What car are you dumping to make room for your WK2?

I am anxiously awaiting my WK2, mainly because it is a new toy. I will be sad to part with my current ride when the jeep arrives though, my 2005 Volvo V70R. It was Volvos attempt to match the high performance versions of other companies, like the Audi S4. They don't make the "R" anymore. It has a turbo charged 300HP engine, all wheel drive, 0-60 under 6 seconds, HUGE Brembo brakes and rotors, 6 speed manual, active chassis system that lets you choose between three damping settings on the shocks (can go so stiff you feel like your in a vette), seating for 7 (with the rear facing seats in the trunk), and a nice body style that doesn't draw attention from the cops. When I got it, I thought is was faster and handled better than my Mitsu 3000GT. Like my WK2, it was a custom order and I had to wait a long time for it. I remember getting up each morning and tracking its progress on the ship as it crossed the Atlantic Ocean. I was moving from Cleveland, to Salt Lake City for work, and the car made it to Cleveland with only one week to spare! It does great in the snow and ice, except that the front spoiler is a little low, and there are days when I'm not sure I will make it out of my street if the plows haven't come through yet because of the limited ground clearance. Every car I've had in the last 22 years was a manual, and I'm tired of shifting. Can't wait to get my WK2 with automatic (something I never thought I would say).... I hope the WK2 is half as reliable as my V70R has been. I will miss her....

10' Corolla Traded in on 12' WK2 Altitude.

The corolla was a great first "new" car and I made it my own, tinted the windows and added 17' Chrome Scion wheels.

BUUUT in the pacific NW where it rains/snows quite a bit...I wanted something that sits higher.

Couldn't be happier with my first Jeep...feels like I have a cadillac compared to that corolla. :D

I sold my 2000 Chevy S10 ZR2 with 175000 so my wife could get a 2012 Black Forest Green Overland V8. I upgraded to her 2005 WK Limited v8. Everybody here was a winner!

2004 Audi A4. I loved that car for the handling and it was a little tank in the snow, but the repair bills started to add up. I also wanted to get into something a little bigger for some road trips and higher off of the ground, as I live in CO. The Audi had the lowered sport suspension and different fascias / side skirts, so I was way too low to the ground.

I'm loving the Jeep so far.

I've recently sold my 2008 Ford Territory Ghia turbo.
Fantastic AWD car. This was my second one, first was NA.
Stock was close enough to 300hp, mine had just over 400hp with a few tweeks....

Loved it, but the fuel bill was starting to get to me, especially since I drove it using all 400hp....


Also trying to sell this currently.
2006 Volvo XC90 V8..

Wife went from a 2001 ford focus to a 2013 Overland V8. I'm still driving my 2005 WRX. Pretty nice upgrade for her! Only a couple more years of the Subaru until I upgrade to an Audi S6.
2010 JGC with the old sluggish engine. It has served me very well however but I won't miss it at all.
