@FoxNewsAutos This is my 1981 Jeep CJ7 Laredo. Had a similar Laredo many years ago and wanted to share the Jeep experience with my daughters. Also wanted one that was original and not modified: 28,000 miles, original paint and interior.

@droyal744 where are you headed?

[Jerry Holtgren @JHoltCJ8]

Just collaborated with @Love_Smomoo on a college paper. She is using her soft skills (collaboration and advocation) and finding success!

[Jerry Holtgren @JHoltCJ8]

@cakalaky That is an example of superior coaching. I love the fact no one else is even in the photo!
