So I go to the bar with a friend tonight and when we pull up (Woody's in FW, if anyone knows it) and I see a GW parked front and center. So I was happy about that. Anywho, when leaving the bar, I asked a member of the waitstaff that was outside if it was one of theirs, and he said it was the owners, he just picked it up from CO recently. He said it wasn't running right, so it was just parked there (with the DD Acura next to it). Made me feel better about spending my money at the bar.
And then, a few hours later, when I was taking a cab home from my friend's, I say, "It's the house on the left, with the Jeep in the driveway." I was referring to my YJ, but the Cherokee was parked in the road as well. It made me happy to know that the cabbie recognized what he was looking at and said, "Hey man, lots of Jeeps." That made me smile because I "grew up" a baby Jeeper and it always made me mad when I said I had a Jeep and someone said "Oh, what kind, a Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, what?" (Wouldn't have bother me so much if they meant a real Cherokee and not an XJ). I was always of the kind that said, "No, a Jeep Jeep." I still call the the YJ the Jeep and the rest of them Waggie or Chief or whatever, because to me that's what a Jeep really is (SWB, open top, blah blah blah), but I have to say, I'm glad to have been indoctrinated into the FSJ world since then. And also to have a cabbie that recognizes both.
Now I'm gonna play Mario Kart and then go to sleep. Fare thee well and Happy New Years, fellow Jeepers, of all sizes.
