Convo with tire shop guy
"you really need wider wheels for these tires man"
"why?"
"they are wide and you might have problems because the wheel is only 7 inches wide and they say you need an 8 inch rim for these"
"I know"
"So you want to order new rims for your jeep"
"no mount those tires on the wheels that its on"
"it wont work"
'Yes it will don't worry about it"
Trying to put a 31 11.5 KM2 on a 7in soft 8 he was PISSED at me,
and then i tapped it.

when they ask "wanna race?" I reply "sure you choose the distance, I choose the terrain."
whenever someone says "i have a wrangler" I say "oh I thought you meant a real Jeep.

"Why do like Jeeps so much?"
"I think your exhaust has a hole in it"
"Why don't you just get a Toyota, they are so much nicer"
"Yeah my CRV has 4WD too and gets good gas mileage"
"why do you need lights on your roof"
'You need to wash your car"
And for those have the PW issues
"Can you unlock my window?" "No but if you buy me a burger I can roll it down for you"
I love when people ask to race?
Had a little modded actually not to bad looking focus hatchback at a light next to me a kid, revved his engine, I had 4 people in the car with me and the kid in the back rolled his window down to laugh, well the light turned green, even stock geared on 32s, I took him then he quickly gave up and wouldn't come up next to me at the next light..

Are we sliding/losing control? (Not yet)
Why don't you shift when the light comes on? (It's the ejection seat activation light)
Where's your back seat? (this is a 2 person xj)
What is that music your listening too? (METAL, ***** \m/)
Are those lights necessary? (preparing for dec 20, 2012)
Why does it grind when you go into reverse, don't you know how to drive a stick" (Uh suck it)
Didn't they quit making cherokee's because no one wanted to buy them? (They didn't break down so people didnt need new ones)
Your clutch pedal is really stiff? (i'll show you stiff
)
There's alot of road noise? (that's what the stereo system is for)

Don't even have it yet and I'm taking heat.
Me: "So I'm getting a Jeep."
Friend: "Dude that's g**."
Me: "A Cherokee."
Friend: "Why? They suck!"
Needless to say, it was impossible to have a logical conversation with him afterward anyway.
