talking to a teacher about a '93
her: What year is it?
me: its a '93
teacher: (has a look like its a pile of junk)
me: long discussion (im the only one talking) about how just because a vehicle is 18 yrs old does NOT mean that it is a pile of junk. We will just say she got after 15 min. and decided to walk away.

I called Miller's Salvage today to see about an A/C Clutch and the first thing she asked me was, and I quote:

"What Kind of Cherokee is it?"

"An XJ."

"So it's A Classic or is it a Grand?"

I got asked by the guy at the salvage yard I called a week or so ago if my Cherokee was a Sport (I think, or something like this, maybe "regular") or a Laredo! I just quietly put my face in my palm and after a moment said, "regular Cherokee." I mean really? A Laredo isn't even it's own model vehicle, it's a trim package on a Grand Cherokee, separate from my "regular" Cherokee.

You know that they made XJ Laredos right? They were made from the early 80s all the way up to 92. I own one.

its funny how with modern GC they have the limited, laredo and overlander package. Even in the early 2000s did they ever carry over a classic, sport or any other xxj models
