People and their subarus, especially the WRX..lol We always working on our jeeps because we abuse them and they take it. **** wears out over time and every damn thing on a jeep xj is easy to fix(for the most part, there are those timess.) You want to know how much a clutch costs to do in a WRX? $1,200 and good luck finding any shop to do it LOL! The dealership charges way more.


Co-worker: Look at that jeep compass!!!! (2010 jeep compass)
me: That's not a jeep, that's I turd I drove over in the parking lot because they had jeep badges on it. You can stick polish a turd, but it's still a turd.

(2010 jeep compass: 2 wheel drive, plastic body, 2.4L 4 banger, indepedent suspenion, no torque, and had check engine light on..LMAO.)

Maybe I should buy a prius slap a BMW badge on it and try to re-sell it.. I'm sure I could fool a lot of people. "Yes, this is BMW's new hybrid crapsicle technology, did I mention it says BMW?"

I had a similar picture once. I parked my white cherokee next to my '88 Trans Am GTA. Everytime I see an avatar like you, I think to myself. Now they have some damn good taste!! We love ze torque! That being said, I had to sell my trans am had to many issue and rather spend my time fixing my easier to work on jeep... I've always owned jeep so bare with me when I say this, no joking now!! It took my 5 and half hours to do spark plugs on that trans am.... And everybody who owns a third gen will agree that (even though I took a long time for first attempt) it is no walk in the park; them things are damn hard to get too!

Does this qualify as an oxymoron? lol. If they took it that well you wouldn't have to work on it all the time. Durability and the need for constant wrenching don't go together.

The guy at Carquest told me this when I was on the phone with him. Someone told it to him him and he thought it was funny and shared. I found it funny too because it can be so true. JEEP: Just Empty Every Pocket

HAHA touche!! got me there! what I was trying to say is mechanical parts wear out, right? But how many other motors hold the reputation of going past 300,000 miles constantly? or even though it's unibody can be used over and over and can still be useful? If I can beat the heck out of my cherokee and jump in the next day and take me to work without falling apart i think that;s taking it even though maybe a serpentine belt goes haywire and snaps.
Idk if that makes sense?? makes sense in my mind lmao. I don't compar "parts failing" to "Jeep failing" cus I can tell you replacing a timing belt on a honda every 90,000 miles is a fail lmao.

2 comments. 1 was good. The other pissed me off. First 1 we were talking about a friends ZJ. "That things not a jeep. All stock in s#!t. But you jeeps bad ***. With the tires sticking out and all" And then he proceeded to say "But its not worth all that your putting into it. If it was a W(RONGLER!!!!) then maybe"
