2013 and Earlier - Jeep Wrangler Prices Paid and Buying Experience
u8everything Posts: 13In my research I found this over at ask yahoo. It doesn't deal with your soft top leaking question but offers a little insight into other aspects of the 07's. Hope it helps somebody here.
I have had a 97 and 2001 wrangler and have just purchased the 2007 2door X I have had it only a week and have only minor complaints. I don't know what the jeep engineers were thinking when they removed the fold and tumble seats. You must be really athletic and skinny to enter the back seat. This renders the jeep strictly as a 2 passenger vehicle only. Also Jeep states there is more interior room but I disagree; there used to be space under the back seat to store small items such as jumper cables(in the 2007 the rear bench seat sits on the floor); also the area in front of the seats is smaller(I have taken my floor mats from my 2001 and put them in the 2007 and they don't fit because they are too large).
This is the stupidest modification they added to the 2007 wrangler and shows how out of touch the jeep engineers are with people that use the soft-top. The rear window in previous jeeps used to snap into metal brackets at the top of the jeep frame; now they use removable plastic brackets???????! So every time you want to remove or add the rear window the plastic brackets pop off adding several annoying minutes to the task. The refitted window never fits the same after the 1st removal. I just don't understand the function for that modification. Nothing could justify the plastic brackets in my opinion.
Overall I am not overly impressed with the new modifications from the 2001 to the 2007. Nothing wows you however I do not off road that often. I like the subtle standard options such as abs, Electronic Stability Program, and the layout of the instrument panel and center console. -
mac24 Posts: 3,910Is an interrogation part of the whole scheme of things here or what? Why I posted is my business.............
Your first post here borders on rudeness and you're upset when you're challenged? :surprise:
I suggest you grow a thicker skin as I'll challenge you anytime you want to question my integrity. I'll state quite categorically, nobody pays me to make posts here (though maybe someone will offer me something not to post. )
I don't know what future values will be for the new Wrangler and neither does anyone else. For the future doesn't relinquish details like that. I owned a Corvette for 5 years and yes, they depreciate too, no matter what one might have heard.
It's generally understood all readily available vehicles will depreciate in the short term. It shouldn't really be necessary to explain each time that Wrangler's depreciation record is excellent in comparison to other vehicles.
Finally, I don't think anyone here claimed to predict the future, and I don't remember anyone claiming to have heard that Corvettes don't depreciate (I'm not sure why you brought that up?). There was nothing in your first post (or your second) that indicated a desire for research or information on pricing...........they were purely confrontational! -
mac24 Posts: 3,910......anyone have problems with the soft top leaking?
Yes, there have been isolated reports of leaks with both hard and soft tops on the '07 models, as there have been on previous models. However, at the moment, there is nothing to indicate a design issue, rather one of quality control or incorrect fitting. -
kyfdx Posts: 31,911One of the hosts will just let the rest of you take up those discussions where appropriate..
Of course, posts directed at other members aren't appropriate at any time...
Thanks for your continued participation and support.. And, mac24? I want my cut of that money from Jeep..

jeepfan69 Posts: 3Hi all, I ordered an 07 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited with auto and the hardtop 2 weeks ago. After going to a few dealerships in my area I finally found one that would participate in the affiliate rewards program that is available to me from my company. In the end I am paying 26,594.00 minus tax ++ for the car. My questions are the following:
1) I have a control number that was given to me by the dealership. I was told that I could check on status with this number, however the dealership had no idea how I could verify this information. Any help here?
2) I was also told that it would take 8-12 weeks for delivery. Is this normal? What has been the typical wait time for delivery?
3) Is there a point in time when the factory stops producing the '07 model and begins production on the '08?
Sorry for the rambling...seems like this will be the longest 2-3 month wait of my life. Hope it doesn't turn out to be 5-6 months!
Thanks for your help in advance. -
mac24 Posts: 3,910I think you'll be getting one of the very last '07s as the current lead time is 16-18 weeks and the first build of the '08s are supposed to be at the end of July/ beginning of August. The good news is that nothing is on hold or delay at the moment.
Try the contact link at Jeep.com to check on that control number. -
cali_dvr Posts: 18Looking at a 2006 Rubicon at my local dealership. 3200 miles with both tops. They are asking $28,999 for it!! :surprise:
It amazes me because the dealership has 3 2006 Rubicons total. Two of which the senior salesperson as he was referred to as said they were from the Jeep Jamboree. Now from a friend of mine that has a Jeep Jamboree Rubicon and knowing what he paid for it as an employee it KILLS me to think they are asking these prices.
Has anyone had any luck negotiating a price down from 28 to closer to what the dealership paid for it (I know they did not spend over 15 for it). Also the dealer was trying to say that technically they are still considered "new" cars. Is there a way to see what the dealership paid for them?
This dealership kills me because it is a "5 Star" dealership but is nothing short of rude and "high" pressure. -
mac24 Posts: 3,910The last build of any model, unless it was a particularly awful vehicle, isn't usually a firesale item. There will always be people that don't like the appearance or features of the replacement model and will actually pay a premium to get the last of the old ones.
The best time to get a great deal on an 'end of the line' is when the new model has been announced but before it actually appears in the dealerships. At that stage dealers usually have plenty of the old models left and demand is starting to die.
However, once they're down to the last two or three it's become a rare and valuable item! -
u8everything Posts: 13The yr-to-date sales stats on the Wrangler 07' from Auto News. Last week 1272 Wranglers were built. 6994 total for the month of March. 17012 total yr-to-date. A bit more confusing are the stats on the Wrangler Unlimited. Last week 1533 were built. 8430 for the month of March, and so far this year 26713 have been produced. Seems as if these numbers don't jibe however.
u8everything Posts: 13Ebay 07' Wrangler prices. Also one of the dealers stated the following: Any truth to this? Jeep also has a hold on all new rubicons due to the fact they cant get the drive train parts fast enough as they are selling faster then they can make them!
All are 2-doors 4WD 07' Wranglers.
New Rubicon, window $29,890, asking price $27,500.
Used Rubicon (3K miles), window $28,105 asking price $25,500.
New Sahara window $27,065, asking price $24,827
New Sahara window $25,980, asking $24,175
New Sahara window $28,280, asking $25,217 -

trin64 Posts: 2Hi, I'm looking to buy the sahara unlimited. I did read some reviews about unlimited owners having their engines cut out (turn off) on them while driving. Does anyone know anything about this? Any information would be appreciated. I want to know if I should wait for this to be fixed, or if it is just a random issue with some of them.
Thanks a lot!! -
jeepfan69 Posts: 3Hi mac,
I called DC and found out that the order is in BG - (order has passed edit but cannot be scheduled regardless of sold status).
When I called the dealer he "checked into it" and told me that it was in this status due to the Hard Top order that I placed. at which point he stated that if i got a soft top I should have no problem with delivery. I definitly want the HT but i am wondering if you have heard about any issues in the past with delivery being halted due to no hard tops being out there? Seems weird that DC would make such a huge mistake on ordering with the amount of volume that they are supposedly selling.
Thanks for your help.
Later -
mac24 Posts: 3,910As of this morning nothing has changed since last time; 16-18 weeks, no holds. However Wranglers, like most vehicles, are usually built in batches with similar options, and DC works with suppliers on a 'just in time' basis, so it's quite possible that your order is waiting for the next batch with your particular options.
A 16-18 week lead time when the usual wait is 4-6 weeks indicates that they're flooded with orders and working like crazy. -
jimlw2 Posts: 122I'm one of those silly folk that chased the few remaining 2006 models as mac24 insightfully stated in his reply. If you're still interested in pricing, here's the dealer invoice sheet I received while working with Akins Ford Jeep in Winder, GA. Really easy transaction via phone...didn't get the lowest price because they obviously knew I was interested or I wouldn't have been calling them from Michigan. I'm not disappointed at all paying $600 over invoice because I really wanted it and was just happy it was just as they stated..."New." I had already been told that by other dealers only to find it had already been titled to dealership owners who used them on weekends or other various stories of why they said it was "new" but not really. Also, had a few shots at used "Rubicons" only to find they were not "Rubicons" but non-Rubicon Unlimited models with "Rubicon" decals on their hoods. Had to argue with a few used car dealers trying to convince them their vehicles were not "real" Rubicons and they're trying to sell them at used Rubicon prices. Also looked over a few private sale ones where I wasn't too happy with their after-market installations. So, I feel rather "lucky" to have been able to still get a true, new 2006 in the solar yellow I had wanted to find.

giantsin06 Posts: 63You're not so silly: Getting what you wanted is a success.And I bet it's much easier to get into your back seat than it is on my 07 Rubicon. That situation is a disgrace to the engineers .
We had a 2001 Solar yellow Wrangler Sport . Watch out....that color is a cop-magnet .
Congratulations. Enjoy the hell out of your JEEP. -
jeepfan69 Posts: 3Mac,
Found out from annother site that the last day to plave an order for the rescue green was 3-15 (or somewhere around then. Coupled with the issue with the Hard Top manufactuer looks like I wont get the car I ordered.
The dealer just called me and said that there is no chance that I will get the car that ordered. Bummer will ahve to wait for the 08 model year.
Thanks for dealing with me and I appreciate your input.
See you in a few months...hopefully I will be posting info about my mods!
:shades: -
jimlw2 Posts: 122The solar yellow sure does stand out and it crossed my mind a few times driving it back to Michigan from Georgia as I passed each state's finest...at posted speeds of course :blush:
Nice to hear your positive remarks as well as Mac24's...I should now admit that I already own an '05 Wrangler Unlimited (non-Rubicon auto trans). I just had to have one more "new" "old style" in the Rubicon package with stick. I just love my TJ (LJ to be precise from what I've read). I think I now realize what CJ and YJ folks must have felt about the arrival of TJ/LJs...you just love the one you have so much that you hate to see it no longer manufacturered. I'd like to say I may even own a JK as well after it's worked through any "growing pains"(in addition...not instead of my TJ/LJs). Clearly my wife must love Jeeps, too, since she actually let me get away with owning two Wranglers...she loves her Liberty...I'm well beyond being "biten" by the Jeep Bug...I'm well on my way to being diagnosed with Jeep-mania! -

mac24 Posts: 3,910Is it reasonable to think i can get the sahara above for $23,000?
Doesn't sound unreasonable to me but a dealer may think otherwise.
Seriously, it dependes entirely on the business model of the dealer. Does he sell everything for sticker after two or three days on the lot, or does he maybe need one more sale before the end of the month to get into the level of discount.
Shopping to buy will get you the best price, shopping for figures won't.

Inside The National Cougar Convention
By Chris Yeh
"I had a male friend over recently," said Cindy. "He's 56. He was sitting in my living room on a Sunday afternoon, reading the paper, and watching golf. Golf! He looked at me and said, 'It doesn't get any better than this.'" A disgusted look crossed her face.
Karen, a friendly redhead, said she was just curious. "I've never dated a younger man before. Well, when I was a senior in college, I dated a sophomore," she said with a sheepish smile.
Maxi, an ordained minister and prowling cougar, laid it out for me:
"A cougar is not a slut," she said. "A real cougar is an independent woman who isn't looking for a man to marry and settle down. She introduces her cub to new possibilities and experiences. It's almost a spiritual relationship." Spiritual Sex: 10 Erotic Commandments
Attractive, mature women like Maxi, Karen, Cindy, and Cynthia clearly wanted and deserved more out of life than sitting around on the sofa watching golf. If they choose to find more suitable companionship with willing younger men, why not?
"Geeks make the best cubs," Maxi added enthusiastically. "They take direction well, and they don't realize that you're supposed take a break between orgasms. Makes for a lot of fun," she said, smiling. Why Geeks Are The New Chic
As the evening wore on, the atmosphere grew increasingly festive. By the time I hit the road, there were couples filling the dance floor—albeit surrounded by a constant cloud of photographers. Then again, if a decade of reality TV has proven anything, it's that many Americans have no problem ignoring the cameras and focusing on getting laid.
The media angle on cougardom seems to be firmly of the salacious, mirthful nature. But perhaps the sign of a true cougar is that she doesn't much care what reporters, married or otherwise, think of her lifestyle.
As for me, I returned home to my wife and kids feeling relieved—and a little wistful for what might have been were I ten years younger. Coco Chanel once said, "A woman has the age she deserves." With the rise of the cougar, she may have spoken truer than she knew.

Finally, just in time for Halloween, I finished the Elizabethan Gown.
The gown itself was made of a suiting fabric that looked and felt like a lightweight wool. It had a very full skirt (with boxed and hanging pleats) and an 8ft train. It was boned and laced closed at the front and the lacing covered with a plastron which hooked across the front and featured a beaded "necklace" detailing.
It was a race at the end to get it all done in time but so utterly worth it on the night.
This was one of the most interesting, frustrating and ultimately rewarding projects I have made and to wear it feels amazing, I can see how people get hooked on Tudor costuming!
The whole project can be seen at http://makesmemine.blogspot.co.uk/p/elizabethan-costume.html

Engaged & Terrified: What Your Fear Is All About
By Sheryl Paul
Similarly, many people carry a rescue fantasy that says, "When I meet the right person, I will be so happy and alive that I'll be lifted out of my anxiety and misery." I've written extensively about this misguided belief — and devoted Lesson 7 of the E-Course to it — because it's so fundamental to so many people's belief systems, and is a primary reason why they leave perfectly good relationships. Put differently, the belief is that someone else would make you happier. Engaged & Thinking About Your Ex?
I'll say this clearly and bluntly: holding on to this belief prevents you from taking full responsibility for your pain and joy. Again, it ascribes the terror onto your partner instead of recognizing that this terror is old, it's yours, it has nothing to do with your partner, and you'd be feeling it no matter who you married.
If you're going to work through the terror, you must recognize that it has nothing to do with your partner. It's not his fault, it's not here because you're with the wrong person, and it won't go away if you walk away from the relationship. Ask yourself honestly: how long have you struggled with anxiety? If you're like most of my clients, you've struggled with it for years. Living With The 'Grass Is Always Greener' Syndrome?
Anxiety is a gift. It's an opportunity to address deep-seated belief systems that are no longer serving you and an invitation to learn how to connect with a source of higher guidance. The fear says, "Run!" or "Love isn't safe" or "He'll leave me" or "She'll smother me." Something wise in you is saying, "Deal with me now! You're finally with someone safe and loving who's not going to run away from your anxiety. Within this safe space, you can fall apart and learn how to put yourself back together again in a healthy way." That something might just be called love. Which voice will you listen to?

Franchises who do the math just add one.
By Elaine W. Teague
Adding a new business to your existing site may be easier than you think. As dual-concept franchising continues to flourish across the country, business owners are inventing winning business combinations and putting them under the same roof or side by side.
Pizzas of Eight, a business opportunity based in St. Louis, offers its flexible pizza program to a variety of businesses, including bowling centers, convenience stores, amusement centers and, recently, hotels. "It helps to create a profit center and also generates interest and additional foot traffic for the core business," says Abe Smith of Pizzas of Eight.
Over the past year, Houston-area World Gym Family Fitness Center franchisees Dan and Sherry Granader have established Smoothie King franchises near two of their fitness centers--and one inside their gym. "Smoothie King is a simple operation [to add on]," says Sherry.
It's not really a hard sell, either. Picture this: You're finishing your fitness workout, and you spot the inviting juice bar business across the gym, just beyond the glass wall. You watch as another customer downs a thirst-quenching fruit smoothie. As your workout ends, you know your next move.
On the flip side, Smoothie King customers can easily glance into the glass-enclosed gym. With free workout passes at the juice bar's cash registers, a tour of the fitness center can result in a new World Gym membership.
"It's been a win-win situation," says Sherry. To join the sizzle, put on your matchmaking hat and determine the right business combination for you.

Vertannes looks back over 44 years in air cargo
Des Vertannes, with his retirement as IATA's head of cargo this month, brings to a close a 44-year career in air cargo. He has become known as a passionate airfreight ambassador and an ardent catalyst for the movement toward a paperless industry.
Vertannes began his career with British Airways in 1970, holding several management positions across 14 years. In 1984, he established his own forwarding business before joining Air Canada as general manager, cargo, in 1991. He subsequently was chief executive with Air Menzies International, was managing director at Menzies World Cargo and was head of cargo at Gulf Air and Etihad. He joined IATA four years ago.
As he looks back over 44 years in the business, it's no surprise that the personable Vertannes says what he will miss most is the people of air cargo.
"Certainly, the people I have worked with at the six companies I have worked for have been an influential part of my life," Vertannes says. "I've been fortunate to have been able to work in different parts of the world and make contributions within the industry."
Vertannes embraced innovation throughout his career and in recent years became perhaps the industry's biggest catalyst for going paperless. He says it's a bigger challenge than most people think, but he's convinced the industry will get there in a few years.
"I have always felt very passionate about the industry and its need to serve its principal customers," Vertannes says. "My view is that the need to innovate and evolve has always been there. I think when I look at the paperless aspirations, it's one small component of the need for the industry to redefine its value proposition. I am extremely motivated by the fact it needs to achieve the goal. A lot of people do not understand why it has taken so long to get here. The sheer complexity of the paperless aspiration with the architecture and infrastructure the industry has in place today – I would love to see it escalated and accelerated. I believe we will see that in the months and years ahead."
Looking into his crystal ball, Vertannes believes there will be much more interaction along the industry's chain with airlines, forwarders, GSSAs and handlers working in partnership, as they never have before. He also believes his proposal to peel 48 hours off transit times is achievable as the industry embraces more cohesive data transfer procedures.
The industry's myriad challenges notwithstanding, Vertannes sees a bright future.
"I have always been an optimist, a natural optimist about the industry. I really believe that given how I see world trade and the need for extended world trade with a growing population, particularly the growing population within what I call the megacities of this world and an increasing urban population. I believe air cargo will have a very prosperous future. You cannot sustain life in the big urban cities without very good air cargo service. I also believe airports will wake up to importance of air cargo and we will see far greater investments in facilities in the decades to come."
Is there a chance of Vertannes returning to cargo down the road? Not in the near future, he says.
"I made a promise to the family that I will dedicate quite a bit of time to Gloria and the children, and the expanding number of grandchildren coming my way. We had No. 6 in April and No. 7 is due in August. I would like to spend some quality time with my family. Who knows what the future brings. My immediate plans are to take a complete break."
Tributes from colleagues
Des will be sorely missed by all those who shared paths with him throughout his illustrious career within the air cargo industry. While I did not have the privilege of working with him during his tenure at Air Canada Cargo, where he held the position of General Manager Cargo-Europe from 1995-1999, I still hear very positive comments from those he did lead at the time. Des' wonderful leadership and deep understanding of our industry served to teach us and to lead us down the straight road. Always a good listener, solution-oriented and forever the perfect diplomat, he reassured and inspired us all. We will miss his gentle turn of phrase and good humor. I wish Des the very best for this well deserved retirement. Over to us now to pursue the direction, which he has so clearly articulated for our industry.

I purchased a home recently in town where I live. I plan to use the home as a rental. The neighbors who lived on both sides of the home told me that the gentleman who had lived there prior to dying was an antique collector in his spare time. It's horrific how his family left all his things in this home and left this home in disaster over the past few years. After removing the roof in the rear of the home they left and according to the neighbors put up a tarp and never returned. Naturally the roof leaked and destroyed tons inside the home. I am going through pieces finding whole pieces and will be putting a few up here as i find salvageable pieces. I'm not an antiques person and have no real knowledge of them. I could use some help. I dont want to throw something away that may be rare or have value. Here is a pic of a crock i found in the home. |

Looks like a kim-chi crock ... or other oriental picked vegetable crock. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YG3pt8oyt8g/TrSNt6PXEcI/AAAAAAAAF8U/Lyt7-dWaxUo/s1600/Adam+Field+onggi.jpg |
It definitely looks very similar you are right. Mine looks more basic on the rim. Do you have any idea of the age range? |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Mon, Jul 8, 13 at 23:43
The design has not changed in centuries ... it could be new or ancient. |
You might see metric markings on newer European crockery, but imagine if you have crocks with any age on them at all, they won't be. England is still sorting out the metric/imperial measures and often display in both on signage still today. So for old items, I'm not so sure you can make that statement. |
there are no markings on it that i can percieve as being a number either liters or gallons. It looks to be around a 2 gallon i would guess. |
I understand that there are no markings on the crock, there are no markings on any of my redware, I'm not talking about markings. If you measure out 3 gallons of water and it perfectly fills up your crock then you have a 3 gallon crock. If it is an Asian crock it will have a different volume. Could I ask erlybrd to tell us is the bottom unglazed? If so, what color is it? |
yes it's red much like a brick or flower pot. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Wed, Jul 10, 13 at 16:34
Look at the shape of the redware and the shape of the crock in question ... they are not similar. Red clay body pottery can be found all over the world - it's not all "redware" from America. A kim-chi crock can be anywhere from tiny for a special batch to big enough to pickle an entire cabbage field's harvest. It might accidentally be a measure we use, or it might not. Unless you can find documented American redware of that shape, with the matching cover, it's best to call it what it most resembles: an Oriental pickling crock of unknown age. |
It very well may be what lazy is saying. I may even be looking at it totally wrong. Notice my lid. It's unfinished on top. However it is finished on the other side. If i put the lid down first like a plate under a flowerpot the entire piece is finished appearence wise. Maybe what i thought was the lid isnt even the lid. Is that possible? |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Thu, Jul 11, 13 at 10:01
This picture was taken in the courtyard of a restaurant when I was in Korea. Their current stock of kimchee is in the pots, and the upside down one has been emptied and washed. (the supplier will take away the empties and drop off the replacements ... it's like an old-style dairy route, but with pickled cabbage) Notice the strong similarity of the pots to yours, and the saucer-like lids with a rough unglazed side facing upward. The side facing the veggies, and the inside of the crock, is glazed to make cleaning the crocks easier. |

It's possible, but then, I had some that looked like those shrivel up and die with the bloom all the same... So far, one seed pod was the max I could get to mature per plant. I had about ten take on my little Hopi, but then none of them made it. Next time I will try and select just one or two to leave on and see if that produces a stronger pod. Try and remember not to prune them off, and removing the petals may make them look tidier, but I tore several apart that way... Do you not remove the pollen sacs of the seed parent blossom? I read that is supposed to make accidental self-crossings less likely, unless you squish them in the process and spill the pollen all over ;-) Karin |
i have never tried this with AVs before - but since i am simply crossing the plant with itself - not too worried about the pollen sacs rihgt now. I will have to remember that if i manage to get another AV in bloom at the same time. |
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 11, 14 at 23:47
To avoid accidentally removing pods when grooming, tie a bit of yarn or string around the pedicel. I use the yarn I use for wicking. You can also note the cross on a small piece of paper and thread the yarn through it. It makes it easy to remember what plants you used for the cross. Seed production is a great energy drain so most growers will only have one pod per plant and will not allow the plant to flower while the pod is growing. That is probably why your Hopi had trouble with pods. As far as self-crossing goes, the pollen sacs are removed before pollinating to make sure the flower does not accidentally self-pollinate. However, once a flower has been successfully pollinated it cannot receive pollen from another source. Linda |
I use removing the pollen sacs as indicator which blossom it was that I pollinated.... Then I (should) go back and label it properly.... Seen as I haven't got named varieties blooming yet, I kind of haven't taken it too seriously. Now that I have seeds sprouting though, I am considering the whole effort may be useless if I don't know who, what, when etc... So a proper system for keeping records is high on my priority list. Right below keeping my plants alive long enough to see them bloom again. It is a learning process, and I am glad I did a few "test runs". Now I can play with my "hybrids" without worrying about losing any. Karin |
lol - yep this is simply a noid from home depot -so nothing overly noteworthy about it, except i do like the flowers a lot, haven't seen too many around here with the different colors, they are usually the solid colors. something I was wondering if Avs will cross with gloxinias....i do have one of those also blooming. |
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 12, 14 at 1:25
Merk, Violets will not cross with Gloxinias-same genus, different species. Gloxinias have been reclassified by the botanists. It is now properly called 'Sinningia speciosa' although I am sure we'll all keep calling it Gloxinia. Linda |
Their common name is still Florist Gloxinia. |
yep i was reading up on them a bit as well, since i didn't understand what i was doing wrong with mine. now i know...I am also hoping for a seed pod there too - we will see. |

Mont-Saint-Michel, France -- Yesterday, we drove the Scorpio down to Brittany from Ardres, at the Pas de Calais. Our friends have returned to the States, after one final raucous party at the St. James Club, in London. There's a hotel in Ardres called the Clément, just twenty minutes from the Calais ferry and hoverport. We love it. We cross the channel on the Hovercraft, nip up to the Clément, enjoy our first French dinner and a good night's sleep, then drive on to our continental destination. The guys at Car magazine informed us of this gem ten years ago, and we've used it ever since.
Our Brittany hotel, the Château de la Motte Beaumanoir, is in the middle of nowhere in the Breton countryside. Madame la maîtresse looks a lot like Simone Signoret at the wrong end of her career, and likes to bitch about Americans. I am tempted to point out that if it wasn't for Americans, she and her neighbors would be speaking German. The old chateau, complete with moat, is lovely, but when the lady of the house tells us on our after-dark arrival that she could fix us some eggs but she'd rather not, I am ready for the Holiday Inn.
Today we drove from Dinan to Dinard to Saint-Malo to Mont-Saint-Michel. We loved Dinard, which is a charming resort town with several hotels where I'd rather be staying, and we ate traditional Breton crepes for lunch in Saint-Malo. Now we're watching the sunset from the highest battlements at Mont-Saint-Michel. Just a few minutes ago, we looked up to see two hawks locked in combat high above us. Screaming like the Furies, they'd scramble for altitude, each trying to get the advantage of the other. Then they'd roll into steep dives, ultimately colliding at a combined speed in excess of a hundred miles per hour. Why they didn't smash bones I'll never know. After three or four such midair collisions, the interloper headed for the mainland, while the champion--who apparently lived among the towers and rooftops of the old castle/abbey/fortress/prison/town--came back to the home roost, obviously pleased with himself.
Pointe du Hoc, Normandy -- This is the one D-day landing site I've never before visited--where the Rangers landed on June 6, 1944, scaled the cliffs in the face of ferocious German resistance, and became the first Allied unit to achieve its objective. Two days later, when they were relieved after a series of determined counterattacks, ninety of the original 225 guys were still on their feet. The place has been left as it was. Busted concrete, unfilled shell holes, barbed wire, everything much as it was when the Rangers moved out. Nothing at Normandy is more moving than the Omaha Beach cemetery, but Pointe du Hoc is a stirring memorial in its own right.
The Scorpio has done yeoman service for two weeks. It has been fast, sure-footed, and comfortable over all kinds of roads in some truly frightful rainstorms. But today, on the way down from Saint-Lô to Pointe du Hoc, I lost an argument concerning the right of way with an oncoming French eighteen-wheeler and he busted our left-hand mirror. I caught considerable hell from the female passengers, and I'm mortified. If I'd been driving a left-hand-drive car it wouldn't have happened, but the Scorpio had been so good for a long that I'd begun to believe that it and I could do anything, and I turned out to be wrong by about three-quarters of an inch.
Fuel is expensive in France. We ran four vehicles--including the Scorpio--in Britain for a week, and our fuel cost a total of $259.70. A week's French fuel--four tanksful--for the Scorpio alone cost $169.42.

Trying to figure out when I joined. About June last year.
We went to Big 5, I bought the most rediculous cheap racquets, thought we could hit some balls. My son had no sport. Even though he's like me in almost every way he had no sport.
So with these cheap racquets, we hit, and of course he hit it out, net, no clue.
I wanted to serve, FIRST JUMP I torn my plantaris muscle.
Thing is he LOVED IT. We didn't just play once in awhile, but he wanted to play all the time, so I obliged.
I taught him what I knew, serve and volley, flat shots. Nothing magical with him, no prodigy here, but he had one shot, still does, it looks like a full swing, but it stops and flattens out barely over the net, no man can get it, that was cool.
After the Summer, they had a Tennis Team try outs, not really try outs, they accept everyone. Yet there were 25 kids to my surprise, Mick BARELY made varsity in 6th grade, JH is now 6th-8th.
He played doubles, first game was CLOSE, then after that they lost like crazy. Coach was horrible, couldn't figure out basic things we see online or that I know.
But Mick finally managed to play singles, out of two players. Yet he lost, bad.
Next was USTA, got him ready, got creamed, well basically 6-3, 6-3. He was sad but I explained he must lose to learn how to win.

It was morning before we got up. And yes I did get up a few times to look at my daughters. That was the first time that I noticed that Loretta did it too, with her daughters, my lovers, as well as with her grandchildren. We were a good fit we were all a good fit.
At breakfast we were all happy, all seven of us, well eight if you counted Sandy and my baby. We had become lovers, real lovers, and we loved everything about each other. We took the kids to the zoo; ok we took ourselves to the zoo, the babies were too young to notice anything except that they could feel their mothers were happy. By now they would drink from either mother when hungry, they called them all "mama", and I was "dada".
There was now a certain freedom and openness between us all and there was the envy thing I loved so much. I was the envy of every man around. I could see it in their eyes, they knew I had four of the most fantastic women in the world with me and they loved me and I loved them. And then there was my babies, ok our babies, and the love we all shared through them.
Seventy virgins hell, give me four X-hookers any time. From that time on it was all the women who decided who I slept with, but there were always at least one in bed with me. And when it was their periods, they had them all at once, they still slept with me.
Then Loretta who was sleeping with me during her period began what I would come to discover as their attempts to see how far I would go with them. I thought they would be open with me but apparently they thought they were doing something so bad I would not love them for doing it. They were wrong. My fear was they would not love me for my perversion.
Loretta wanted to know if I thought it was horrible to make love to her during her period. We all ready did anal during that time but she wanted to know about bleeding bothering me. I made sure she got the message loud and clear, I took her right then and kept on. During that cycle I had all my lovers and they had taken a step to see how far I would go with them. We made love when they had periods and every hole was available and I mated with them all. It was just as important that they wanted me to be with them as it was that I was with them.
Then there was the day that would determine if there was going to be the trust that all of them needed. It was the call. It came just four months after Sandy gave birth to Elaine. It was about two and a half years that we were living together.
He kissed his women good-by and told them that after six months they would be notified same as he always said. This time it would be nine months before he returned.
We watched him go, this time there was foreboding between us all. Calvin was everything to all of us and we talked about him every day. The babies slept with his unwashed sheets cut up so that each of them would have his scent around them as they slept. We did not wash his used shirts so we could wear them and smell his presence. The first few months were the hardest, when the sixth month came around, we were devastated, the promised message appeared on the TV's that were connected to the computer system.
The man came and talked to us, it was not as bad as it could be, but it was bad. They did not know if Cal was alive, the negotiations had taken a bad turn.
After nine months I finally came back to a full house. They were all over me and even the baby, my Elaine even seemed to recognize me and called me "dada." They had showed the baby movies of me and always called me "dada" and had her smell my clothes to keep the scent memory alive. When she smelled me the word "dada" just naturally came out. Everyone was around hugging and kissing and crying a little too. My Lynn and Amber were there with us, crying happy tears, just like there mothers.
It had been a very tough negotiation; actually I was in a prison camp for more than six months until I escaped. I knew they could have come and gotten me but that would have been a bad idea. I knew I had something to come home too.
Did you get the instructions I left and is everything "alright?" I asked. Tina left and then came back with a large envelope, still unopened. It was everything I had signed over to them, but it was unopened.
Cal we did not follow your instructions. We all agreed not to open this, it would have meant that we thought you were not going to come back and we could not live with that. Take it back, and let's just plan on never having to open this.
Now that was trust, and that was love. They knew everything was in that envelope, every cent I had was signed over to them and our children. Again I had given them everything and they gave it back telling me by their acts, not just their words, and that it was a package deal and I was part of the package.
We had all taken a step into the abyss together and it was not as dark or deep as we thought. Four women who had spent their lives being used took a chance on me and they found love. I took a chance on them and found love and peace of mind, my nightmares were fading too when I was back with them.
The next year we were all at a neighborhood party, we went to a few of them, but not many. It was part of my lovers trying to expand my options, they called it life. Two things happened.
First Tina had been talking to a female neighbor and her husband and she came back and told the group we were in that the woman had said her husband had the biggest cock she had ever had and that Tina should give it a ride. Tina needed to sow some wild oats while she was still young. A few of the group asked Tina to point out who she was talking about and she pointed out the woman and her husband. Tina was still giggling when two of the people with us broke away and headed for the couple Tina identified.
Tina was rolling with laughter. One of the group said that the man and woman who were talking to Tina were not married to each other, but to the people who went over to them. Tina was still laughing when she said 'I know."
Some people just don't get it. They thought the fact that Tina, Sandy and Helen were in various stages of pregnancy and were of mixed race they were sluts, they weren't. They were my women.
One of the men with us said 'You have three women pregnant at one time?" "Sure do" I beamed. I was going to be a daddy again and I loved every minute of it.
That is when Loretta spoke up and said I was wrong, I did not get three women pregnant. The men were about to laugh at me until Loretta held up something in a small zip lock baggie; it was a plastic thing and it was blue. "You have four women pregnant at the same time lover."
The next nine months were going to be very interesting and so would the next few years. We would have babies everywhere. I was in heaven. While it was four that time, in the next few years there was not a time when at least one of my lovers was not pregnant and two was not unusual. We were breeders we loved our kids and we made a home for them.
Some people want a lot of children and some don't. Some want to "be themselves" or not "lose their identity" in children or being married. That is fine for them, just not for us. It gets back to choices and my lovers and I had made the choices we wanted to make. Part of the choice was based on pure luck, because we found each other, that is the luck part. Then we took a chance on each other and then the wild cards hit, Lynn and Amber. Who the hell knew I would fall in love with them first. Who would have thought that new life would have such an effect on me? That was part of luck.
In the next years Loretta gave me three more girls, even though I told her not to after the first one. She gave me that little girl pout and accused me of not loving her. I spent the next half hour telling her how much I loved her until I saw her laugh and knew I had been had. She would have three in all, and I would be there when they were born.
My other girls gave me three babies again, and I was there for all three like I had been for my first ones, Amber and Lynn. We had so many babies around that they were going to make us get a day care license. With so many women around lactating there was never a problem with feeding, all of the kids fed from what ever tit was available. Ok I got a few tastes too.
But I was concerned and I wanted not only the children to think of themselves as part of a family but as individuals too, so I came up with a few ideas to keep things fresh, if that is possible.
I decided that we needed some alone time so I set up date night and I took Sandy first. It was a nice restaurant and I had on a coat and a tie and Sandy had on a very nice dress. But we had to agree that there was something wrong, it was not working out. We could be alone together at home but in the off world this was not right. Sandy told me to go home and she was going to stay. I had long learned to trust my lovers so home I went. When I got there I was greeted by Loretta dress up to go out and she had Amber and Lynn with her, also dressed up. Back at the restaurant Sandy had moved on and she was now sitting at a table for five waiting for the rest of us.
Some people think they have to maintain some separate identity but we don't think that way. It did not feel right being out without some of our family and so we did date night, but we had at least three of us and maybe a few kids too. Amber and Lynn, being the oldest, felt grown up being out on date night with her moms and dad.
Eventually Amber and Lynn would find out about their sperm donor but by then it did not matter, they had to know for medical reasons, but for now they were our children and even after they learned the facts, they would still be our children, no different than our other children, their sisters.
After date night we would go home and spend the night together; not the children, the moms. Yes it was both of them with me. This was a first, but not a last. We all loved each other. I had two women to please and two ways to do it. This was not new to them either, that was another one of their secrets, but again they were not being paid for it and it was not forced, again it was love, or I thought it was. They said it was and I believed them. From that time on it was not unusual to have two of my lovers with me at one time. It was not the rule but it was not unusual either. Again I let them make that decision and they kept it equal between them. Did I care if there were times they were just with each other, of course not. We did love each other and it kept us fresh, the combinations were guaranteed to keep us satisfied and excited. I could understand there own passions with each other, for years that was all the love they actually had.
I made love to two women at a time on date night. It was slow, loving and burning. There were times that my lovers and I fucked, and hard too, but loving was what we did most. And the sex was magnificent, they did it all with and for me and I would do the same with and for them. There was never any doubt that they knew a lot about sex and enjoyed it, so there was no "what will he think of me if I do this?" crap between us. As I said before, two at a time was not unusual, but all of us liked one on one, I just made sure to let them decide which and when.
They told me they intended to keep me not just satisfied but so content that I would never look at another woman, as if I ever would. The rule was always there, what we had we had and we did not share, except among ourselves.
The mom's thing was surprising too. All of our girls called all four of my lovers "mommy." They feed at the same breasts and were changed by the same person, usually me if I was home. I loved to do it, even in the middle of the night. So off to school one day with the girls in tow and they asked for Mrs. Pierce and Loretta, Tina, Sandy and Helen answered "Yes." That got them going.
So they asked who was Ruth's mother and they all said they were. So they asked 4 year old Ruth to go touch her mommy. Ruth smiled and walking over to Loretta touched her, then walked to Tina, Sandy and Helen and did the same with all of them. Ruthie was so proud of herself. We were all proud of her too.
And yes all of my lovers were named Pierce now, as are all our children. We did a legal name change because I could not bring myself to marry just one of them but I wanted them to have the same name as our children.
Our life is not for everyone. The women in my life had a hard time before me and so did I before them. I am not just a meal ticket with benefits and they don't stay because they are grateful. They stay because we love each other.
They were not the only ones going to school, my lovers needed to go too. Yes they are hot and yes they got hit on but you know I can't spend my life worrying about that, I let them handle that. Helen did have a funny way of getting the point across to some guy who did not understand – she had Sandy or Tina show up with 8 or 9 little girls that would run up to her yelling "mommy mommy" and coupled with a "no" when asked out that would usually end it.
There was only one time I had to get involved because someone was playing too hard and did not understand "No." I politely and quietly asked him if he ever saw that Bruce Willis movie where the kid says 'I see dead people" and he said he had. I smiled, leaned into his ear, and told him I see dead people too, he looked funny when I said that, then I whispered that they were all alive when I first saw them. Then he looked down and saw a SW 45 caliber 5 shot chief sticking in his stomach and decided he did not actually want my lover. We smiled and waived as he ran to his car. Yes I understood the off world and I protect what is mine.
Then I got the call from the "office" and it came over the TV instead of the secure phone. As usual I was asked if it was a secure line. I again said no, but then Loretta said it was and gave a number as did each of my lovers, Tina, Sandy and Helen. I was surprised but they always surprised me. I was told that I would be on a "leave" for two years, nothing more than one week and nothing from when Tina, she was due first, had our baby until Loretta had hers, and for six months thereafter. Something about a family leave act. After that he said it would never be for more than a week. Then he laughed and said I would be begging for another prison camp by the end of two years.
When the call ended I had to ask, "How did you get a security number?" "We are in the system daddy" Helen said.
They put us in when you were away for all that time. They had been watching us and when we refused to open the envelope they came to us. They told us what was in it, how much money was in it, that we could live the rest of our lives in luxury all we had to do was open the envelope, file the documents, and take the money. It would all be ours. The house, the cars, the stocks and bonds, the foreign accounts, we would have it all. And men we could have any man we wanted, we were young and beautiful and there was no doubt we could please any man we wanted. We told him the only man we wanted was you and he laughed and said it was spoken like true lying whores.
I felt sorry for the man baby, because we beat the hell out of him before the others came in and pulled us off of him. We told him to take his envelope and get the fuck out. He left but the envelope stayed. We never touched it, it stayed where he left it, and we even cleaned around it. We only touched it when you got home and we handed it to you.
It was just before you came home that he showed up again and gave us our clearance numbers. So now you know why we have them but we have a question for you.
"Why would an ID card from the Department of Commerce for the Contract Negotiation Division have you authorized to carry deadly weapons?" Well shit, Loretta must have looked at the back when I showed them the card a few years back. I did not respond.
Then they gave me a little slide show.
Over the years Loretta had gotten pretty good with the internet and would search all the sites for news during the times I was away on negotiations. She found lots of pictures of long gone third world dictators where they had been deposed and disappeared. Lots of the pictures had people in the background as part of American and other countries negotiating teams, bidding on raw materials and resources. She even had stories about how negotiations were going and how some new leader would suddenly accept American assistance in exchange for raw materials, after the old leader was deposed. In most of the cases I was in the pictures. Sometimes I was in a suit and tie, sometimes in less formal wear.
"Why are you there all the time and in in the pictures. Why is that daddy?"
I just smiled at the mothers of my children. I used a program that the government gave me and permanently deleted the folder that all of the material was in and I mean permanently deleted it. Not a scrap of data was left.
"I'm sure I don't know; I understand that there are a lot of people that look like me, I am nothing special. As for bad people dying, maybe someone wants the off world to be the kind of place that our world is for us."
The issue never came up again.
Would our life last forever? Life has no guarantees. We stopped making babies when I reached 45, and that gave me 20 plus years to raise the last ones. It also gave my lovers time to decide if they wanted to stay with me or move on. I was betting on them staying, but again there were no guarantees. It appears that moving on is not on our agenda. No matter what happens I will love them for the rest of my life. They are my life but they know I don't share so if they need to move on, they can.
I will always love our children just as much as I love their mothers. I stepped into the abyss and I am glad I did, I hope my women are still happy now and in the future, but like the sleeping arrangements, I am there for them, and I let them decide.
Now there is always laughter in my world and for that I am eternally grateful.
