YKYDAXJ when you have gotten into fights numerous times when someone tries to vandalize/hurt your XJ

YKYDAXJ when you get into a "beef" with the little ricer kids and they surround you and block you in and you shout "move or ill make my own exit!" and then you start to move forward and they move out of your way.

YKYDAXJ when you let no one else drive her

YKYDAXJ when you're referred to as "The Jeep guy" by the high school kids that didnt know you during school

YKYDAXJW you name it after your ex girlfriends to further express the love-hate relationship.

YKYDAXJW you have several BFH's and a 4 foot cheater pipe in your tool chest. =)

YKYDAXJW when you hear another XJ drive by and you can diagnose at least 3 problems he's having with his, cuz you've been there.
And you're tempted to chase him down and offer to help, even if it takes all night.

Hey, if you don't have a love-hate relationship with your Xj, than it's not doing its' job...


YKYDAXJW you purchase the best plan AAA has to offer, which allows you 10 free 100 mile tows a year and your scared you will run out. =\

YKYDAXJW you fear driving in the rain, but feel confident driving in snow.

(I don't know about you guys, but every Xj I've driven has had a difficult time holding traction in the rain)

I have three people that won't ride with me in the Jeep if it's raining cause I fishtail every corner and powerslide into my parking lot
DISCLAIMER: I don't do that stuff when there are other cars around

Haha, I drive like a grandpa in the rain until I find a nice wide, flat, open corner. Offramps are the worst with a lunchbox locker.... I get 3/4 of the way through the offramp with full traction, then all the sudden the rear grabs posi and kicks out.

YKYDAXJW you have to disconnect the sensor for your washer fluid because even though it's full, the light on the dashboard is stuck on.

YKYDAXJW You have a dummy light on your dash for low washer fluid, but nothing to tell you your door or hatch is open.

YKYDAXJW Your parts list is at least 4x the size of your grocery list.
