So the Mrs. 1st new car was a 1999 White TJ Sport. It was the sole reason for Jeep’s lousy Reliability scores of new cars. But, I digress. Except… She traded it for a Chevy Sonic. 😁😳😩ugh… Hot hatch backs are a lot of fun!

Long story short ( too late). I loved my Jeep. Was her quote of choice, when she saw a wrangler. So I got her one. Happy Birthday Baby!
