My 90 xj I have now is my first and I've had since I was 17. Have had five years full of memories, My first memory of it was when I was 14 with my uncle (the po) haha he came to pick me up to go to a demo derby and I was at my moms friends house that lived up on this hill with the very steep muddy driveway that no one could get up except the property owner in his beater toyota pickup. I was suppose to meet him down below at the end of the driveway but he showed up early and drove right up the driveway with no problem, haha the property owner was surprised that the bone stock jeep made it up without breaking a sweat, haha never thought it would be mine 3 years later.

Right before I turned 16 I got my first XJ. I still remeber it, it was the biggest POS of them all but I'll never forget how it got me hooked into Jeeps and how it got me deely obsessed with Chili Pepper Red paint haha 3 XJ's later I'm still going strong.

got my first Cherokee (first vehicle) when I was 16. it was my moms,
she got a new truck and gave the jeep to me.
I was terrible to that poor jeep. I crashed it into everything, some times we would sleep in the back camping. I let my girlfriend drive it thru a corn field and she had no idea how to drive standard.. burnt out the clutch. I broke every interior panel i ever took off. tried to put a cd player and speakers in but i didn't know what i was doing and didn't have it properly installed. every time I hit a stop sign the CD player would come flying out . The speakers were the wrong size and i couldn't figure out how to screw them in so the magnets held them in (except when you opened the door they fell out)
I totaled it in NH coming back from a skateboard park with my friend.
came up over a hill into the sun and right into the back of another Cherokee. luckily no one was hurt.

I was young and did a lot of stupid stuff back then

41. 2000 XJ Sport. Memories would include numerous trips loaded up with mountain bikes and kids heading to the dirt trails, working on it and towing home 5000 ponds of patio blocks in the rain.........the last memory is not recommended by the way.
