you know you drive an xj when...

you spend all your free time thinking about mods instead of studying
you refuse going to the bar with your friends inorder to save for mods
you pass up a hair cut because you know you will need the money for the xj.
when your carpet and insulation hangs out through the rust holes in ur floor.
your last thought before you close ur eyes at night is what can i do to it tomorrow that is cheap.
you spend more time on here then you do on facebook
you list your mods as a status update on facebook
you get most of your mod ideas in tractor supply and homedepot

That's my brother. He drives a VW Jetta and is always telling me bad things about my XJ, but still asks to borrow it when he wants to go to the beach or if it is raining and it floods.

.... when even tho your XJ is deadlined... even worse, is watching next weeks episode of Mythbusters off the intenet.... [season 8 episode 24 - Reverse Engineering] it's heartbreaking. You have been warned.

you know you have an xj when all your pants have holes in the back pocket/beltloop area from catching them on the door latch pin when getting in the xj.

I know! They are destroying more and more good cars rather then the old crapboxes they used to test on.

also you know you drive an xj when a big band cd has less individual sounds then your xj.

you know you drive an xj when: you spend two days and an unknown amount of hours reading the whole thread.
...... when you almost cry when you hit a deer not because of bambi but the damage to the xj.
.... when you spend your mortgage payment on parts for it....
..... when your family asks to see you because you haven't been to a family dinner in six months because you are working on the xj.
..... when going out with your girlfriend includes the stipulation of no wheeling and a washed exterior and cleaned interior..... like that will happen!
.... when instead of fixing the real hatch gas shocks you just put a bigger lift on it.

and of course your driving an xj when your top site visited for the last year + is to cherokeeforum.com
