Chapter 42: Tough Guy and Form 2
Jeep can be said to be the earliest off-road vehicle that Chinese people came into contact with, so much so that for a while, Jeep was synonymous with off-road vehicles.
This kind of four-wheel drive car by the American Chrysler Jeep, due to its stable performance, strong power, adaptability, the key is particularly leather and durable, not only in the civilian field is quite famous, but also widely used in the military field, in World War II, the jeep almost became a special car for generals.
Su Ming's generation has watched many movies about World War II, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation since childhood.
Next to the marching procession covered with yellow sand, an army-green jeep galloped over, behind which sat two soldiers carrying carbines, and the general in the co-pilot wore sunglasses and sipped a cigar, which is simply the most classic picture.
The Jeep Wrangler in front of him is square and hard, full of tough guy atmosphere.
The original model of the Wrangler is the kind of jeep that the Yankees often sit in World War II, after decades of continuous upgrading, the space is larger, the handling and adaptability have been greatly improved, the off-road performance is only up and down, the trapezoidal girder structure front and rear hard axles are non-independent suspension, the front, middle and rear three differential locks are the best choice for hard off-road vehicles, coupled with a reliable engine, no matter how bad the surrounding environment is, it can make people full of confidence.
"Why did you forget it!" Wang Hao also patted his head and said: "If you want to talk about off-road, the cars I saw just now are toys in front of this guy!" ”
"The Grand Cherokee is not bad either." The salesman finally finished his cigarette, staggered over, and interjected on the side.
Not far from the Wrangler is a Grand Cherokee, which is larger and has a relatively strong business temperament than the Wrangler.
If the Wrangler is a lonely knight, walking the world with one man and one sword, then the Grand Cherokee is the head of a large sect, although both are strong enough, but the Wrangler is more individual, and the Cherokee is calm and introverted.
In a Xiangjiang movie called 'Blind Detective', the female police officer played by Sammi Cheng drives a Grand Cherokee, which is very domineering.
"If the requirements for comfort and business are higher than off-roading, I personally recommend the Grand Cherokee, which has a much better interior and equipment than the Wrangler. Off-road is the opposite, hey, you can drive it straight to the mountain, and the Wrangler is fully mechanical, while the Grand Cherokee has a lot of electronics, in the words of people who like off-roading: machinery is safety. The male salesman continued.
"Are electronics safer than machinery?" Su Ming asked Wang Hao.
Wang Hao nodded: "Of course, electronic equipment relies on circuits, and it is easy to fail if water enters or something, and the machinery is different, unless it rusts to death." For example, if the car falls into the river, the electronically controlled doors and windows will be wasted, and the passengers will easily be suffocated inside, but the mechanical control will not. ”
"I see." It was the first time Su Ming had come into contact with relevant information, and he used to think that those people who fell into the water and were suffocated to death were stupid, why didn't they open the doors and windows to escape.
"How's it going, take it for a test drive?" The male salesman didn't ask Su Ming if he could afford it, and asked directly.
"Try it!" Su Ming followed the sales out of the hall without saying a word and jumped into a test car.
He took the manual transmission test that year, and although he hadn't touched the car for a while, he still could drive. The Wrangler in front of me is an automatic transmission, which is easier to drive, no different from driving a bumper boat bumper car.
Su Ming put his right foot on the accelerator, slowly refueled, and immediately felt a strong feeling of pushing his back when he started.
Only those who are looking for death will slam the throttle in the city, and this 3. The 6L's tough-guy off-road power should not be underestimated, and most of the time there is no need to hit the throttle to the bottom at all.
This kind of car born purely for off-road, it is indeed rare in the city, Wrangler drove on the test drive route around the 4S shop, along the way, attracted a lot of eyeballs, and there were constantly car owners passing by on both sides, rolling down the window to look at the Wrangler.
Airplanes...... A powerful motor sounded, and an Audi A6 passed by the Wrangler very arrogantly.
"Grass, Lao Su, catch up ****!" Wang Hao was furious.
Su Ming smiled, driving is the most taboo road, especially for novices. Besides, different cars serve different purposes, and the Wrangler is not used for drag racing.
"Silly. Force one, leave him alone. The salesman gestured his middle finger from the Wrangler's hood, whistled, and said, "If we're in the field, he won't even be able to eat our fart!" ”
Su Ming looked at the male salesman a little unexpectedly, he went shopping for a day, and the salespeople he encountered were all well-trained and polite, it was really rare for him to look like a child.
The male salesman smiled: "I'm just a temporary worker, and I'm here to make a living." ”
Su Ming: "......"
Hao:......
After driving a lap back, Su Ming took another test drive of the Grand Cherokee, the comfort of the Grand Cherokee is really far better than that of the Wrangler, the Wrangler is hard and ruthless, and it is very bumpy to sit on.
"How's that, are you sure?" Wang Hao dragged Su Ming aside to discuss.
"Just Wrangler!" Su Ming said without hesitation. It's like choosing a partner, as long as you look at the right eye, other conditions don't matter.
Finally, I chose Wrangler 3. The 6L four-door version, without any discounts, and no additional pick-up fees, is considered decent, plus the purchase tax insurance license plate and the like, the landing price is a little bit to 600,000.
The male salesman took out a disc and stuffed it into the Wrangler's console.
"This CD, I personally gave it to you, and it just matches this car."
The other configuration of the Wrangler is average, but the acoustics in the car are quite good, and as the male salesman presses the play button, a somewhat vicissitudes of music and song sounds.
“oldsoldiersneverdie,theyjustfadeaway……”
Veterans don't die, they just wither.
"This song is called Veteran Immortality, it was widely circulated among the Allied forces during World War II, and it was the 'ancestor' of this Wrangler who accompanied the Allied soldiers across the field with this song, and a war correspondent commented on the Jeep at the time: Without it, I don't think the war can be won, it can do anything, including loading twice the design standard of cargo, going anywhere, such as running tens of thousands of kilometers in the desert of Africa, it is as faithful as a dog, as strong as a mule, and as flexible as a goat."
The male salesman looked deeply: "To be honest, I envy you for having such a car that a real man can control." ”
Su Ming didn't say anything, but Wang Hao pulled Su Ming's sleeve and whispered to his ear.
"Hurry up, this guy is sick in the second year."
