You know I've been craving a Jeep for a few weeks now. Liz, you were the voice of reason! And for a while, I listened! I listened to the voice of common sense (except when it comes to stereos), and I listened to a voice telling me to quell the inner deer-killing Jeep owner that wanted out!
But the simple fact of the matter is ... Well, on Tuesday, a former coworker stopped by, and guess what? He was driving an '02 Wrangler. Took it for a spin around the parking lot. Today, a current coworker showed up in his new (to him) '03 Wrangler. He was smart, and didn't let me drive it.
But it's feeding the thirst, man! This is TRULY an addiction. You can get a new car, you can get a new love, but you never EVER get over your first Jeep. You've probably heard the saying, "It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand." And it is ABSOLUTELY TRUE! When I first sold my beautiful deer slaying machine, I was happy - I'd just avoided paying an ASSLOAD for new repairs, and I got a sweet looking fast 5-speed sports car which saved me an ASSLOAD (my new favorite word) in gas mileage! What could be better?
I'm a Jeep owner. And I always have been. It is my fate in life, and it is my destiny. I am one with the Jeep, and I will wave to other Jeep owners, dammit.
I looked online, talked to my insurance agent, then stopped by Don White's Timonium Chrysler Plymouth Dealership ... looked at a nice, beautiful, GORGEOUS, silver '04 Wrangler SE - 5-speed manual transmission, tinted windows, soft-top, half-doors, all-black interior with faux leather, CD player ... and it was so affordable ...

Man, the insurance on that thing must have gone through the roof!
Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be selling my Jeep. Even though it's a '98 with only 50,000 miles on it, & drives like a charm, I just don't have the time or facilities to keep up with the car care for it. Plus the fact that it sits in the parking lot 90% of the time while I drive my Corolla to work.

Snay, you almost got dead - I was gonna kill ya! It was a close one!
As long as you're only buying scale models, we'll be fine... the second you get a REAL Jeep though... expect a phone call and a stern tone of voice from me

YOU BOUGHT A CAR OVER E-BAY??? ARE YOU CRAZY?
"you could give it to me, I'll pay in Lego..."
That's the sweetest and funniest thing I've heard from you in a long time. Just the right touch of lack of dignity, it's almost SA-material.

Snay, do NOT let the cash allowances steer you. I'm serious. Or the 0% APR. You're not thinking clearly... don't do it!!!!!!!
