A sad day for my TJ

[Robert Gessler]

I live in kansas and we had a nasty winter storm over the weekend. Sad to say my jeep became a victim when I lost the rear wheels and went into a spin and took out a lamp post. A substantial amount of body damage and an airbag deployment later USAA has called the vehicle a total loss.
Real shame because of all the time and effort I've spent on that thing. I really loved that little jeep, it almost feels like a pet died

Buy it back?

Are you OK without any injuries? That's the most important thing. It really sucks that you lost your TJ.

I'm perfectly fine, as for buying it back I've definately considered it. However it still is on a loan so I dont think I'd be able to afford repairing it (because the money goes straight to the bank as far as I know)

If you are married , skulk around the house a few days and look at Craigslist adds in the closet and cry loud enough she hears you . Sob uncontrollably .

Fake impotencey .

Then watch the scene in lethal weapon over and over where Mel Gibson nearly shoots himself .

Then when you go down the road together and see one , stare like it was yours and someone stole it .

Get a window off a rag top and sleep with it . In a fetal position .

Then price one and ask what her wedding ring is now worth.

Let us know if you need help.


Seriously , Glad you are ok too man .

Glad to hear your ok...scary stuff I bet.

Wow, that really stinks to hear. At least you're alright. I hope you get enough from your insurance to replace it with another TJ. I'd be devastated.

This gave me a good laugh. I'm still 18 and in highschool though so maybe I'll try acting pathetic with my parents lol. Actually the insurance gave us plenty of money to cover the loan we had on it, so a new tj is definately in the near future.
My dad is actually pressuring me to start looking already.

I do need help looking for a new tj Round the KC area. Looking for somthing with around 100k miles and a six speed. Preferably unmolested.
Idk if theres a better place to put this "ad" but lmk if there is.

Glad to hear you survived, Sorry about the TJ.

What a great father you have!

On a side note, "pressuring" generally refers to pushing someone where they aren't already headed, hopefully you meant to say "supporting" you already trying to get another TJ.

FWIW I started to type this before your second post about looking. You go dude!

Wrong word choice, my bad.

That's a good dad ...he's probably enjoying it as much as you are.
