'96 Jeep Cherokee: Need Opinions - JeepForum.com
Figured it might give a few of you a chuckle leading up to what always seems to be a stressful xmas.

 

Well she ask for an opinion. lol I would say he gave her some pretty good advice. I don't think she liked it too much though.

 

lol...i'm one of the lucky ones I guess sucks for that guy though

 

i saw that one once before, but it brought a smile to my face again

 

Ah....good ol' jeepforum....

I dont go there much anymore...

 

"You want my opinion? Ok…

Shut the hell up. You’re not his wife. You’re not paying for the repairs. It’s absolutely none of your business what he does with his Jeep or his money. I know your type well… first it’s “Sell the Jeep because it’s costing too much money.” Then it’s “No, you can’t go spend the weekend with your buddies because I need you to take me shopping.” Then it’s “Oh gee, honey… I’m pregnant. Gosh, I have no idea how that happened.”

You’re a DreamKiller. You kill a guy’s dreams, take away his future, tie him down with a fat mortgage and too many babies, and turn him into just another miserable guy wondering, “How the hell did I get here?”

Do you really want to help him? Here’s what you do… go to your local library (it’s a big building with books inside) and check out a couple of books on rebuilding engines. Read them, over and over, until YOU understand what needs to be done. Then help him get that engine out and rebuild it. Tie your hair back in a ponytail, put on some old jeans and get your hands dirty. Hand him wrenches, hold the light, pull the wire connectors apart, help him get the hood off… help him with anything he needs. When he gets tired, run inside and make him a hot lunch or dinner. Fix him coffee, hot chocolate, whatever he wants. (But NO beer. Beer is for when the job is done.)

Then when the day is over and you’re both exhausted from working on the engine, push him into a hot shower and jump in with him. Scrub his back, wash his hair, rinse him off, and dry him with fluffy towels still hot from the dryer. Then push him into bed and screw his ears off. Then get up the next day and do it all over again.

Make him realize that rebuilding an engine is a slow and methodical process. Make him realize that every step should be regarded as surgery; every step must be perfect… perfect torque, perfect fit, perfectly clean. If you run into a step that you just can’t figure out, ask for help from someone who knows what he’s doing. Are you cute? Put on a low-cut top, show some cleavage and go (by yourself) to the local Jeep shop, and explain to the guys that you are helping your boyfriend to rebuild his engine and neither of you can figure out this one little step, and do they have any advice…

Think it won’t work? Think again. We guys love to help cute girls, even if they have a boyfriend. (Hey, maybe you’ve got a sister, or girlfriend…)

But absolutely DO NOT whine or complain. Do not say a single negative thing. Not a single “Oooooo, I broke a nail.” If you break a nail, or cut your finger, or bang a knuckle, you just shut up and DEAL WITH IT. You should be a hopelessly optomistic, never-say-die cheerleader, encouraging him every step of the way.

That’s my opinion."

Country Boy >> What do you really think ? LOL

 

Sounds like my ex, couldn't see the forest for the trees when I was with her. lol

 

lol i couldent say it any better thatn that guy did...hmm and i wonder why im currently single..

 

And I wonder why we don't see many women hanging around here LMAO

 

I second that. It would be cool to find someone like that... But, now i have tons of time but, its winter and i have no shop.

 

lol i got the shop, but not much time, and no one so spend it with. well i got by best friend, but somethin purdier then him would be nice

 

haha, ive got no time, no shop, no best friend (anymore) and a girlfriend who has no interest in helping me with my truck. Anyway, after reading that and the ensueing comments, im so glad for FTE! And i also wonder, why dont we have any women members? Or active ones anyway? We had one stop in on the OBS stroke section to ask a question but thats it...

 

Very few woman see the appeal of the older truck, we had one kicking around the pps forum for a while, but she buggered off. The few women who love my truck would never buy one, they'd rather get themselves a jeep, or a newer 1/2 ton with luxuries, and pay/bribe me to tow the things they need.

If you look through the excursion forum, it's a lot of husbands, with women who tell them to never sell it, or who have staked a claim on the suv and try to drive it more than them. It's all about the creature comforts.
