According to a recall alert published by the NHTSA today, Land Rover is recalling 19,168 Range Rovers produced between 2003-2005 due to a relatively serious problem with the drivetrain. Apparently, the front differential coupling sleeve and the propeller shaft have the potential to misaligned, which will eventually wear down the spline. The problem may not be noticeable at first, but over time it will manifest itself in noises and/or vibrations (which may or may not be audible to the driver, depending on how big the assumed aftermarket sub-woofers are and which Ice-T track happens to be playing).

Currently a running back for the New York Jets, Thomas Jones keeps a colorful lineup of whips in his garage including a candy apple red Rolls Royce Phantom, a violently orange Ferrari 360 Spider, and a surprisingly subdued cool-blue Range Rover. Media shy both by nature and on principle, a glimpse into Jones’ private life is a rare treat indeed as Jones is one of those increasingly rare NFL players with a healthy dose of humility. Although it seems painfully cliched to further explain that Jones’ grew up in a small coal mining town to hard-working parents who always stressed the value of education - it’s a fact worth mentioning regardless.
A phenomenal athlete with an unpretentious character the likes of which I haven’t seen Barry Sanders, I like Thomas Jones so much, I’m not even going to give him a hard time for that obscenely-hued Phantom.
