The Jeep has a colorful history. Unfortunately, that same perspective has led to some less-than-flattering myths about a vehicle that curiously continues to soar in popularity.

Now a division of the Chrysler Corporation, the Jeep secured its place in history as an all purpose vehicle for the military. Outranking competing developers it won the hearts of servicemen as rugged and dependable. America went to war with the Jeep. Soon after, the Jeep vehicle began taking its place alongside makes and models in every corner of the globe.

Fast forward to the present and the myths begin to crumble.

Heralded as the first Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) Jeep is relentless in its effort to maintain claim to that "rugged dependablility." For the outdoorsman who likes to venture off-road, the Wrangler offers the only straight-axle, sturdy construction to lend assurance to the journey. A compact powerhouse, this vehicle will take you anywhere you choose to wander.

For real myth busting, Jeep also adds a touch of class.

Priced far below the competition, Jeep captures luxury that was once only found in stately, high end automobiles. Sleek new designs are wrapped around spacious, air conditioned cabins. Each passenger is treated to ample leg room and comfortable seating as the sound system delivers a quality performance. In the cockpit, the driver is in total control with complete guaging to monitor vehicle operation. Windows and door locks are a touch away and the convenience of cruise-control for those longer drives is suitably located in the steering wheel.

The Grand Cherokee and the Cherokee Sport have emerged as the number one and number two in luxury sport utility vehicles on the market. This remarkable ascension is, in no small part, the result of quality engineering and staying true to the formula of total dependability. Stunning design and room for storage are notable features.

Handling is a requisite for most drivers. With a tight turning radius and a reliable powerplant to lend an edge, Jeeps are, in short, absolutely fun to drive. No other vehicle on the road delivers the excitement, the comfort or the luxury without insulting your pocketbook. And that means a lot!

So, while other people just drive their vehicles, driving a Jeep is a lot like driving an American adventure. Solid, dependable and just enough class to end all the myths.
Come to think of it, that might be a myth unto itself!

Cessna 172 - Facts For Beginners

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most popular plane that Cessna has ever produced. The first prototype of the 172 was flown in 1955 and production began for the craft in 1956. The normal cruising speed for a fixed-gear 172 ranges from about 105 to 125 knots, depending on the engine and vintage. The Cessna 172 was a new idea by Cessna which they were hoping would be popular with the public. The plane was an overnight success though, with sales reaching 1,400 in its first year, 1956. The official production estimate of the Cessna 172 Skyhawk is between 35,000 to 43,000 aircraft.

The basic Cessna 172 Skyhawk remained in production until being replaced by the Cessna 172A in early 1960. The 172A introduced a swept back tail and rudder. However, the Cessna 172B, which arrived in late 1960, introduced a shorter undercarriage and other equipment changes. Then, the Skyhawk name was first introduced for the deluxe version which was produced after the 172B.

The engine used on the type of Cessna 172 which was produced from 1955 to 1967 was the six cylinder Continental O-300. Afterward, this engine was replaced by the four cylinder Lycoming O-320. The equipment and the instruments used were analog, but currently Cessna is going to be introducing into their planes the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit which is reported to be the new way forward with airplane avionics and equipment.

The Cessna 172's competitors include the Beechcraft Musketeer, the Grumman American AA-5 series (neither in production today, but were competitors during the 1960s and 70s), the Piper Cherokee, the Diamond DA-40, and the Cirrus SR-22. These earlier versions of the 172 shipped with a 145 horsepower engine. Later planes shipped with engines up to 180 horsepower, though 150 or 160 hp is more common. Cessna produced a retractable gear version of the Cessna 172 named the Cutlass 172RG and also produced versions on floats.

The Cessna 172RG also had a variable pitch, constant speed propeller and more powerful stock engine as did the more spartan militarized Cessna 172E that was sold to the U.S. Army as a spotter plane. The Cessna R172K Hawk XP was produced in the late 1970's, and featured a fuel injected Continental IO-360-k, which performs only to 195hp. This aircraft is capable of a 131 knot cruise speed, and performs similarly to the Cessna 182.

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the aircraft most people visualize when they hear the words " small plane". More people probably know the name Piper Cub, but the Skyhawk's shape is far more familiar. Most people own a 172, as I have seen at my local airport. But in my opinion, the Cessna 172 is a nice plane to fly as in the flying I have done in it in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. I could be wrong, but from me it's a good plane for beginners.

Cruise Control won't work on 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo!?

I have had an issue with engaging cruise control on my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo ever since I purchased it from a used car dealer. My cruise control will not turn on at all. I have no other issues with the vehicle other than the inability to turn on the cruise control. I checked the vacuum line and there is no leaks, so that is not the issue. ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS? PLEASE HELP!

You may have a bad clockspring. The clockspring contains the wiring for all the steering wheel controls and the driver's airbag. It sits behind the steering wheel. If the wires break, you'll have problems with cruise control, the horn and the airbag.
