you secretly like honda civics because they get great mpg, thus leaving more gas for your XJ to burn - plus theyre easy to park on top of when they take your parking space.
And to think, my previous vehicle (1985 Civic Hatchy). Hey I used to resemble that remark.:laugh:
I am damn GLAD to have my XJ. I know it's only a 2wd, but I'm making due.
ETA: Read all 71 pages in one sitting. OMG. Can't wait to get another XJ..
ETA: Heck this happened on the way to work tonight.
You know you drive an XJ when you have to hit a good sized pothole to bring your alternator online to put out the irritiating battery light and the needle you know is pointing in the wrong direction.
x2 on that one... you drive around with your doors off and everyone looks at you funny for doing it and your friends tell you your crazy for wanting to do it
you can unroll all of your manual windows from the driver's seat
it takes you 10 minutes to explain all of the rattles and intricacies involved in driving your jeep...and they still call you 10 minutes later to ask if it should sound as if it were about to blow up.
you're one of two people: someone with a 2-door, or someone who wishes they had bought a two door.
you're always going to "rhinoline your whole floor next time you get a chance."
When you know the location of every junkyard within 50 miles.
When you buy a reasonably priced vehicle and upgrade it with unreasonable amounts of money.
Or when you buy an unreasonably priced xj because it has a 5" lift 33's and have to go straight home cause its over heating, and immediately put 500 bucks into it to make it run at 210 degrees. And replace CPS. And ignition system.
When your freinds make fun of you for that heep and you counter with, "Ive replaced all the parts though"
When you drive with the music loud with your freinds, and quiet with yourself to diagnose the new noise
You take girls on a date and open the door for them to be a gentleman
^and because your door secretly doesnt close if you dont click the metal lever on the inside because the spring rusted though.
You crawl under the jeep to check it out after driving the highway.
You crawl under the jeep to check it out after offroading
You crawl under the jeep to check it out for no reason at all
After spending money to upgrade you dont notice it and start another search to empty your bank
Even though theres millions out there, yours is special and you get in a fight with your mom because she doesnt think it will make a 2000 mile trip and even though you would like to start over again you dont want to go without your Jeep.--even though when someone says, come on colin, lets take your jeep to the place 2 minutes up the road you dont want to because your waiting for something to go wrong

I was almost in tears when my mom had this argument with me. It was time to leave the nest for active duty and I had to make the drive from Indiana to Texas. Several gas tanks and a driveshaft/SYE upgrade later, I made it the whole 1100 miles.
when you have a box full of the broken craftsman wrenchs and screwdrivers that you broke, and need to return to get a free new one, because you were to lazy to get the PB Blaster.
then you take the tools back and they ask how you broke them and all you have to say is i have a jeep XJ and they understand perfectly.
and the casher knows you by name
