Things not to say to an XJ owner; "Whoa... This IS used! I'm so embarrassed to get in.." coming from someone who doesn't have a car, and was welcomed into my jeep. My response "well, you could get out and walk! Besides, guess who isn't getting stuck this winter, ME."

I told my GF that yesterday after stating I need an alternator etc. She said that's not a nice motto. I was like "I know, jeeps will get you through anything but will empty your wallet doing it.

I told my buddy (a YJ owner) that I wanted a 4.5 RC lift for my Jeep...He suggested that I just get a 3" RC lift and get a 1" body lift.....I then had to take him out to my Jeep to prove that I CANNOT PUT A BODY LIFT ON IT!!!

..... You need to watch some u.k top gear.diesel is good for a truck off road but never for a real sport car or any car made for speed. They are good for some high mpg..an fact and point real sport cars never have a diesel.just look them up.
