Maybe get it attached to a better boyfriend?
Or girlfriend, as it were...

The Jeep will be attached to me. Boyfriend (or girlfriend) will associate themselves with it or not. I come with the Jeep, I go with the Jeep. That's that.

But say they were an awesome boyfriend/girlfriend that could be called 'a keeper'... wouldn't it be great if they came with a free epic Jeep?

Of course, but I've learned that things can be taken away if you give people power over them. So I try to minimize that.

A well set up CJ with a 401 is a pretty amazing machine. So are Land Cruiser FJ40s with Chevy 350s.

I used to own a Vega like that. Not surprisingly, girlfriends, or even friends, would not attach themselves to me.
And that was a darn good car - put 230,000 miles on it before I sold it.
Now I am moving up - looking to buy a Smart, colored in plaid. (there's a real sexy car for you.)

A Jeep is a whole different beast.

I had a '95 four banger. The tranny was shite (like most '95's), but she was a damn mud pirate. She was black, her license plate said "Dirty Deeds" and she was named after the pirate queen Anne Bonny.
When I lived in NoVA, they were tearing up so much earth to build houses that we'd have a huge new mudhole every month. We were banned from every car wash in Manassas.
I'd love to get a '97... dark blue if I could, and name her Alice. A friend of mine would like to get one and set it up for beach cruising, but I'm a mud and back-country kind of gal. I suppose I'd have to do more extreme things if I came out west and did rock crawling or some of the harder trails, but around here I just need to be able to escape a bit.

Yeah, out here, there is a huge Jeep culture, and horsepower and torque are kings.

Hehehe, i never understood the jeep people. I have an extremely old yamaha, 600cc, big fat mud tires on it, and that thing can go anywhere. Hell, it'd climb a straight rock face (but leave me at the bottom). Built a little jimmy-rigged snorkel for the exhaust, its mah swamp bike.

It's a Jeep thing. You wouldn't understand.
