POWER MAD
There’s a line from Moby-Dick, “In a whaler wonders soon wane.” Cetaceans are awesome creatures, magnificent mammalian consequences of evolution. Awesome, in the older, proper sense of the word. And in a life spent in their pursuit, so filled was it with wonder, the whaler soon grew immune to unsubduable excitement. As much as I try not to let myself get numb to the routine of driving dream machinery, it happens.
Imagine my surprise when I floored the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk and found myself laughing like a fool for 30 seconds straight. I only floored the big, red Jeep for a few seconds, but that was enough to make me giggle and guffaw for 10 times as long. I wasn’t in Sport or Track mode, and I wasn’t using launch control.
