Loved the car and excited I finally got to drive a jeep lol My only quarrels were that the radio doesn’t work so it was a lot of awkward silent driving if I couldn’t play music from my phone (as a singer that was kinda frustrating) And the right blinker was a little difficult to work cause it didn’t want to stay on so I had to hold it in place!
