keep her jealous...it will keep her on her feet. she'll cook harder, clean harder, and do "other things" harder. once women feel they have officially won over their man, they get extremely lazy and sometimes lose interest all together. guys are guilty of it too, but women are especially guilty of this. they like having projects to work on, and if your obsession with your Patriot is creating a game for her to test her girlfriend ability and female seduction skills, i would say you have created a very nicely balanced relationship. keep it going, you will reap the rewards for a long time

Well, not usually the Jeep for me, but sometimes. And sometimes it's my dog, or guns, or fishing, or hockey, or, well, whatever.

Popeye taught me "I am what I am, and that's all that I am". So I've always been the Take me or leave me, kind of guy.

The Jeep is just part of my lifestyle, part of what makes me who I am. And sure does help with all the other things I am, like dog owner/trainer, outdoorsman, hunter, nature photographer, rainbow chaser, etc.

Tell her it's because the Jeep is easier to handle.;)

Guys.... here's the thing. Let Uncle Kah explain it all to you.

Jeep's, last I heard, do not swing the fearsome frying pan in the whirlwind fashion. Wives, gf's, mistresses, lover's, etc... do.

But in all honesty, wives, gf's, mistresses, lover's, etc. > Jeeps. Why? Simple. Wives, gf's, mistresses, lover's, etc, last I heard, can cook, wash, iron, take care of our sorry butt's when sick, pay the bills (in some instances), buy us gifts as appropriate, make nights a LOT warmer, make nights a LOT LESS lonelier, bear our offspring, care for our offspring, and a lot more stuff that we so much enjoy but don't care to admit.

So, the conclusion of my thesis here is that wives, gf's, mistresses, lover's, etc. > Jeep's BUT Jeep's allow us to make a quick get-a-way as need be when thing's go south!

My secret to dealing with women is simple. Do as they say right off the bat. Get it out of the way in the least painful way and as quickly as possible.

An interesting statistic for those of you throwing around these comments about your wives/girlfriends so flippantly:

9 out of 10 men don't kiss their wife goodbye when they leave the house
9 out of 10 men do kiss their house goodbye when they leave their wife...

Just a little food for thought.

um...

You do know that was a joke, right? I don't tend to insert smiley faces (or dancing bananas) in order to make that point, trusting that my sarcasm is self evident. I mean, after all, sarcasm was injected into text long before the invention of the emoticon or dancing banana, and most certainly before the dancing chilli pepper.

And, fwiw, I've known a person or two who made a joke about the troubled relationship they were in... Humour can be used to lighten a lot of horrible situations. For reference, see any Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.

Just in case, :D

My girlfriend helps me modify my Jeep, spots for me on trails, and rides with me on road trips. I have no problems with girlfriend complaining about spending money or time on the Jeep - plenty of time to discuss about modifications on those road trips and easy to demonstrate why they are necessary as well. :)
