One of my favorite movies, I don't remember that scene though. I guess I watched it before I got my jeep. Now I'll have to re-watch it.

Yeah I remember being in the theater and I screamed "XJ!" people looked at me. LOL anyways, the movie did good justice to how tough they are.

i was about to post that

That kind of ruined the scene for me, because all i was thinking was "that is sooooo not the real sound of the engine!"

I think we all know a 4.0 when we hear one
