How To Point Out A XJer

[Beej]

Right now we're shopping for a *gulp*, minivan...

New one on the way and apparently the XJ won't cut it for baby duty. Although I dropped half my paycheck yesterday on various baby-related items and she was in a fantastic mood on the way home.

Up the street from our house there was a gold 72 Firebird for sale and she said "Oh, look at that. That would be a fun car for you to work on." I had to look at her face carefully before I decided she was serious, and then I pulled right over and wrote down the number... wish me luck...

1) Wakes up in the morning and checks ::'s for sale forum for any new threads to see if there is something he needs yet he cannot afford to buy.
2) Checks periodicly throughout the day ::'s for sale forums for any new threads to see if there is something he needs yet he cannot afford to buy.
3) Checks one last time in ::'s for sale forum before he goes to bed only to find that there is about eight things he definatly needs yet he still can't afford to buy them but.....just for an evil minute or two he thinks to himself that he probably could buy a couple of those things if he went without electricity for about a month....then he snaps to it and thinks what the hell and sends a PM to the guys asking what it would cost to ship to his zip code JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY ONLY (yeah right) and then thinks "if shipping is only $3 bucks I'll do it and goes to bed only to get up and do it all over again.

Now that my friends I am guilty of...can you dig!

Guilty on all counts!

The wife can have her minivan, as long as it's under warranty and I'm not expected to work on it. Of course, she expects that my Jeep will never go to the shop. Heaven forbid that the Jeep should cost anything, despite the fact that her van is costing $300/month.

A Firebird? Do you really want to work on a Firebird? The classic car shop down here in Conroe has been advertising a 440 Sixpack 'Cuda. I'm sure your wife wouldn't mind a road trip to pick up something for you to work on.

Obviously she isn't 'fiancee' or 'wife' yet...

My wife would rip my skin off and make doilies with it if I even attempted to get her to recognize XJ's...

ahhh, see? you've got to train them early before there's any comitment involved, and if they learn quick enough, then they're keepers.

You get piping mad at the parts store when they ask you "Grand Cherokee?" when you specifically said "Cherokee" or XJ.

or you say "No, A Real Cherokee."

Go for the Tahoe. It'll tow the XJ.

My wife just conceded that we don't have 3 cars.(exactly) We just have an "OHV" that'll do 80 on the highway. I hope that leaves the door open for another vehicle. She get really anxious when we've got 4.
