I take it personally actually. I HATE ZJ's and it REALLY gets under my skin when people say theyre the same. I laugh at the guys at the parts store who always ask, "Is that the grand?" Once I said, "Did I SAY Grand!?" Another time the guy asks (and this guy is a MAJOR doucher and REALLY not liked around town), "That have the V6 in it?" Me, "Nope." Him, "Oh, the 4." Me, "Nope." Then he looks at me funny and asks if Ive got a home job in it. Again, "Nope." The other guy at the counter (who knows me) starts cracking up and walks away. He starts going on and on and I finally say, "Inline 6", to which he says, "Thats what I asked you first." "No you didnt, you asked if it had the V6." He then stares at me for a good 10 seconds and says, "I dont know what youre talking about." I had to explain the difference, and he REALLY didnt appreciate it. Everyone else got a good laugh though.

i'm honored.
by the way, if you're trying to search cherokees on CL include this:
(1996|1997|1998|1999|2000|2001)
that will only return results for vehicles between 1996-2001 (assuming the poster included the year). Thats a trick I use.
and of course I know cherokees were produced prior to 1996, but its just an example.
