YKYDAXJW...
You're house hunting and you have this conversation with a realtor (brought on by our XJ just barely clearing a friend's garage door)...
ME: How high is the standard garage door opening?
REALTOR: Um, I'm not sure, about 7 or 8 feet I think... Why?
ME: My wife is house shopping, but I'm garage shopping and wondering if my Jeep will fit.
REALTOR: You must have a pretty tall Jeep.
ME: I'm 6'02" and I have to climb UP into it.
REALTOR: Wow.

I'm not that good with car electrical stuff." "Me neither, but thanks. Call me when you get stuck"

YKYDAXJ when you're at work, and you end up at a cell tower site with a pretty steep dirt road and regret not driving your XJ to have some fun. So you take your E-250 work van up here anyway...gettin down in reverse will be fun later.

ykydaxj when your mom wants you to clean up some big tree branches in the yard and she says to bring some friends to help. And all I do is get out my strap, pull my Jeep up and drag them to the firepit.
