Should Jeeps and Mustangs Have “Refined” Interiors?
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
Jalopnik is all excited about the revised interior in the 2011 Jeep. And most of the automotive press did backflips over the 2010+ Mustang interior. Honestly, though, I prefer the older, less “refined” interiors in the 2007 – 2010 Wrangler and the 2005 – 2009 Mustang. I think that Jeeps and Mustang should be more plain jane and less “soft touch.” Below is a pic of the 2011 Wrangler interior. I’ve pasted interior pics from the 2007 Wrangler, the 2011 Mustang GT and the 2008 Bullitt after the jump! Check ‘em out and let us know which interiors you prefer!

A Multicultural Mashup
By Ben Schaffer
The Real JDM
This thing is so creative and awesome on so many levels. Lets start with the SR20 motor swap into a Jeep. Already we’re off to an interesting start! A classic Watanabe wheel choice, some crazy custom body work and suspension work take this ride to a higher level of intrigue…but throw in a McLaren F1-esque center driving position with a single Bride bucket seat and this thing is worthy of some serious praise for originality!

Daniel grafted a new Commander nose onto his ’88 Cherokee. What do you think–does it work? It sure does light up the night better than it used to, I’ll bet. Check out the before and after.

Save the Wave!
Bick66
Waving is a traditionally enjoyed means for many of us automotive enthusiasts to briefly share recognition with other drivers on the road who exhibit similar automotive interests. The Save the Wave site is specifically dedicated to Corvette owners, with a simple mission of preserving the time-honored tradition of waving to other passing Corvettes. Whether riding my motorcycle or driving any one of the enthusiast cars I’ve owned, I’ve always waved to passersby driving similar rides. I’ve even caught myself wanting to wave to a motorcycle or Corvette while driving one of my other cars as if they somehow know what’s in my garage at home. Now obviously, no one make or model owns waving–it’s a topic of conversation across diverse automotive forums, and I found this article reminding Jeep owners to wave at passing Jeeps. How one waves can vary greatly as well. I enjoy the subtle “cool-guy” wave–two to four fingers while keeping my hand on the steering wheel. But sometimes I can’t resist the urge to just toss my hand high in the air and wave wildly from side to side. Read more…
