Yeah, it's like that... It is a Jeep thing, but WE understand!
I like that one.

The guy behind the parts counter asked what vehicle you have... you say Cherokee... he asks "Grand Cherokee?" you somehow resist the urge to beat the crap out of him.

To take it one further.... You know you drive an XJ when...

You become offended when people call their Grand Cherokee a Cherokee.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!!!

You know you drive an XJ when you want to sell it and get another vehicle, but then you go outside and look at it and feel guilty

You know you drive an xj when you think of the grandcherokee as the ugly step sister to the xj

you know you drive an xj when you have a freshly rebuilt eclipse awd stick in the garage that gets about 26+mpg but would rather drive the xj that gets 20-21
