Ok, I lied. I kept that Liberty. It "was" beautiful in and out. So I couldn't resist keeping it. Well here I am eating crow. To that member that sent me that message coming down hard on me for getting that Liberty, I apologize for my response. I was moving in a full patter at about 55 - 58 mph. I know this because I love to watch how many RPMs my engine is cycling at certain speeds and road conditions.Anyway like I said the pattern was full but the traffic flow was great under a perfectly clear moon lit evening. Riding the center lane I decided I wanted an ever slower ride home. So I hit the turn signal and merged right in and as I was completing the lane change I lost total control of it. Every steering correction I tried only made it worse. Now I found myself swaying all over the road trying to regain control. Luckily I hit no one. In the end the mother F*&#ing was on its side doing the death slide in the middle of a mad traffic and if I recall correctly it slid for about 5 city blocks. bruised almost my entire body, broke one wrist and badly injured the other. You would think that after a catastrophic event like that, that at least the driver's air bag would deploy. Either way no car should behave like this at these speeds and road conditions. This I believe is true just as I believe that Libertys are "NOT!!!" JEEPs! If you own a Liberty you do not own a true JEEP. 'walks away with head down in shame'
