...when you pull a traded-in 2005 Grand Cherokee Laredo into the shop, and all of your co-workers tell you that you should "upgrade" and trade in your XJ for it, but you know very well that you own the superior Jeep, so you just roll your eyes.

YKYDAXJW someone breaks in and steals your MP3 player, and you're mad because you have to listen to your AC vents rattle and your brakes squeak.

Does more then whistle.. I was driving down the highway last weekend and it sounded like I was driving next to a jet taking off. Might as well have just been driving without the doors on.

Haha mine make a lot of wind noise when I'm driving but they don't whistle. They whistle when i get a strong wind against the side of the Jeep. I had a loud exhaust up until this August when i changed to a new setup and I never heard it before. This storm today is the first time I've driven anywhere with a storm with winds like this since then and I heard it whistling while I was sitting in my works parking lot.... I'm sitting there going nuts thinking "What the hell is that noise?" I revved the motor a little, turned the heat off, turned the radio off, made sure the hood was fully latched, nothing changed the noise. Finally put my hand up against the door jam because i felt the breeze and it went away. Pulled my hand away and it started again. I went into work with a big old "This freakin' Jeep" smile lol.

YKYDAXJW you know what the "this freakin' Jeep" smile is. It's that smile when your Jeep does something so dumb the only thing you can do is chuckle about it and think "Why do I do this to myself?" Haha

I laughed when I read that. A lot. Said the same thing to mall security when I parked on the curb in the corner with a cart return.

You try to come up with reasons why you need to go for a drive.
