Default Used cars that last forever

So I turned on my computer this morning and went to comcast.net to check my e-mail and there was a section titled 10 used cars that last forever. So I thought to myself "well they would be wrong if they didn't list the Cherokee" and clicked on the tab. After coming to the last page of the article and the last vehicle on the list low and behold there it was the Jeep Cherokee!! WOW there must some truth in the media after all.

I found the article, the Camry was not even mentioned, but a Fiat was. A Fiat for Pete sakes! The Cherokee is the only thing on the list they got right.

Hands down the best part is the 4 Runner got mentioned almost as if it were an afterthought. I just bought my 2nd Cherokee it came to me with over 200k on it and all of my non-believing "friends" couldn't understand why I was so excited to get it or why I'm planning all my future mods

I had a 4runner that went almost 200 miles on no oil before it threw a rod

You may go fast, but I don't get stuck

Don't knock the K car. They can take a beating almost as well as a Cherokee. If not for the K car the production of the Cherokee may have ended back in 1990.
