I thought it was a well kept secret that a windshield sticker that said Civic would give 1,000,000 HP and 4,000,000,000 Ft Lbs of torque. That's on Hondas only, divide those numbers by 2 for any other car.

you know you drive an xj when something tears up and you know you can fix it but all your non xj driving buddies tell you to leave it alone and call a mechanic... what they dont know, you drive one of the easiest modified easiest workable vehicles/engines ever made........

Doorless driving is better driving

Theres a thread like this on another forum.. I thought it would be fun to have it here too..
Ill start
You know you drive an when:
You hit your head on the hatch all the time in winter because the gas shocks are too weak..
"What's that burning smell" is a common passenger statement
When your radios main purpose is to cover up random noises.
When you turn down the radio and tell everyone to shut up because you think you heard a new noise.
your check engine light on means everything okay
Or you have a renix, and there is no check engine light even though it should/would be on if there was one...
you call wranglers "wronglers"
You **** off ricers at the stop light because your jeep sounds cooler than their pos car and/or You beat them off the line with a lift and >30" tires
Someone says "do you feel that" and youre like "What?!"
You know you drive an xj when you start your renix jeep and your friends ask questions like:
Is it supposed to crank that long?
Why is it so loud?
Whats that smell?
Is it supposed to make that Knocking sound?
Or when you accidentally say to someone who owns a car:
Isnt that *random item* in your jeep? Ugh.. I mean car!
What do you guys have?

You know you drive an XJ, when you can find its exact twin.
There's someone in my town, driving around in a '91 white 2 door, with the same exact rust pattern as mine.
Parked next to him one day, at the gas station, and had an hour long conversation about cherokees, and how jeep has crippled every truck they've produced after 2001 (excluding wranglers)
Then we got told to leave, haven't seen him since.
You know you drive an xj, when your praying to the car gods that the mudhole you just drove through, didn't rip off your rocker panels.
