Yea everyone was fine. It flipped on its side onto a hill and bounced back onto the wheels. I drove it out of the ditch, changed a flat tire, and then drove it 7 miles home lol. And thats the plan for the future is to trail rig but for now the money is going towards the 99

Dang still sucks though. After i get my 99 regeared the jeep projects have to get put on hold for awhile so i can start investing money and time into my 68 firebird. I love my trail rigs but a weekend cruiser is a must have too. I'm all about jeeps and old muscle.

Don't see too many first gen firebirds and i wanted something that wasn't as common as camaros and mustangs tend to be. Found out from picking up my firebird that people love to clone them into camaros, thats why you don't see too many of them. I'm keeping my bird a bird, no way would i turn a car into something it's not. It's not as beautiful now as it will be comeday but i love the 1gen fbody lines, class like that is gone in new cars anymore and it's a shame but it makes the old ones worth hanging on to even more.

You know you drive an XJ when you have to be up at 7... yet I'm typing this at 2:30 in the morning...

I also spend more time on these apps than any other app/website.(:

Modern cars are designed to absorb impact and protect the occupants. You are much safer in a modern "plastic" car than you are in any car designed before current crash test standards. Of course the only plastic parts are cosmetic, there are no structural parts made from plastic. That said, I hear the Cherokee XJ holds up well in collisions.
YKYDAXJW every time you stop at a gas station when there's snow on the ground, at least one person makes the comment "Man I bet you're glad you're driving that on a day like today!"

Its like how I feel much safer in my friend's lifted Ford on 38s. Mostly because of 90% of vehicles hit it, they will get destroyed by the frame, bumpers, or tires without even touching the body.

YKYDAXJW every note your sub hits makes something different rattle in the back, and you can identify each sound without turning around.
