When even after all of the problems it has given you with stuff breaking, you have never considered selling it. Not even when it sat in the shop for 2 days when I was nearly in tears of rage from that horrific water pump install.

YKYDAXJW it hasn't rained in Texas for almost 2 months, so you've been riding around with no doors. Then all of a sudden, a 10% chance of rain turns into a downpour at 4am and your in the garage for 6 hours wet vacing all the water out and drying everything. And it still works perfectly fine.

When it hasn't rained in months, and so any time you turn the A/C on you don't get that familiar smell of mud, just a puff of dust to the face.
Not to mention- when it's 106 out and you still grumble when someone makes you turn the A/C on...

110° in June on the way back from DC, in Park on the highway due to rush hour traffic. No shirt, 4 empty water bottles on the passenger seat, I could feel the heat coming off the asphalt, and I had my arm out the window begging for a breeze. I'm a little stubborn

You know you drive an XJ when your A/C doesn't work, but thats ok because that's one less step required to convert it to an OBA pump. (draining the freon)
