...when at the gas station you have to press down on the back of the nozzle so it continues to fill up and not engage the safety gas cutoff too early.

Last year at school we kind of made this parking lot thing across the street from my school on some property that wasnt the schools so we could have things that could have been considered inappropriate. Well it just started out as like me and 4 other people and it turned into like 50 or so. One day my friend with a YJ parked in front of a tree so i thought it would be funny to take his winch and wrap the cable around the tree that was like 20 feet in front of him, assuming he would back up. Well of course he didnt and was trying to show off and took off really fast turning toward the right so then when he crossed over the cable it pulled tight and almost flipped his jeep. He got really mad blah blah blah and then fixed the cable and drove off to the lower school parking lot. Well there is a 90 degree turn in the road and when he got to that he turned left and his rear driver wheel came off and rolled away into this really shallow creek and he was just riding on a drum until he could get to the side of the road. The lug nuts got sheered off and broke which caused it to roll away and of course he blamed it on me...

That wasn't an XJ. It was a Grand Cherokee. I guess it wasn't Airport Rated.

Thats what I thought. Didnt look boxy enough to be an XJ....leave it to the news to say Cherokee, when the mean Grand Cherokee, Ive seen it several times, dumb news.
You know you drive an XJ when you have 2 straight 6's....1 in the jeep and one getting rebuild or stroked
