I chose the Cherokee. Figured I'd share my love story for my XJ with all you good people. Late April, rig wasn't ready for the Blessing of the Jeeps here in Michigan, so I had to choose. Spend the NIGHT BEFORE the blessing either schmoozing my girlfriend around to make her feel important, or weld the things I needed to in order to have my Cherokee ready for the 350 mile trip, and the offroad abuse that would ensue. Cherokee won. I'd make the same choice 1,000 times over. Hahaha.

 

I spy another YKYDAXJW.

 

Lol, didn't even think of that thread!!! Just was thinking, "Wow, I really do love my XJ." And figured I'd post. haha

 

good choice, if your anything like me the xj will outlast any women that you have around

 

I think that normally you should spend time with the girl... normally. Fix the jeep... eventually they leave or get accustom to it and just sit in the garage handing you tools... just make sure it's not a really sharp tool.

 

For a 1 year with a girlfriend, I say you may pay for it, but it's not that big of a deal to not take her out on the town. If it was your 1 year of marriage though, then you'd be wrong to spend it on the XJ. As much as I love my XJ, my wife does come first. That's the way it should be.

 

X2 on this . Don't want to pi$$ the wifey off that's for sure

 

X2 she can take half your stuff the gf cant

 

We all know that's right they get that ring and its all over with Honey Do list begins

 

Good choice on the Jeep. You're 18, so, as far as I can tell with teenagers these days, she probably spent the evening sexting with a congressman or something....

 

Most relationships at that age are short lived anyways... so go for the jeep

 

Lmao that's a good one maybe ex senator weiner or Clinton

 

Hahaha. All funny replies. And you guessed it, I broke up with her like the week after I got home from the blessing. (I had everyone up there like "WHAT??? You'll be single when you get home!") Might be terrible, but I have so much more time and money for the Jeep now, and it's wonderful. Then again, she was kind of terrible too, so it works out.

 

OP You made the right choice!

 

Lol, I sure believe I did Razor. And hey, I love your build thread.
