Probably already been said, but it dawned on me a few days ago. YMDAXJ if you put more money into your Cherokee than you bought it for. Having bought mine for 2 grand, and realizing I've probably put more into it was kinda funny.

You might drive an XJ if you've hit your own windshield with rocks thrown from your own tires.

...when you try to start your work vehicle while it's already running because you're used to a rough, noisy ride.

I bought mine for $1000. So far, in repairs alone, I'd estimate my total to be around $3,000.

For mods? $500

I wish those numbers could be reversed

when you have chipped the inside of your rear window and dented the inside of the b-pillar with golf ball sized rocks thrown from your own tire, along with almost breaking your passenger's nose the same way. wheeling doorless has dangers lol
