You know you drive an xj when your flyin down the highway passing people and look down at your speedometer and your doing 140kms (80miles) and think to yourself not that you should slow down but wow I can't believe it will go this fast with no shakes smells shimies or weird noises.


You know you drive an xj when your flying along the highway on your way to play a gig and you spot an awesome patch of mud in a field and actually consider pulling off the road unloading the thousands of dollars worth of amps guitars drums etc. that is perfectly packed to fit just to go play in the mud.

You know you drive an XJ when you use it to crush boxes. Did this a couple times at work, including tonight. My brother laughed his butt off.

When some random guy offers to buy it off you, even though it's just a stock 2wd with 194k on it, and you can't do it because then you wouldn't have an XJ.

Looks like I'm keeping this one until I get a 4wd

When you seriously consider buying another one. I mean, honestly, the bank won't be -that- upset at one missed mortgage payment, right?

you know you drive an XJ when you spend 2/3rds of the money you have for the next two weeks after rent on steel, cutting wheels and tools to begin a bumper build. Then you realize you might have to go without food for a day or two, shrug and say to yourself "I've waited 9 months to start this, whats a couple days without food?"

Yes I really did this, I have enough money to buy gas to get to and from work and buy food at work but not really any extra. hahaha

You know you drive an XJ, when unlike most other vehicles, power tools such as drills, and angle grinders are required while working on your vehicle, and you're proud of this.

You know you drive an XJ when you never get tired of the looks, comments and conversations that arise from your doorless Cherokee.

You know you drive an XJ when you here your email notification go off, and you get up hoping it's "you know you drive an XJ when," just to read the new posting you can relate to. PS an XJ will run with a Mustang.
