunting dads.!

The last pic shows what my view will be this Sunday while I lay on my hammock in my yard.

No one s judging. To each their own.
