Trumpy crap. Pack it in ! We want car repair stuff !
And Bidan can just cram his EVs where the sun don’t shine! 🤬🤬🤬
Scotty I own a 2018 Jeep gc limited 3.0 litre diesel it’s done 105000 kms now and I get 1000 kilometres to a tank , being a retired Landrover mechanic I find this car brilliant 👌 anything made in the Us always is 👍 I’m over the water in Australia we love the Jeep brand now so much better than in 2010 👌I hope one day you’ll come here 🙏Cheers
I want to see Joe Bidens face when he sees the 12-14 mpg in the v8.
Hey Scotty, I live in the Newport, RI area, and I've got a Nissan Sentra 05 with a broken spark plug with the threading still threaded into the cylinder. Now I heard of the easy-out tool, and I was going to use one, but I bought the wrong easy-out and got it stuck in the threading. Now I am at a wall and need help. I really enjoy my car and would like to keep using it until I absolutely need a new one. What should I do because no mechanic will look at it for me?
He didnt pay 80k. He had the bank pay it for him and now he'll pay the bank 100k.
Exactly!
Lol.. right?
Ha
Lmaooooo true
Probably more than 100 depending on interest.
The median US salary is $56,000. Keep that in mind when considering the cost of any vehicle. Also, a good rule of thumb, as per Dave Ramsey, is never buy a vehicle worth more than half your annual salary. So your average American should never buy a vehicle that costs more than $28,000. And if everyone actually took that advice to heart, prices would start dropping.
I make 30k in a month.
1k a day
@@sunfadedlovejaded7741 people that make 30k/month don't feel the need to brag about it in yt comments. Lmao 🤡
I’ve thought about this and you maybe correct in a way but it’s fine to buy a vehicle that is worth as much as a full year salary because that’s why payment plans exist. If you love the vehicle, who cares, that’s what leases are for, you can always give it up at any point.
@@forgivemylaughterwho wants huge car payments?
I have never even bought a new vehicle. I am 49 years old and only buy used. I also only spend 50% or less of my annual salary on said vehicles. Dave Ramsey knows how to be responsible with money and what is and should be important to help us live debt free
@@motorcyclemichael2182 Nothing wrong with buying a new car. I have bought three new cars. Two of them are in my driveway. I see my neighbors changing their used cars every five years. I drive my new car for 15 years. It’s about total cost of ownership per year over time, not new or used.
At a time when good jobs are almost impossible to find, $80,000 for a Jeep is just plain nuts!
Not everybody is suffering
The top-of-the-line Bronco is the same price. And there are more jobs than people to fill them right now so I don't know what dream world you're living in maybe you should get more qualified
Get a 9 year loan, your all set....
@@MicroSoftner : Fools & their money will soon part.
@@SuperNovaHeights_ true, people think that everybody makes 50k a year. A lot of people make more than 150k+ (not me)😂 I can't afford it, but a lot of people can.
This is the most fun and excited about a car that I've seen Scotty. He's like a teenager again. It's a fun watch.
theyre have been plenty that h gt this excited about..like the blue covic type R vid the othet day..but ,.this is a waste of money
If this is the most excited that you’ve ever seen Scotty, then I’m assuming you haven’t watched too many of his videos. Basically, the more reliable the vehicle, the more excited he gets. I love it!
Agreed, it was fun watching Scotty having fun driving the 392 Jeep!
Scotty having fun in a Jeep, now I have seen everything
Imagine if Toyota made jeeps like this one. Scotty would pass out from the excitement alone.
I know right? I still can’t close my mouth 😂
Im lovin this
To be fair, I don't think he ever had a problem with the Wranglers or the older ones.
Now the newer ones that are basically re-skinned Fiats, well...
It's hard to go wrong with the 392 Hemi and ZF 8-speed. It's a fantastic combo!
I always liked the idea of these, the only thing that sucks is the price tag
And the repair bill... the gas cost..burning oil.... electrical gremlins.... envelope leaks.... etc etc. ;) respectfully
If u want one, i suggest u buy an older one. I just bought a manual 2003 Sahara Sport with all of the options for very cheap. i can guarantee its almost as fun as the newer ones. im only 19 so i dont need anything super nice😂 but im buying a 5.0 f150 next week for more rigorous situations. i would suggest u do something similar because im not paying any more than $25k for both vehicles and theyll serve me good for years and years.
@@MrDmadness I think that’s what warranty is for😂
@@Cooldibs he’s not wrong😂…warranty isn’t long on a jeep either
And they fall apart. Cheap all around.
I've seen it worse than that. I've seen them selling for $95K. These seem to be the new "status" symbol for people who have money.
It really is just that now. The ultra rich or the fools who easily part with their money can have it.
Daughters of people with money
Or a $100K F150
Both the Jeep Wrangler 392 and Ford Bronco Raptor are gas-guzzling Vanity Vehicles, plain & simple. They have no useful/practical application either on the hwy or trail. They're just "look at me" vehicles for "adult" adolescents.

@@billredding2000 preach my brother.
To each his own, but I think 80k for a Jeep is insane.
definitely, they up sale the engine way too much. everything else equal the v8 and trans upgrade from 8hp50 to 8hp75 cost 25k extra.
Agreed 100%
Phew I thought it was me
It'll pass everything on the road........except a gas station!!
Imagine lugging 5gal Jerry cans and filling all the seats with spare fuel. Drive carefully? Lol. Wouldn't want to shake up the contents and have a rupture.
😂🎉 true that!
What should TRX driver say😂
The Jeep V8 is gone after 2024
@@lancelotlink3907 I heard that they replace the 5.7 hemi also with a straight six. Is this true?
80,000 I would never think of even spreading anywhere near half that for a vehicle.
You are in a different tax bracket than the owner.
@@DoYouEvenLiftKid Who cares what tax bracket, waste of money. Rather stop working and retire sooner, go on trips, give it away, or spend it on any number of things.
$80k and you take it off road and dent the crap 💩 out of it. No thanks buy a used one and go off road with it. People usually lease these things anyway.
Went in to my Mitsubishi dealer 3 years ago "cheapest on the lot, new". Gave me a great deal on a leftover '19 Sport, 5 spd manual.
I could have easily afforded the most expensive, no thanks.
I just don’t see the point for a Jeep. It is dope but that seems 30k overpriced. Maybe not though, jeeps have a good resale value.
I have a 2010 JKU; I love it, and it's easy to maintain. The whole idea with a Wrangler is to perform easy maintenance because you have to have the capability to fix it yourself! They're getting more electronics and more complex. It's becoming too much to handle for an average person.
My 2015 Rubicon is 100 times better then the 91 YJ and the 97 TJ we had. Definitely they figured something out when they made the JK.
Newer Jeeps are terrible. Nothing but problems. They haven't made a good Jeep since the AMC built 4.0 inline 6 and the Aisin 4 speed (AW4) transmission went away. That combo is one of the 3 most reliable engine/transmission combos ever built.
TJs with the inline 6 were the last reliable actual Jeep that they made…. JKs JLs.. 🚮 🗑️
@@offthewallsurfer1 Truth! The last new Jeep I purchased was the 2006 Wrangler sport. I bought it just as the 2007s came out and I saw that 2006 would be the last year of the real Jeeps. It was stickered at $30K and I got it for $21,500 due to my employer discount. I can't imagine paying 80K for anything "Jeep" is producing these days.
Scotty was in his best mood in this video 😂😂... Cool guy Scotty
I know a guy that just paid almost $30,000 for a 6 year old Wrangler and they financed it for 6 years!
People have bumped their heads paying that kind of money for them.
That's insane
Doesn’t effect you how other people spend their money
I really would like to have a Jeep one day but the prices are just insane. They’ve turned the wrangler into a luxury vehicle.
A Jeep stopped being a Jeep when it got 2 more doors
They’ve turned everything into a luxury vehicle. The whole industry is out of whack and out of touch.
@@mplslawnguy3389 Even ‘economy’ cars are too expensive these days.
@@adotintheshark4848 TJ is the best J.
@@adotintheshark4848 the longer wheel base works great in Moab, UT climbing up and down ledges. I have a 2011 JKUR, love it.
Jeep knocked the JL out of the park. The ZF 8 speed is fantastic, I bought a JL the first year. I’m to almost 90k and 4 of us take it on a 1200 mile one way trip every year. Another thing that has consistently amazed me is the quality of the soft top, no leaks, looks brand new, and I have never parked it in a garage. Oh, and built in Toledo, Oh.
No way that thing is worth 80K.
If you can't afford it just say that.
@@fonziegraziano2827 I could easily pay cash for it but I would never spend 80K for any vehicle.
It's a jeep it ain't worth 20,000 with the repairs it's going to need.
It won't be once you drive off the lot.
80k for off road. Things a parking lot princess..
This reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where the mechanic didn't like the way the car was being maintained so he kept it, and drove off! 🤣🤣🤣
Love it! What this 392 Jeep gives is smiles per gallon. The evidence: Scotty behind the wheel of this Wrangler.
💀💀💀
Like the Land Cruiser, Jeeps are now too expensive to take off-road.
Yep. They are pricing themselves out of the wilderness!
Land cruisers were always expensive. At least in the us. But unlike wrangler, they’re worth the money. They’re overbuilt with the highest quality.
@@ryanwashere21 We had a Land Cruiser 80 with 160k miles that we gave to my stepson last year. It still has a lot of miles left but it takes a lot of gas.
Scotty, 80 K for a JEEP !!!! THat is just crazy, PERIOD !!!
ill keep my paid off honda fit lol
@@archie_bunker I totally agree. My Saturn vue is still running strong and paid for. THE price of new stuff is just o much period. .
@Benzley722 A little more than ten cents fella.
I think, Scotty's still laughing about the 80k this guy had spent on a Jeep all through the video!😂
So am I
No air snorkel like Land Cruiser. Couldn't drive it during West Africa's rainy season.
@@andrewwiener6798 @1:16,what about skid plates?
Probably. Nice Jeep but 80k is just insane.
@@FabienTeulieres93 I have heard of someone spotting a window sticker on a new F350 dually for $110,000!
That's INSANE !!! Hey there's a sucker born every minute, LOL 🙂
paying over a thousand a month on payments also lol
I haven't had good luck with Chrysler Corporation vehicles over the years so I would pass on a Jeep unless it had the 4.0 straight six and a manual transmission.
Why? My 97 straight 6 burned its oil up.
I've never seen you so excited about an engine before! My smaller eagle hemi is sedate most of the time but can cause tingling when I put my foot into it.
These car reviews are music to my ears. And Scotty is like a maestro without a baton😄
I am glad Jeeps are still made in my hometown of Toledo, OH since the beginning. I wish I could have a 392 Wrangler, but I am happy with my 2021 Jeep Gladiator! I love my Jeep!
Got a 2020 Gladiator. Love it.
It’s insane how much so many people are willing to pay for a toy
I can see paying 80k for a nice Denali or huge Lexus SUV that will last 25 years, but 80k for a lunky JEEP? Absolutely not lol
@@Hello-fd7tt The Lexus and Denali will lose half their value in five years whereas this will still be close to the same
Yeah.. and likely replace the transmission after 80k miles. Jeeps are fun but are notoriously problematic closer to 100k miles.
@@johnappleseed9290 any Chrysler,Ford,GM vehicle needs a new transmission by 100-120k .
@@hoosiernative9668 yup.. I got a co worker who’s already having issues 18k miles in on his 2022 Canyon. I can vouch for older GMs 1995-2005. Rock solid but the newer generations.. complete POS lemon prone vehicles
I thought the Ram TRX was speed limited because of the tires. The tires were only rated for 118 mph. Maybe the same case for this jeep
Scotty always given the best updates on Vehicles 👍🏿
Bought a '21 Wrangler Unlimited Altitude Sport for my wife. We ordered it well equipped new and got it for $45k. Has the Turbo 4. Sure, it doesn't have V8 power but it still very responsive. Gets mid 20s gas mileage as well. It is a really fun vehicle to drive around town in as well as go off road with.
and it sounds like a VW
....mid 20's gas mileage (?)
Yeah, all down hill in Neutral!
@@charlessmith3492 EPA rating is already 22 combined. My wife usually gets 1-2 above that with the driving she does (mixed but some moderate highway included). I would never have believed it prior to owning it. I think the Altitude is a little lighter than some other models (Rubicon, Sahara) which helps. Plus, the 2.0 l engine is a pretty small displacement, efficient engine if you don't regularly test the turbo.
I rented a Wrangler Sahara with the 2.0L in Colorado and was super impressed with the engine and was more impressed with the 28mpg I got driving in the mountains. I ended up buying a Rubicon with the 2.0L. I’ve been getting 22 combined and 24 on the interstate. Fantastic engine and plenty of pep. Yes it does sound like a weed whacker but who cares.
That Italian turbo is junk.
Wow, never seen him this excited on a road drive before, awesome sound out of the tail pipes!
Scottie that was an awesome video it was great to see you really enjoying yourself and having a good time and an American icon I have a Jeep Wrangler but I don't have that V8 but watching you have fun Made me feel like I was in the passenger seat with you sure makes you wanna go out And get one like right now lol😂😂
Scotty, that's not a Jeep, that's a four wheel drive Fiat. I have a 1995 Wrangler, I paid about $15,000 when I bought it new. It's a 6 cylinder (they also made a 4 that year) and now has 369,000 miles on it. I had a new engine/transmission put in at 325,000, due to wear and the rear seal was leaking. Roll up windows and the old leaf spring suspension. Gets 19 mpg on the highway! I've kept it up, but it's has been the best vehicle I've ever owned and many parts like the starter are original after 28 years. Sure, the suspension is a little stiff but it's a Jeep!
The price has gone up about $1000 every year since. Gotta say that they hold value for what it is. I miss roll up windows.
Straight six engines last the longest because they are inherently perfectly balanced
Agree, not a jeep, not even close
I don't care how smooth it rides or its off road capabilities. 80K for a Jeep is ridiculous.
I have no idea how this channel showed up in my feed…but we’re here now, I’m hooked🤷🏽♂️
I like the idea of an SUV that has the back side top convertable for use like a truck. Very few options exist, those that do are expensive as hell, jeeps being one of them.
It's got a V8 engine. Better than an EV ANY day.
I was putting stuff in the back seat of my Tacoma and a Model 3 Tesla drove by, I did not hear it, but I sense it.
Snuck up on me.
I Love the sound of a V8
. 🔊🎶🎵🎶🔊
( my 2018 Tacoma is only a V6)
Any gas engine is better then an EV.
Hmmm… It’s definitely cooler. But try a Tesla Model X, they are sick dude. As a daily driver EV cars are actually dope as long as you can charge from home. Unfortunately we can’t all do that or afford them. Take a Model X for a test drive, you’ll pee your pants they really are sick.
Don’t get me wrong I’m a big fan of real engines and muscle cars etc. But electric cars try one sometime, you won’t believe it some of them are nuts.
Agreed
@@fastede52 💯
A friend who had a Jeep told me they have all kinds of problems. This was for like the 2014 model year or something like that. I hope for $80,000, this thing runs perfect and has long-term durability.
No its a jeep 50k miles your going to have problems
@@kustomchevy27 so true! Haha. By 50k my thermostat went out, tranny started lagging & electrical systems were having weekly issues. Jeeps are trash
Think again OP they are junk
@@timsgta that's what I keep hearing.
I’ve never seen Scotty so happy!! Bless the Jeep and the N/A V8 😁
Isn't the Jeep company that Scotty keeps harping on because they are made by Fiat/Chrysler/Stellantis? Now it's a REAL Jeep again,like from the 80's? Which is it Scotty??
I feel like he changes his tune in person to be polite
Gotta love the sound of a V-8!
I'll keep my all original 1956 CJ-5 instead. I paid $2400 for it and the 135ci L-head four-cylinder still runs as smooth as silk.
Good
Toledo Ohio's finest. And yeah, $80k is steep, but theres actually a waiting list for those. The plant here has two shifts making the Wrangler and both can crank out over 500 a shift when everything runs good, but still only make maybe one or two of those a shift.
Have you ever noticed every time Scotty gets to hear the rumble of a V8 he gets giddy as a schoolgirl.
Does the hemi tick come with it?
Hey @scottykilmer , I had a few questions: I am looking for a Lexus RCF to daily drive, (preferably 2017-2023) is it okay to buy it from carmax? Also where can I buy them because I know that they are pretty rare cars.
Hemi tick coming to a jeep near you. Also it's 480ftlbs of tq getting multiplied by gears going through dana 44s.
That rig is gonna tear up the mall parking lots😂
This is more than transportation. It's this guy's hobby!
You forgot to play with the performance exhaust button...lol Nice Video glad you liked it Great Jeep!
I would buy a 4Runner for $50000
agreed..
No one is forcing you to get a Jeep 4Runner fan.
Scotty will do a car review everyday! What a work horse
$80K? Does it come with a bathroom?😊
Exactly 💯
A lot of the jeep did look beefed up. But when your friend puts on a full size spare -- it appeared they didn't beef up the rear door to hold that spare. That will be an upgrade to get one that ties into the rear bumper?
Nice seeing Scotty doing videos in the state I grew up in RI
And you can get factory lifts and off-road setups on the 392 that will drive the MSRP north of $130K. No kidding.
80 grand, no way!
I have the 392 engine in my dodge charger scatpack, love the V8 rumble 😝
I have V8 4Runner that I plan to keep forever. I've never really needed the power, but I just love the sound and feel.
If it had 2 doors and a real 6 speed it would be awesome
I have one with the six speed it's junk
i’m guessing you can get the 392 in a charger or challenger for way less money
Can't take those off-road.
@@SimonBarsinister depends on how much you’ve had to drink !
Hi Scotty - How are the repair costs (at the dealer) for a jeep like this one?
If you're getting the Rubicon, I recommend going for the diesel engine. They'll get over 20 mpg on the highway, which is still nothing to write home about obviously but compared to the gas version you'll save a lot of money.
The sticker price is outrageous. But Jeeps really have serious flair, and that’s saying a lot in that heinous automotive timeline of ours made of “greige”, vanilla crossovers. That Rubicon looks (and sounds!) mighty cool inside and out.
Good to see Scotty not completely trash Mopar. Glad he likes something they make
You mean, Fiat
Ask him if he would buy one 😂😆👎
He’s only being kind,so he can drive it 😅
Maybe the new Ram? Which is number one or reliability 3 years in a row? He had to majorly Backtrack on that whole critique
@@rodmunch1931 Stellantis now since 2021. My '04 wrangler tju is a dinosaur compared to this, but I'm a sucker for the I-6.
Just

😅
Lol. It’s like Scotty read my mind or something. I was just looking at the rubicons. 😂
Not a Jeep fan but that growl is awesome
would have got a new trd 4runner and use the 25-30k on upgrades or strippers! Lol!
I purchased a 2023 Wrangler Rubicon Farout with the Diesel engine. It’s amazing! Not quite as fast as the 392 but almost the same amount of torque. It’s fast! Plus it gets 25 mpg
GR8 VIDEO THANKZZ FOR SHARING!!!!
I just got my 2023 wrangler unlimited rubicon with and eco diesel avg mpg 25 just amazing and tons of torque.
There are two new Rubicons sitting at one of my customers body shops right now... Both are total losses due to relative minor rear end hits that appeared to be simple "rear bumper jobs". One totaled due to unrepairable frame damage, the other needed a whole new tub. If you own one... do not get rear ended!
well , if you get rear ended, atleast you'll get the insurance money from the other people..and know not to buy another on of these for that much.. most of these new cars and trucks aren't made like they used be
@@richsweeney1115 - Guess what that results in? Everybody insurance go up no matter what you drive! Insurance companies never lose, just like banks. No modern vehicle should total out due to a 5-10 mph rear end collision. Frontal, side and rollover impact protection is rated and mandated, but not rear enders!
Scotty got hooked. Most of us hemi owners have been hooked for many years now.
😎🇺🇲🙏
The Hemi days are soon too be over !!! 😂
to the gas station ?
These things will appreciate like crazy, only wrangler with the 6.4 that CDJR is killing off, not a dumb purchase at all
Jeep, Just Empty Every Pocket
Is Scotty approving a Jeep product ?😅
Never honestly feel he'd ask us to get a fj cruiser
He’s gaslighting ALL the Jeep owners!
Had Jeeps going back to the 1983 CJ-7 !! Still have my 2004 TJ Rubicon, but really enjoy driving the new JLUR 392XR both on and off-road. Like Scotty says, ZF builds a world class transmission. It drives almost as good as my Suburban on the hi-way, and that's impressive. The exhaust sounds as good as any muscle car I've ever heard, and I still have my '72 Firebird Formula 455 (now a 532) that I bought new !! Just don't talk about mileage! lolol Probably the last V8 I'll ever buy, but I love it !!!
Yo Scotty, i got a 4xe rubicon you can review! love your stuff man!
Two things:
1. Those "off road goodies" next to the swaybar-disconnect buttons, are the front and rear diff-lock switches. (Its off-road party piece, and the Rubicon also have them. Lesser spec Wranglers have a less effective limit slip diff innthe rear only)
2. Its governor is at 99mph, since many customers would have their Wranglers fitted with mud-terrain tyres, and mud-tyres are rated for 100mph only. (The all-terrains as fitted to the car in the video, are rated for 112mph / 180kmh)
Don’t forget the Mohave has a rear locker only
@@joshmyers8399 Thanks! I am not familiar with the Mohave spec, since we in South Africa only get the Wrangler V6 in Sport and Rubicon trims. (And 90% of the buyers go for the Rubicon - nobody wants the compromised Sport)
My Jeep is a 2001 Wrangler with 4.0 Straight Six! Love it!
Mine too! White Sahara MANUAL! Owned since new-23 years this year.
@@RussellBonjornoJr Nice
I had a 69 Dodge Dart that had 96,000 miles with the slant 6 in it. At the time I also had a 1984 Chevy pickup with the strait 6 as well. That slant 6 ran smoother than my Chevy's strait 6. LOL
Scotty has always said that he likes old jeeps that were made in the USA. It’s when fiat (Stellantis) took over production that problems with quality began. I own a 2019 jeep Cherokee latitude and it is a fantastic vehicle. It’s definitely not a defective product
Yep, he said they were crap. (fiat) I have a 93 XJ and a 2004 while they had the 4L he used to praise.
Hi Scotty love the channel and content . Your like me tell it like it is.
What do you think about the transfer case issues that seem to be popping up. Is it a design flaw (not able to handle the torque) or possibly stem from abuse.
Thanks and merry Christmas
$80k is crazy for that, but whats even crazier are the folks that actually pay $80k, or close to it, for a wrangler! 😂
For a poj
Scotty finally got some SMILES PER GALLON! Hell yeah
I guess this is one reason why the dealership is offering me more money for my Rubicon than I paid for it. It funny, my wife hated my old Jeeps, but the newer ones ride a lot better. You still feel the bumps, just not as bad.
Owned a 2014 JK, got one of these and it’s a night and day experience. Pricey but definitely fun, my other daily is an M5 and once you get a V8 it’s hard to go back. We keep a 4 banger Hyundai for when we need to chill out
Always a fan of Japanese cars. And I agree. About time they make a true American V8 truck❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Nissan Titan - 5.6V8 made in America 👍
@@nismo370z4 a Japanese truck with American V8. Nice
I can think of sooo many things I'd rather spend $80k on. Still better than an EV tho
No ev equivalent....for now. It will come but at what price? $200K ?
Have u by chance made a video of the scotty approved 90s mobiles, looking for first car nd not tryna buy a hooptie, bought an 2001 audi quattro 1.8 5v😊😊 turbo for less then scrap so not bad in emd but its going to junk yard before the 3k of work the shop quoted. Not scared of dling work to it but am looking for a next to near bullet prrof motor like the old honda atc engines
I think scotty is in love and with a Stellantis product ....I guess miracles do happen. 😊
I love the laughing horse. Well done!
Please put that engine in my gladiator. Great stuff Scotty. U had ne laughing
I had a 68 Jeep Wagoner with a AMC 401 that was a Powerful Jeep!
The last brand new Jeep I purchased was the 2006 Wrangler Sport TJ. The 2007s just came out and I realized the 2006 would be the last year of the good Jeeps (Inline 6 4.0). It was stickered at 30K and I got it for $21,500 due to my employer discount. I can't imagine paying 80K for anything "Jeep" is producing these days.
Scotty, I paid $24K for my ‘01 F150 Supercrew with 4.6… and, it just passed smog, again. 179384 original miles. Original owner, no carfax….never wrecked…still get 17mpg around town 21 on the freeway, cylinder management….
80K and you still have a metal prop rod for the hood like my 2005 Corolla 😂
Hood gas cylinders fail many times. The old rod doe the job forever. 0 maintenance.
@@arvbergstedt3303 : Hood hinge coil springs, like the older
Dodge pickups, FTW!
I luv it 😂..
“ he’s lucky I came back “
Those pictures on the side are awesome 😅😅
I can always count on you Mr. K. ❤
