I guess I'm just lucky. I live in a Jeep friendly place and by Jeep I mean people know that XJ's are Jeep just like wranglers and CJs and Wagoneers.
I'm in Walmart parking lot with the hood up, standing on the winch bumper when a woman and her little boy walks by.
Little Boy: Mommy Mommy look at the fat man on the car.
Mommy: Honey that's not a car that's a Jeep and he's fixing it. (I guess I am kinda fat...)
Recently I was part of a Sweeded Movie festival (search on youtube).
We were Sweding Back to the Future and I was a chunky middle aged Biff. Anyway, I'm there with one other middle aged guy and surrounded by girls from Roanoke College... (I forgot how cool that part of this story is
)
Anyway while they are shooting a scene in the girls house a ridiculously jacked up Chevy diesel drives by. One of those 14" lift monsters. It was immaculate and as he went by he tooted an air horn and revved his engine.
College Girls: Geee, ya think he's compensating for something small with his jacked up four wheel drive?
Me: Uhmm... I got that one over there (points to my Jeep) and I assure you I'm not compensating for anything.
College Girls: yeah, but your's is a Jeep and it's got mud on it. It's a real four wheel drive and it does stuff...

Wait, I got one. When I first moved to Roanoke I was at Wal Mart. While in line for checkout I notice the guy in front of me has a drain pan, some gear oil, some form-a-gasket.
Me: Gear Change?
Him: Yeah
Me: On what?
Him: Land Rover
Me: Cool, what kind? I have a Jeep Cherokee I'm slowly building.
Him: Why don't you just save up some money and get a Rover?
Me: I have the money, I'd rather have the Jeep.
Him: Rovers are far superior (who talks like that?) to Jeeps.
Me: yeahhhhh... have fun with that gear change.
He checks out, leaves and as I'm paying for my stuff...
Checkout girl: What an *******. I love Jeeps.

He asked me if I had a body or suspension lift. He had $1k front winch and $3k worth of wheels and tires.... His parents bought all of it for him.

"Might as well have brought a prius."
I got stuck when my front driveshaft was broken. This coming from a guy with a huge TJ on 35s who stalled like 10 times throughout the night. And I got everywhere he did in 4 without a front shaft except for a boulder
