My father-in law hates my Cherokee because it can go anywhere.....he always says: here comes the Station Wagon. I hate that he calls it that!
So now every time he gets stuck, I yell, time to breat out the "WRV"....Wrangler Recovery Vehicle! I think I'm going to put that on the back. It really fires him up!

The other day at work I was talking to a guy, that acts like he knows everything about vehicles, about my jeep.
He asked me which v8 I have in it.
Me: I don't have a v8.
Him: you got to cause of the way the exhaust sounds.
Me: I have a inline 6.
Him: damn a v6 sounds like that?
Me: NO an INLINE 6.
Him: dodge never put a strait 6 in them.
I turned around and walked off shaking my head.

Maybe I'm just a grouch, but this happens every time I go to McDonalds after I go wheeling.
Employee: "Did you go mudding?" "You got a little dirty!" "Looks like you had some fun."
Myself: I look out the window and glance at the side of the Jeep, "Oh, I must have hit a mud puddle. :/"
