You know what bothers me? When some says, "How's your car?" I always say, "You mean, my Jeep?" Or, "What type of car you drive?" My reply, "I drive a Jeep!" Does a jeep look like a freaking car?

I can't say car and jeep in the same sentence. It's an oxymoron in my eyes!

Oldest daughter tells me (while driving my XJ) that it's not as smooth as driving my youngest daughter's ZJ. Is my Peep being dissed or complimented?

I'm gonna call mine a truck, because the "actual" trucks get stuck! My 89 was bouncing through the bad snow in 05/06 in Bergen county. The plow garbage truck got stuck at 10 mph. I was laughing. Then I got my ambulance stuck about 3 miles from the office.

The best vehicle ever made, before the Army vehicles....... The XJ! the power, ability and even the ease to repair/swap and add, makes it the best!

I haven't been in a Jeep since 06. They bounce and sway too much. It's probably better in the new one. XJ's are the best. I would rather stuff my 6'4 self in the backseat with two other tall people, than ride in any vehicle.

The new grand wagoner is what will really sway my opinion.
