Better than calling it a mini van. I mean, really. How many mini vans have you seen with 6 inches of lift and 33's?

i understand why they ask is it a cherokee or grand cherokee but it is annoying when you tell them a jeep cherokee straight 6 and the year and they either still ask if its a cherokee or grand or they put it in the system automatically as a grand cherokee

I feel you. But they have "Jesus Clips" on all the coolant hoses! And the lighting sucks if they aren't HID. I love the LR2 and LR3 (Freelander = 2 and Discovery = 3). Don't get the old one! The 03 has the BMW Engine and I thing the newer ones have a ford model engine. Btw, ask anyone about the "Jesus Clips" and they will have more stories than common problems on an XJ. I know someone that has 4 and wants a Wrangler after driving my XJ.

I'd get a tattoo of my XJ on my chest, before I get a LR2!

I get the cupholder question everytime a woman gets in my 92, or a younger cousin or nephew.

Also, "why won't my door open?" Me: "this isn't your Mercedes, use some muscle."
