My father-in law hates my Cherokee because it can go anywhere.....he always says: here comes the Station Wagon. I hate that he calls it that!

So now every time he gets stuck, I yell, time to breat out the "WRV"....Wrangler Recovery Vehicle! I think I'm going to put that on the back. It really fires him up!

The other day at work I was talking to a guy, that acts like he knows everything about vehicles, about my jeep.

He asked me which v8 I have in it.

Me: I don't have a v8.

Him: you got to cause of the way the exhaust sounds.

Me: I have a inline 6.

Him: damn a v6 sounds like that?

Me: NO an INLINE 6.

Him: dodge never put a strait 6 in them.

I turned around and walked off shaking my head.

Maybe I'm just a grouch, but this happens every time I go to McDonalds after I go wheeling.

Employee: "Did you go mudding?" "You got a little dirty!" "Looks like you had some fun."

Myself: I look out the window and glance at the side of the Jeep, "Oh, I must have hit a mud puddle. :/"

Lol yeah he was right but that doesn't happen very often. He's the type of person that you can talk to for only a few minutes before he becomes a now it all. He does know some stuff about vehicles but just enough to make him look like an idiot if he keeps on talking. Our conversation lasted for about 20 minutes and it had gotten to the point to were I had enough of him and I had to walk off.
