you know you drive an xj when you go somewhere with your gf and shes freaking out saying your gas light is on when you know you still got thirty more miles...

you know you drive an xj when a friend tells you to get your engine checked cause the light is on but you tell him only to worry when it goes off...

you know you drive an xj with the straight six in it when the speedo says 85 but you wrap it back around to the 5 and know it can go faster

You know you drive an XJ when you get record snowfall in Seattle and you're the only one who didn't check to see if your work closed and you show up and find you're the only one there, and you're pretty much the only one on the road on the way back. So you take take the dog out for a ride and play in the snow Last winter was awesome and no one else on my street moved their cars for days but I went everywhere, and mine was not even lifted!

You know you drive an xj when you can pick out any xj and find something better about it than yours!

You know you drive an xj when you don't have to recline your seat because your leafs are sagging at least an inch!

You know you drive an xj when you know you need to replace your leafs but instead of saving your money you buy a whole bunch of little things that bring instant gratification...for a few minutes!

You know you drive an XJ when you can pee on the people behind you with your wiper fluid

You know you can drive an XJ when you can comfortably sleep in your Jeep.

.......when you can comfortably _ _ _ _ your girlfriend in your jeep.

You know you drive an XJ when you've had it for 3 days and you're already thinking about mods more than housing, food, and your civil engineering degree.

You know you drive an XJ when you:

wobble down interstate rather than drive it

Laugh at Honda's

Call the mechanic on a weekly basis

become best friends with your mechanic

think of every possible way to make your 4.0 louder, better, and much more powerful

All in all, I love my Jeep lol

You know you drive an xj when...

-you can pull your keys out when it's running

-you can pull a perfect u turn, while spinning the tires, and not need to use reverse

-you can make four wheel drive donuts in the snow look easy

-you always park on snowbanks at the supermarket

-Your on the highway and look at the gauges, and it has 3/4 tank of gas, is overheating, has low oil pressure, and low voltage. And the tac is at 1500 and the spedometer is at 55

-you bought an amp you can hear your music when your on the highway

-your front windows dont roll all the way down but the back ones will!

-you first started to drive an xj you were freaked out by all the difrent burning smells and strange noises, now it's no big deal and you wouldnt want anything elste

-The guy at the gas station laughs cuz you buy a quart of oil whenever you fill up

You know you drive an xj when you use different forums for different tech related questions.

(Over 500 posts and still going strong. I remember this when post #1 came about.)
