The first wife insisted that she was gonna get a green Mercedes wagon when she got rich since that would show the world that she was rich and just didn't care what others thought.

Man, I could use something like that right now even though it looks a little silly.
I had to leave my 73 GMC down the road because it couldnt make it up the hill.

GF's been driving my Jeep and has told me stories of passing people in ice & driving in over 12" of snow to get around stranded vehicles. The XJ is a very capable vehicle

Buddy of pulled up yesterday in a military hummer and sporting a huge grin on his face. He'd been driving around the neighbourhood helping people out who got stuck in the ice.
