My tires can't grip accelerating in rain/snow for crap but they have good cornering manners if I start sliding I can control the slide easily. But on dry roads or gravel I can hold a tight corner at speed better than almost any car I have ever driven.

That isn't disgust in your jeep, it's the sudden realization of how miserable their car really is

A Prius owner yelled at my dad for driving his "pointless" F-250 while he had the bed FILLED (Overfilled, even) with aircraft parts, plus a trailer carrying an engine from a 747, I was helping him out on my day off with a salvage project they were doing... yea he doesn't need that truck at all. Meanwhile his POSius was parked in the middle of the road, door wide open. It got hit by another car while he was whining at us.
Also- she should be more considerate- you know how much carbon she's releasing into the environment with all that b****ing she was doing?

The first jeep I ever drove was a yj with the BFg all terrains, and it was sketchy in the rain and even in the snow in town. I had the Firestone m/ts on my lifted zj and thought it was great in all weather but I ran at 30to34 psi most of the time. The best tire I've had was the nitto Tera grapplers ats on my wj. Took me every where I needed to go rocks snow mud sand rain

Your girlfriend refers to your xj as your other girlfriend.
