You know you own a CJ when...

[chevygurl]

You realize that the name really tells it all....
Just Empty Every Pocket !

 

[jzak]

When you feel bad for the majority of Americans. People who spend their lives driving domesticated Honda Accords, and Suburbans. People who think the only thing important in a car is reliability, good gas mileage, and more airbags. People who will never understand a vehicle can do more then just drive you to Starbucks for your double Latte. It can be FUN! I word completely alien for these lost souls.

 

[jzak]

When you're conflicted, becuase you want to push your CJ to the limit, but you also dont want to hurt your baby!

 

[Hedgehog]

When your driving down the highway, everything is humming along nicely and a stray thought crosses one side of your mind ..... "This is almost boring." and the other side jumps up and kicks his ***.

 

[Petescj]

When your local Napa puts out an Amber Alert cause you didnt drop by this week.

A few years ago Portland, Oregon had an unusual (for Portland) snow event that lasted about two weeks. Portland is a city that is better versed in storm water management from all the rain (and there is some debate on that capability when sewer spills into the Willamette River during a hard rain) rather than snow removal so the side streets are never plowed leaving the citizens to get to their rigs to the main streets on their own when it does snow. After a couple of days of snow one of the local news station went looking for disgruntles to interview over the lack of side street plowing and they came upon this guy who was about as mad as a wet hen on the subject. This guy quoted, “I can’t even drive down the street without getting stuck and I drive a Subaru!” The accumulated snow on the streets was only about a foot, maybe less; I had to shout back at the TV, “You should have bought a Jeep head! (A Subaru is a granola head badge of honor out here)

..... your 8 year old granddaughter gets more excited about riding a forest trail in the Jeep than about Santa Claus coming.

[Hedgehog]

Why is it that the one thing that can frustrate you so very much is the one thing that grounds you enough to make it all worth while...

 

[mstar]

Last summer while the gas attendant was filling the jeep she got this look and ask if it was legal to drive without doors.:grinjeep: mike

 

[TexasBlues]

When youre lying on your back... on the floor of the JEEP... completely defeated... see the clock, realize its 3:17 AM... and you say to yourself...

[GARGOYLEJEEPER]

When you have to put a "NOT FOR SALE" sign on you Jeep to keep people from pulling you over to ask "Is your Jeep for sale".

 

[somedude922]

When your 6 yr old son tells someone their JKU is a bolt on jeep and his daddies is a built on jeep.

 

[Hedgehog]

When somebody needs to tell you how many parts they destroyed in their 1965 CJ5 after they put in a SBC 327......

 

[gr8dain]

When your Jeep club is in a Christmas parade and you hear from the crowd "That's the only REAL Jeep in the bunch"

When I bought my CJ in early '89, I did get a few comments like how much larger and heavier it was than the older models. Plus, how it had a computer in it, go figure.

 

[hondo]

when you would rather drive 30 miles without doors in 50 degree wether in the cj, then take the heated car. but when asked why you can't explain.
