Jeeples helping Jeeples![]()
Oh! This is so awesome! I’m tearing up a bit reading it! So happy for you! There are some pretty awesome jeeples here. We were all there mentally with you, excited she was finally home!!!Hi my Jeeples! What a day!!! It began with putting Lagertha on my insuranceI then waited impatiently until my dogs went absolutely mental! I dropped the laundry and ran to the door and said to the dogs, “No f*cking way! She’s here!” I ran out and met the driver who laughed at my exuberance. I told him that she was beautiful and he agreed. Then, I thought of Chris and offered him coffee, which he declined. Then, I asked if he was hungry and then he chuckled and said he was good. At that point, I didn’t think he’d accept a hug
I had an appointment in forty minutes, so I had to get busy. I popped the hood and checked the fuses. The box wasn’t secure, but the guy who didn’t know how to push the fuses down, must’ve been fired because mine were fine. By then, my youngest came out thanks to the dogs. She hopped in and when I started her, I saw that I needed fuel. So, we went to the gas station. I had to finagle the nozzle, but managed. I dropped the little one off and went to the appointment. Btw..some asshole ran a red light where I was supposed to take my turn...
It was weird, there was play in the wheel, but not bad. It was weird because she was so new to me. I had no issues with shifting (then). See, the driver had backed Lagertha into my driveway. I went to back her out and she was still in first..seriously, she wouldn’t go into reverse. I thought, “I’m smart, I can figure this out.” Remember, I didn’t get a walkthrough on her. I did figure it out and all was good. So, then I traveled over 30 miles to take Tink back to Lexus. My sister thought she would drive LagerthaKNOPE! So, the turnover went well and the salesman told me my Jeep was beautiful...I agreed. I absolutely love her!! We have almost 100 miles on her. I noticed the engine cutting off at the stoplights when I put her in neutral and would then kick in easily. I laughed thinking of the hoopla surrounding the issue. Seriously, I didn’t notice because my sound system was cranking!!! The same can be said for noise, she was quiet
I wanted to do more to her today, but apparently heat is a factor in those improvements. So, tomorrow is another day and hopefully I can do more to her.
I want to tell you guys, I felt as though you were all with me. For real, it may sound cheesy, but it’s absolutely true. Little sniggets of comments you’ve made were on my mind. I was laughing thinking of them while driving. So, it was a pretty awesome experience and thank you for our first drive together-as you were all there with me.![]()

I think I'll name my jeep "Jenny" like Forrest did his boat.


One of my favorite movies

It is my favorite of all time. I saw it the day it came to theaters and I blubbered like a baby when he's talking to Jenny over her grave. It gets me every time!One of my favorite movies
When people ask where your Jeep is located, you can point in her direction and say, “That’s my Jen-knee.”
