EXACT same way with my dorms. and the "walk of shame" isn't a fun one, I unfortunately have had to make that walk haha. The worst of which was when all of the friends were in her living room... All you can do is look down and walk straight ahead.

And I've killed a few pairs of Polo shorts with the mud, now I have the perfect technique while getting in/out to make sure nothing gets on my pants haha.

I like how I can gamble with the remote start. It either catches on the first try, the second try or not at all.

Actually I hate that but not so much that I'd screw with such a complicated system.

-When i had to have a friend come with me when i took the old woody wagon out. Someone had to turn the key while i was underneath wailing on the starter with a hammer
-when it took 15 mins to put 5 bucks of gas in cuz the gas tank pipe was crushed from the powerline trails
-when the suckers in the back seat would get muddier than if they were standing behind the jeep
-when i wrecked it and sold it to the junkyard for more than what i paid for it ;-)

XJs, like some other Jeeps, always feel taller because the tub lip you have to step over when you open the door.

Yes it is. Anyone who was stuck behind me on the way out of the school parking lot was going to be a victim

My favorite quirk is when the dash gets warm enough from the heater, one of the fittings will expand to a certain point and go *BANG*. It's made a few people jump.
