My dad told me not to get stuck in the snow last night. I told him to call me if he gets his truck stuck, his tires make my MTRs look new and they are bald.

A few years ago took my XJ in for it's annual MOT test (compulsory roadworthiness check). The guy laughed and said "a Jeep eh? Just Enough Essential Parts, ha-ha"
Never went back there again........

You should have told that guy actually JEEP stands for Just Expect Excessive POWER!!
Hahaha!
Okay, honestly, I think my jeep is pretty cute... But I'm a chick, so I think that probably makes it okay? And, I keep my studly hunk of a beast ridiculously clean and shiny. Once he starts getting scuffed up he'll be transformed into an offroading monster with a topcoat of mud. It'll be like, a rite of passage for him. We're both looking forward to it, but for right now, he's "cute."
Anyway, I think if I were a guy and my rockcrawler was called cute, I'm sure my testosterone levels would dip slightly.
Things I hate:
Guy: "You know, your Cherokee doesn't exactly make you appear feminine."
Me: "Yeah... hey, did you just get your hair highlighted? It looks really pretty."
Guy: "Oh thanks! You like it?! Oh wait... uh...I mean..."
***
Me: "I need a coil pack for my stock 2001 Cherokee Sport."
Auto parts guy: (looking out the window for it) "Are you sure you need a coil pack? Which Jeep is it?"
Me: "It's the 2001 Cherokee Sport. You can just type that in the computer."
Auto parts guy: (looks at me) "Well, is it a Grand Cherokee or regular Cherokee?"
Me: "It's a 2001 Cherokee Sport. There's no such thing as a 2001 Grand Cherokee Sport."
Auto parts guy: (realizing I'm not dumb) "Ok, so the regular, then? Do you know whether it is a V or an Inline ?"
Me: "It's a 2001 Cherokee Sport. No 'regular' Cherokees were built with V's."
Auto parts guy: "Oh... Ok, but does it have 4 cylinders or 6 cylin--"
Me: "--It's a 2001 Cherokee Sport. The 2001 models are exclusively 6 cyl."
Auto parts guy: "Oh... ok...." (finallystarts typing in computer)
(Okay, that second conversation was mostly just the guy assuming I'm dumb, and not a knock on Cheroks, but still.... annoying!)
