Some people just have a way with words.

Are you stuck in life’s rut? Are you bored with the same ole paved paths? Do you have an urge to reach down and slam the selector into 4 wheel low?? Well here’s your sign! This rugged 90 something Jeep Cherokee is needing someone like you. Someone to bring her 318 5.2 Magnum engine back to life. Someone to throw a generic cheap eBay lift kit on with some fat tires you had laying behind the shed. Someone to crack open a Natty light, fire up a Pall Mall red, throw some crappy pop country on the aftermarket cd player and bog the living sh** outta this old girl. She needs a home... She needs YOU! 400 bucks bad engine good trans and running gear. Full time 4wd. I think it’s less than 200k but you’ll need a battery to find out because I used hers on some other crap I have.

And the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to the ad if anyone wants to make a bad decision.

$400 is NP.

The correct way is to refer to it by the wrong model name?

UserNotFound > UserNotFound 02/19/2020 at 12:41

Also, saying “318 5.2" is like saying “I’m 6' 1.8 meters tall.”

That’s Grand Cherokee to you.

Does he know that by saying “Well, here’s your sign! ” he’s calling interested parties stupid?

I feel like this has a Grambler build written all over it.

You’re right that the ZJ is a Grand Cherokee and not a Cherokee. I also am not bothered. It’s blown up and $400

But is he wrong?

I’d argue no.

And also with you.

I bought an okay running ZJ for $700, and then I bought another ok running ZJ for $400, and then I combined all best parts of the two and made one really good running ZJ, and then I gave the rest of the parts to my friend who put them together and made one really bad running ZJ, and then he drove it through a river with the doors off.

Crack pipe.

Are you kidding? That sounds like an amazing story

I pass no judgements.

(No)

I’m not kidding. But I did leave out the other several grand I’ve spent on it since ... but it’s still running and has over 200k miles now.

Yeah, we’re gonna need a detailed write up on this!

i’m guessing crack pipe doesn’ t refer to the price, but the actual pipe the f ri end was smoking as he drove through the river.

In my mind yes, because I want it to be so.

 Not nearly rusty enough yet.

he lost me at Natty Light— I can almost taste that little bit of throw-up in the back of my throat.

“Natty Light-- the beer to drink when Natty Bo isn’t quite crappy enough...”

Maybe I will write that up. I’ve been thinking about writing up a couple of automotive stories, and the one I’d REALLY like to tell is still under an NDA and/or statute of limitations so maybe I’ll write the Jeep one first ...

The best stories often involve some sacrifice.

My thought is that David Tracy needs this to give him a good shell for all those decent parts he has flopping around in Jeep shaped rust.

If its not rusty probably worth all $4 00 of pall malls and natty lights!
