Rolling backwards at red lights, parking next to other jeeps, or trucks that think they are cool.
Also, an "end" ritual that me and a couple friends share, "in a couple years when the heep is on her last leg take it wheeling and beat the **** out of her and leave her where she dies" ritual

I always have to make sure the gear selector clicks when I put it in park, otherwise I can't get my keys out of the ignition.

Aside from also talking to my Xj, I have manual door locks and to unlock the passenger door i have to flip it back and forth at least 3 times before the door will open. (I do not attempt to unlock it from the outside)

I absolutely HAVE to turn off the headlights before shutting off the Jeep. If I take the key out and the headlights are on, I have to put the key back in, turn off the lights and then remove the key. I can't stand the delayed off headlights.

I am sure I have a few others from this list, but I'm not going to confess to nothing more. lol
