The Jeep Grand Wagoneer has already established itself as a solid alternative to the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator in the luxury full-sized SUV space. The unique styling and upscale interior have been popular with customers shopping in this luxury segment, and sales have been relatively strong for the brand, which is best known for the rugged Wrangler SUV. For 2023, Jeep has given the Grand Wagoneer the new “Hurricane” engine to make it even more competitive in the segment.

In this case, I was absolutely excited to drive the 2023 Dodge Challenger R/T Shakedown Edition, part of Dodge’s “Final Call” series of special editions to send these cars off into the sunset.

I’ve repeatedly written how much we love the current generation Kia Sportage, which was all new for 2022. The Sportage has fantastic styling, a modern tech stack, and a full suite of safety features, all at a price considered a value in today’s market.

What started as a discussion at the Katy Porsche Club of America GTG two months ago turned into a plan executed today. Several of us decided 2023 was the year we used our cars for Get Out and BBQ. That’s right, GOAB. Today, 19 cars left Katy on a 180-mile drive with a simple purpose – Enjoy the drive and enjoy the fantastic Texas BBQ at Round Top Smokehouse. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, and the company was even better. The cars are what brought us together. The people are what keep us together.
