Random picture thread

The 8HP isn't technically a "Chrysler" transmission (it's a "universal" ZF unit, used in Mopars, Mercedes', Rolls Royce, Jag...), but it has been pretty solid in my Grand Cherokee behind the Ecodiesel. My only complaint about it - and I'm not the only one, judging from customer concerns when I was in a Mopar service lane - is Ma Mopar's shitty software set for the trans (at least, in the WK2 platform). It HATES "california stops". It wants you to stop, and count to four. If you don't...it simply doesn't pick a gear. You get halfway through the intersection, that truck is about to slam into you...and THEN it will slam into a gear and go. Umpteen software updates later, and it still does it. Either the adaptive curve is goofy, or something in the fuel economy programming makes it stupid in situations like this.

That whole "fill for life" thing still freaks me out, though....
Although the ZF 8 speed can be called 'universal', in fact Chrysler builds their own at the Tipton and Komomo plants and is licensed to not only produce them but to engineer and modify the design as needed for company demands. Improvements that Chrysler engineers come up with are fed back to ZF to be incorporated in the main design if deemed advantageous.

Chrysler built ZF transmissions are also used by BMW, Audi, Bentley and Rolls Royce.

Do you mega-picture poster guys actually HAVE a classic car? If so, why not post about it?
I haven't seen you guys do anything but bomb this thread with pages of forgettable pictures.
Shouldn't this thread be about images that are unusual, rare, special and majestic? Pictures of some motorcycle, a car at a dealership, cats or quotes found on the internet are nothing rare or special.
There is a meme thread for memes.
There is the Blue forum for the pictures of women.
Above all that, I'll repeat.....Do you guys have a classic car?

I'm done, I never went after posts, take me back to zero. It's about talking, sharing, and just getting together. What he thinks means nothing to me and there have been many times I have personally thought, what is he talking about on many subjects and have said little about it.
