Things not to say to an xj owner
Conversation with my step dad yesterday:
Me-I'm really looking forward to getting a lift on so I can do some off-roading
Step dad- you can't go offroading in your 2WD jeep
Me- sure I can... I can either convert it to 4WD, lock the back, or just not do anything and I can still go off roading
Step dad- No. Your not. It's a waste of money
Me- you don't know what you're talking about(now this is where I wanted to just start yelling at him but I kept my cool)
Step dad- I'm not going to argue with you right now
Now I suppose I can see where he is coming from value wise because he owns a used car dealership and everything is value to him but he doesn't need to tell me what I can and can't do with MY jeep that I paid for. Especially since the title isn't in his name

Gas, last week, at the station by my home was $4.33. I haven't looked this week. While in Michigan, I saw it as low as $3.85. In NW Indiana, it's $3.95.

Lmao.... my stomach would've dropped if I seen that. As my Halloween costume this year I'm dressing as a gas pump with $6.59 a gal. Now that's scary.

Why do I always have to yell when we're on the highway? Can't you get quiet tires?
Why are you beating up your Jeep, the fenders are fine! (running 35's on 5" lift...yeah)
