Snow, no Show, yes Snow!!

Oh My Gawd!! I used to hate the snow when I had to shovel it!! hahaha Now I just drive over it!! I'm sure my neighbor who I share a drive way with hates it even more now that I'm not out there plowing the shared part with my mower. Ah well, after blowing up the engine in the last one and then not getting any help from them, fug 'em... *I* and now Frannie can get up the hill in our 4wd toys... pshshshsh

Seriously though. Now I know what all those jeep drivers were thinking while I was white knuckling it home in the snow. I had a nice enjoyable ride home from work, taking my time, not worried if I was going to slip and slide or get stuck. (I took it easy and didn't get cocky, but there is something to driving a vehicle that was designed to handle those situations!)

The real key though (knock wood) is to actually get out of the neighborhood tomorrow. lol That hill is just plain treacherous!! After that, it's pretty much clear sailing. So like Frannie said, if I can get out of the neighborhood, every payment I've made on this vehicle is well worth it!

So yeah, buy a Jeep... they're awesome!

Oh that?

Yeah, that's my WJ, bought it just the other week. I've always wanted a jeep, particularly a Cherokee. I went to see a Cherokee, having passed up probably the best XJ I'd ever see for the money and it was kind of a piece of crap, but then again, they only wanted a couple grand for it. Well they wanted to unload it and at first denied that they had a Grand Cherokee on the lot. lol Told me it was a Kia... NOT! It was a slightly newer Grand Cherokee Laredo.

Well, as soon as I saw it I knew that was the one that I'd been waiting for. Took it for a test drive and it was the shit!! Went back and told him I'd take it. They were going to finance it for me, but being Christmas Eve, there were all kinds of delays for this, the systems down for that, etc. I just looked over at Fran and she nodded her head. I threw the credit card down on the desk and he said how much are you putting down? I said 'nothing', pay for the whole thing. (Now this card has been around for the last what 20 years? so has quite the credit line! lol) He didn't look pleased or convinced, but after about 45 seconds when the approval was immediate, he was very happy. We were out of there within a quarter hour and went and got noods!!

WooHoo and that's how I got my jeep... Oh and the reasoning (you always need a valid reason, right?) was that it would insure that I could make it to work in the worst weather! Well that reasoning works equally well for me as it does for Fran. We picked up her 2010 JK (Wrangler) the very next week! Ha

Cool right?! Yeah, I think so.
