ya know i see pics of or beloved battle wagons beat the hell and tore up and it kinda gives me a warm and fuzzy that the ole girls just might take damn near anything, but sucks that some jackass kills off another one.

and yes i hope said jack ass and passenger recover fully.

well at least WE can say that our jeeps have be used. they have been off road be it a family camping event, hard wheeling and in some of our XJs cases humanitarian recovery missions.

WE know and our jeeps tell it all.

Yeah I really hate that when I saw it. I hate that the Jeep Grand Cherokee and XJ are on the list, b/c I've been looking for a 5.9 for awhile and they're hard enough to find already, without the risk of them being traded in!

And I also want to own another 99 or '00-01 XJ at some point.

But my biggest beef with the whole gov't program is that rather than donating the cars to a worthy cause (battered women, etc) they would rather permanently kill them off when they are perfectly good and useable...

Her 1988 Jeep Cherokee was gone

"Why anyone would want a car that old? That's the part I don't get," she says.

The Jeep has better than 180,000 miles on it. The radio doesn't work

"is valued at only $500"

After 22 years of ownership, she can recite the license plate number: GXH-342

"I love that car. I just want it back."
