When your one and only comfortable place is your jeep. It makes me feel like I did when I started building her. Not the way I feel when she yells at me.....

You know your an xj owner when:
You get called to your sons school cause he was fighting. Another kid said his dads wrongler was better than my xj. And while in the principals office (with the other kid and his dad) he asks "so witch one is better" and you debate with the guy for 20 mins and it escalades so much that the principal sent us all out of his office and says on the way out "I like yours better honestly" true story

Omg me too, I have a squeak in the driver side back seatbelt retractor and I have used every grease known to man and it only stops squeaking for like two weeks and it comes back.... I just turn up the radio now and ignore it...

I asked for it by leaving it there a day and a night...

And I try to avoid them, as they arent campus security.

They are campus police.
