Because I can, I like to, and since parts break on a 20+ year old jeep

"Why didn't you get a 4runner?"
"Hummer makes the best off road vehicles."
"When are you gonna wash that?"
And my favorite:
::walk into auto parts store, and tell them, "I need such and such a part for a '99 Jeep Cherokee, 4 wheel drive, 4.0 inline 6." Their response, "Grand Cherokee or regular?" Did I SAY grand at any point?::

"Do you have reliable transportation?" Interviewer today.
Its reliable unless I roll or otherwise destroy it. And if it does break, most repairs short of an engine swap can be done in a parking lot with basic tools that are always in my Jeep

. That could have been the death of your interview lol. I know that would tell me you're wreckless and your vehicle breaks down so frequently you have to keep tools with you to fix it in parkinglots. lol.

Since you didn't quote your response, I'm assuming you just thought that, and didn't say it . That could have been the death of your interview lol. I know that would tell me you're wreckless and your vehicle breaks down so frequently you have to keep tools with you to fix it in parkinglots. lol.

My girlfriend is getting a new Jeep...she wants a yellow JK but at least it's a 2 door rubicon...with an auto :cringe:
Oh and then she had a conversation about how eventually I will have to part with my XJ, because "at some point it's not worth keeping"...I JUST might have to dump her *** now.
