Ownership Verified: rickhamilton620's sorta big red box! - 1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport

So, has this car now vaulted to the top of Top Gayer's gay cars? :p

All kidding aside... Congratulations, Rick! You finally got a *good* car. I liked the Accord myself, but I neglected to remember it had the failmatic. THIS thing should take good care of you as long as you look after it.

BUT....

The interior materials are pretty good. The doors and upper dash are padded.

No, Rick. Just no. They're awful. That's not a criticism. This car interior isn't meant to be luggzurious... but don't call it pretty good!
 
This isn't shit enough, give it back and buy something awful. You're killing a FG tradition! :p

As long as you have the doloshites, I think you're more than meeting the FG quota :p

Yup. AMC/Jeep's interior materials were never more than 'meh' at best in the XJ. See, this is where you need to start recalibrating your scales, rick.

We decided to give the tradition to you to carry on, since you not only bought one enormous pile of crap, you then willingly went out and bought another of the exact same thing! :p

Here we go, Rick's favorite motoring show reviews the most luxurious version of his Jeep. Please note the 'luxury' interior variant...


...which isn't very luxurious after all. :p

You have got to get a real shifter knob :lol:

Otherwise, top marks! I really like the XJ.
 
Congrats on purchasing a cool red boxy thing. Hopefully it gives you less trouble than the Accord :)

Re: Headliner
Since somebody said it looks like being built out of Lego bricks, why not stick to the theme?

Yes yes all the yes! Its not wide enough to span the whole headliner though :( I was thinking maybe this, but its also too narrow.

Indeed. Now Rick has a proper car and that girl with the Pontiac Sunfire decided to do one the Cap is now officially the owner/driver of the two worst cars on FG.

:may: Probably.

(Actually I am sure there are worse ones. The Defeat Bagoshites at least have character, even if that character is a bloody awful one).
 
I'm tempted to nominate my 405 the blizzard, or blaro's miata. still plenty of options around

Also: Congrats, Rick!
 
4.0L, 5 speed, 4WD, 120k miles...... I'm not sure there exist very many better Cherokees out there. I have two cousins who swear by these things and will own nothing else, apparently there is a lot to like :D

I'd also be curious to hear how it drives unmolested, I've never been in an older Jeep that wasn't ruined by a lift kit and large tires (yes that's you, CrzRsn :p)
