Someone asks "what kinda jeep do you have?"
Me: A Cherokee.
Other person: "Oh you drive a Cherokee!" followed by laughter.

 

2nd Date:

We met for our fist date. She drove her car, I drove mine. I picked her up for our second date.

Her: What's that smell?
Me: What smell?
Her: It smells
Me: Oh

A few seconds pass in silence... I notice her moving her purse (which probably cost 10 times more than my Jeep) between her feet then looking around, confused.

Her: Do the windows roll down?
Me: [LOL] Yeah, they roll down.
Her: Okay, HOW do you roll the windows down?
Me: You have to turn the crank, they're manual.
Her: The "crank"? I don't know a lot about cars.

She lifts her arms up and looks around, I point to the crank.
She grabs the **** on the end of the crank between her thumb and finger and twists it. Nothing happens and she looks confused. At this point, I was already heading back to where I picked her up. I pull up to the curb in front of her apartment, reach across and open the door for her (which goes flying open because the little thing that prevents that from happening fell off). I thank her for the most entertaining 5 minute date ever and we part ways with a mutual sigh of relief.

 

Offer a trade for a Grand Cherokee


I have to ask how old she was. How does one not know about manual windows?

Good story lol

 

Privileged life never had manual anything I bet

 

I got all of these in one conversation.

Person: what kind of car do you have?

Me: I drive a jeep

Person: oh cool so you have a wrangler?

Me: nope I drive a cherokee.

Person: oh so it's not really a jeep... Can you 4 wheel in those?

I walked away after that.

 

"I need a (such and such) part for a 96 Jeep Cherokee"
The same parts store I go to about twice a week.

"Is that a GRAND Cherokee"

"No it's JUST some old Cherokee"

I know this is nothing new but DAMN does it bug me

 

She was 27 and I definitely wasn't dating her for her intelligence but even I have my limits. On our first date we walked to a bar after dinner for a drink. On every TV in the place the UFC was blaring so loud you could barely hear yourself think. At one point, they introduced Cheick Congo...

Announcer guy: Aaaaaand fighting out of Paris, France with a record of blah blah blah... Cheeeeeeeeeick Cooooooooonnnnnngo!

In my peripheral vision I noticed that my date seemed agitated so I asked her what's wrong.

Her: I'm just a little bit confused.
Me: About what?
Her: Never mind, it's dumb.
Me: Oh I'm sure it's not dumb.
Her: Well, I guess I just... I didn't know they had black people in France.

Half of the rum in my mouth at the time came out my nose and the other half went down my windpipe, causing me to cough violently.

Yes, I'm quite sure she had never been in anything with manual... anything.

 

This happened a few years ago...

I'm in Chicago after a day at the Cliffs and my Jeep is covered in mud. I'm sitting at a red light when a young kid in a lowered BMW and a car full of his friends pull up next to me. They all look over and as the light turns green the driver shouts out to me "Wash your car!" Huh? That was the first and only time the "It's a Jeep thing" saying popped into my mind.

 

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future"

 

I went to look at a cherokee yesterday. When we got there the owner told me that it had the reliable 4.0 inline v6. Just said ok and kept looking. Funny thing is he's not the first it's amazing how many people say that.

 

Please tell me that isn't the only reason you turned it down...

 

BMW = douche.

I had a girl in my class offer to clean my Jeep for a price. Needless to say topless wasn't happening. So I said no. Though that might seem bad I know. Mother nature did it for free anyways.

 

96 Jeep XJ, 7" in front 6.5" in rear, 35" tires.....

"Oh neat, can you buy them that way?" - Retarded "High Scholar" at Stanford..

This is why I hate the Bay Area..

 

Definitely not the only reason. It was covered in rust, the door was falling off and he didn't have a battery on it so I couldn't hear it run. The rust problems, door and the fact that it had been previously wrecked was hidden from me till I got there and asked/looked. So at that point I didn't trust anything he had to say.

 

That happened to me once. The xj was junk so I just walked off instead. Lol
