14 years 6 months old February 3rd 2002 I got a 1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo.
Red
4 Door
4.0
5 spd
4x4
243K miles when I got it.
It died for good the summer before my senior year. It had 298K the rings were totally shot on it. If I knew then what I know now I would have kept it haha. I tried to find it last year to buy it back. I found out the the last owner gave it away to a kid that then took it to scrap metal yard. UGHHHHH haha.
So when it was time to build and off road rig my decision on what vehicle I wanted was rather simple. I have always missed that thing.

25 I believe. About 3 years ago. I had a couple cars before that and finally decided I had to have something useful.

I was 15 three months shy of being 16. Bought it from a family friend who was gonna take it to the dealership for the cash for clunkers they said they would give him 500 for it so he sold it to me for 500. 1994 xj One owner 189k miles 4.0L 4x4. Have had it for 6 years now almost on the dot. Now has 227k miles on it and still purrs like a kitten. (2 fender benders and a 4wheel "oops" later)
