Default Just got my first car, and it's a Cherokee!

(First post btw.)
I just got my (technically) first car. I bought a $800 suzuki from my aunt, which I sold for $2500 to buy this guy right here: A 1993 4.0L V6 cherokee :3 The front suspension is all messed up so it turns like a cruiseliner, but it's getting fixed right now.

I have absolutely no knowledge on cars, so I came here for help. I plan on keeping this thing until it refuses to move another inch, and I want to get it dirty.

Welcome from NC! By the way, again, it's not a car, truck van, even SUV is a stretch, it's a Jeep or XJ. And the 4.0 is an I6, now find some rocks to play on!
