Tell her you bought it for her, then sabotage it to run like crap and keep breaking down. When she gets fed up with it you can say "well let's keep it and I'll see if I can fix it and play with it".

Don't worry about the wife. Just need to demonstrate the special uses for the rear half of the Cherokee and she'll be a fan.

The back of my XJ sleeps just fine... my previous "sleeper" was a Ramcharger.

I got in a lot of trouble with that truck.

Enough trouble that a psycho-ex doused it in gas and burned it to the ground.

I'll never date another Italian...
