HAHA I know right

 

I've gotten SO much hate for my XJ since I've owned it. Here's some stuff people have said about it.

"Why don't you get a real Jeep" - Kid in my Auto Shop Class
My reply: "I have a real Jeep, I own two XJs and both say Jeep on the title"

"You work on your Jeep all the time, it's a POS"-Kid in my autoshop class
My reply: "I don't work on it because something broke. Unlike what you've been doing to your exploder"

A kid in my class once pointed to the front bumpstop and said
"hey what happened to your shocks?! Your Jeep is messed up!"
My reply: "get out of this class if you don't know what a bumpstop is, do you not see the shocks mounted to my front axle"


"Your CAR doesn't look too safe" kid commenting on a picture of a flex test i did after putting my lift on.

"Why did you get something so old for your first car?" spoiled kid at my school
My reply: "it's a 96 it is built a million times better than your land rover. Go away"

"I saw your crappy Jeep today and I laughed" Arrogant kid at my school
My reply: "Its not as crappy as your non existant car."

"Your jeep doesn't have as many horses as my 305 Camaro RS!" kid in auto shop

My Reply: (searched up specs on shop computer for the 242 and showed kid) "yours puts out almost 30 horses less than my I6, dont come crying to me in the winter to pull you out."



Yeah I've basically stopped taking from people about it. Somehow i've grown to become more respected and people have quit within the last month. Maybe it's because the snow's falling, its michigan, and I have a tow strap under my rear seat.... Who knows hahaha!

 

Haha I'd pop 'em in the mouth for that one!

 

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?::[/QUOTE]

I hate that. Idiots.

Its worse when you're a female, they think you just don't know how to properly identify your vehicle.

Idiots.

 

What's that noise?

Is it supposed to sound like that?

Is it a diesel?

Why does the body creak so much?

 

I hate that. Idiots.

Idiots.

hey now. i work at advance auto parts and i ask that every once in a while if we are busy, just because you wouldnt believe how many people dont know what their own vehicle actually is... (but i actually ask "regular cherokee?")...let alone which year. and if they say something like cherokee and they actually have a grand cherokee...or caravan and its actually a grand caravan...and you get them a part and it dont fit...they come back whining over and over about how you got them the wrong part. no idiot, you told me the wrong vehicle. but normally i notice when an xj driver pulls up in the parking lot and then we start gabbin on and on...but yea, i also hate it when people assume you mean grand cherokee.

 

i used to own a 99 gmc jimmy with a very non reliable 4.3 vortec, i spent alot of money on a buch of crap that didn't fix the problem so i sold it..plusss the 4wd was very unreliable.. then the comments came..........

"why would you sell your jimmy for an older cherokee, there so ugly"
me-"well i was kinda interested in something thats all steel and isn't going to start just hen its warm, pluss plastic bumpers are one of the worst ideas for a 4x4er"

"you look like a soccer mom in that thing, atleast the jimmy looked cool"
me- "you drive a goe metro don't be talking, and do soccer moms go rippin through fields everywhere?" (only part i like about living in the praries)

 

(Me) hey need a brake line for a 95 cherokee sport

(advanced auto girl) is that a grand cherokee?

(me in my head) dumb B17ch did i say grand?

(me) umm no that will be box cherokee

(advanced auto girl) o we cant look that up

(me) you cant look up a break line?

(advanced auto girl) nope sorry

so i walk and get a lock nut and some green paint and go to buy my stuff and i go to the other guy there ( a xj guy) and we talk and he has a cherokee wih 9.5 lift with 37s and a 318 in it.

but the point of this is the whole time i was haven a convo with this a$$ of a girl in auto she was eating chips spitten them on me (me a kind person just said o ok i got it nvm) how dumb is it u cant tell what brake line u have on your jeep i got soo mad in there i wanted to flip $h1t

she wasnt even good looking she look like a dand train reck....

 

thats really sad...unfortunatly you dont need to know much of anything about cars to get a job there... its either you know not much about sales and alot about cars, or not much about cars and alot about sales (although if she was just eating chips right infront of you she prolly didnt know either) and its just funny that she didnt even try and look the brake line up. was it a steel one or a brake hose?

 

the steal 1 i hate going there i wana work there just to help people that realy need it.....i do need a job lol

 

just got this one sitting in English class today talking to one of my friends that use to own a 89 xj 4 banger but sold it to buy a wrongler for 5 grand. hes had it for a year and already had to buy a complete cooling system, somehow blew out his rear 44 and did a few other things i cant remember

anyways
Me: ya im finally guna have my xj running on monday
Nick: so u guna do anything to it
Me: ya, guna put a 4.5" RC long arm lift on it and custom bumpers
Nick: Is that a suspension lift or a body lift
Me: Nick, xjs r unibodies, u cant put a body lift on them
Nick: well when i had mine it had a body lift on it
Me: o it did now
Nick: ya it was bout 3"
Me: those were coil spacers
Nick: ooo..........

what an idiot. and hes going with me to our local tech. collage next year... o boy

 

Well maybe if they'd all pay attention to what pulls up in front then there wouldn't be an issue LOL. No offense man, but you may be the miniority, everyone who works at the parts shops here is pretty clueless. Frankly, if you own a Grand cherokee thats strike one, if you go into parts stores and don't specify your vehicle as a Grand Cherokee that's strike two!

 

Case and point!

 

Things not to say to a XJ owner..

Did that cost a lot? No man not at all! There's a reason I refer to it as "Money pit"

 

well... the store im at just opened alittle bit ago and the manager (like the best guy around) pulled the best from the surrounding stores. we are supposidly a dream team...not sure if its true or not haha. the best way to get the parts you need from a place is to be friends with one of the people there. hah.

yea... the sad truth is most people that know about cars...dont wanna be working at a parts store haha.
