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? Smile

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. Smile

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.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

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