newVideoPlayer("ChicagoJeepTrail_Jalop.flv", 463, 271,""); With the vast amount of floor space at McCormick Place for the Chicago Auto Show, Chrysler decided to put some of it to good use by setting up their "Trail Rated" challenge. Wert, Wojdyla and I piled into a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and proceeded through the course, bashing our heads against the roll-bars. The Wrangler made quick work of the rocks, logs, and steep hills ramps . Wanting a bit more of a challenge, we asked if we could get a ride in a Compass (or even an 18-1 Patriot) on the trail... but we think they must not have heard us. Oh well. Hmm... wonder how those DUB Chryslers would fair?

newVideoPlayer("FlamingTireBurnout_gawker.flv", 475, 376); We've always been a believer that if you're gonna do it, you should do it right, child. Like with a smoky burnout. Don't even think of stopping your brake-mashing, accelerator-jamming burnout until you've dug a 14-inch wide and 6-inch deep crater in the pavement, your tires are nothing but a pile of tiny rubber pellets 20 feet behind you and the rear end of your jeep's a flaming wreck. Like this guy. We're telling you -- that's commitment. And that's why he's the Hoon of the Day .

newVideoPlayer("JeepLibertyOnOff_gawker.flv", 475, 376); When we first saw the new 2008 Jeep Liberty at a pre-New York Auto Show briefing session we can't help but feel very sad. One of us has been a proud owner of a Jeep Liberty and truly enjoys taking his little baby bug off the beaten path whenever possible. While we're not at all impugning the capabilities of this new small SUV all about lettin' freedom ring, we were a little bit disappointed that it in many ways looks like and feels like (the interior) a re-badged Dodge Nitro . Still, in this new commercial for Jeep , the boys n' girls at BBDO (we think they've still got the account -- who knows these days?) are trying to show off the off-road capabilities of "The New Small SUV" from "The New Chrysler" by watching as it can't seem to stay on the road. We know that feeling all too well. galleryPost('2008JeepLibertyPR', 8, '2008 Jeep Liberty');

newVideoPlayer("JeepRockClimb_gawker.flv", 475, 376); What happens when you're in a lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee and you take on a big rock a wee bit too fast? Hilariousness happens, that's what. Oh, and your airbags deploy. Also, you look really silly...
