"It seems like youll never get that thing done. Why don't you sell it and by xy or z?"

"Why did you lift it? Stock is stock for a reason" (one of THE stupidest things I have ever heard ever)

"Cherokees are stupid. Look at the new ones. The old ones must be just as bad"

Also a very stupid thing I over heard.

When I go to the autozone for a part and they ask me if I have a Cherokee or a Grand Cherokee, after I tell them its a 1991 Cherokee, I act all shocked and tell them I have no idea and ask them to come take a look at my xj to tell me what it is. I can kind of understand their screen prompts them cherokee or grand cherokee for 1993+ but 1991 shouldn't have the option for Grand, they just automatically ask so I give them a ride.

That's like the infamous 2001 XJ 2.5L that doesn't exist, but I was always asked about.

"2 door or 4 door"

Folks ask "Ya been out in the mud?" (Duh. My Jeep always has some mud on it, at least on the tires.)

Sometimes I tell 'em, "Y'know how cars nowadays have a GPS? Mine has a 'mud-finder'!"

And other times I tell 'em, "Yeah, I have a service that comes around and sprays mud on my Jeep so it looks like I have a more interesting life than I actually do!"

And then there's the old reliable, "Well, you don't wash a Jeep, you just dunk it every so often!"

I spray paint the mud onto my Jeep.

Quote: 3)

1) "How come you always have your hood up? Is your Jeep broken down all the time?"

Ever consider living in Orlando Florida? Don't.
I was cleaning my throttle body, and my bro in law, who just bought a new fwd compass asks "whats wrong with it now". I asked "why do you assume theres something wrong?" He says "why dont you trade that thing in".

He also told my wife it looks stupid lifted. Like a tonka truck. Seriously set me off. I was on fire for a couple hours.

he said a while back he wants to body lift his zj. when I told him he couldnt, its unibody, he wanted to argue. So I told him to climb under there and show me where hes ganna stick a body lift.

Wouldn't even argue just agree,yeah uh huh yup body lift sure,you just have to look really hard.then I'd make up fake names and parts for him to look up online for it,maybe compare it to real parts for wrangler body lift,let him waste his own time an not yours hahaha.

Age does change our perspective on things. I let people say what they think. Disregard what I want. Then if I give a ****, I will research it myself.
