Didn't really think about it much. Stupid people are everywhere. Look at all of the laws being passed and the way people drive and the stuff they watch on television. It's pretty easy to come to the conclusion that most people are lucky to be capable enough to find their own *** with both hands. Or wipe it properly without help.[/cynicism]

Because there was no SUV classification untill mid to late 90's.

My wife keeps suggesting she needs a Szhitsoo puppy and I need a new car???
Is that supposed to be some kind of negotiation or incentive?
And then where would my little puppies ride?
I asked Nyala and Yogi about the deal. They just smacked their lipps.
Ooo, Szhitsoo, Yummm.
WTF is this, some kind of Jeeptervention?
Obviously I just gotta get the wife more involved. Why'd she think Santa brought her those rubber boots for XMas?
Next time we're stuck in the mud I'll be the gracious gentleman and let her hook up the extraction straps.
Tell her to just release that Szhitsoo out front. Team Nyala/Yogi will pull stronger than a 12K winch.

In an unrelated topic to this thread.

While I was at basic, for a reason still unknown to me. One of the females in my platoon came up to me and told me about how one female spent their fireguard shift teaching another girl how to properly wipe her ****.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread posting.

3) "Are you still driving that old truck?"

2) "Why is your car always dirty? It looks like you don't take care of it. Look at his truck, its always clean."

1) "How come you always have your hood up? Is your Jeep broken down all the time?"

Ever consider living in Orlando Florida? Don't.

A "shooting brake" is only in reference to a 2-door. A 4-door would still be considered a wagon.
