Certainly. More people see your car than your house. :)
To play Devil's Advocate, most of the people who see your car are people who have almost zero influence on you or your life, and you will almost undoubtedly never see them again.

That being said, I take care of both my Jeep and my own appearance as best as possible :like: But the above mantra is useful in a city of 8.5 million people who judge you on looks alone - their opinions seldom matter!

I pick her up tomorrow morning, and then hope for the best.

We go (back) to Toronto on Tuesday (Just Gamora and I, for work). So everyone keep your fingers crossed that she behaves!
If the bleeder valve is in an easy to access place, maybe study on how to bleed it yourself - to avoid being stranded on the side of the road?

BTW, I peeked under the hood today, and could not find the clutch master cylinder or hydro lines - which means nothing, but I am curious as to where they are now. :headbang:

One of my favorite sayings was from Anne Landers, “we wouldn’t think about what people thought of us so much if we knew how seldom they did”, however I live in a much smaller community and drive a bright orange vehicle, so the chances of someone I know seeing Blanche every time I venture out are pretty good. Part of me wanting to be seen in a clean vehicle also has to do with my job, I just hate driving up to people’s homes in a dirty truck. Clean equipment gives the impression you care about their belongings. Although that is company policy, I would do the same even if it were not, these values have been ingrained in me from three previous generations. :like: :)
100% agree given your extenuating circumstances. I found myself being super self conscious about my appearance when I first moved here. In an effort to relax myself a bit, I adopted the viewpoint described. That being said, I try to not look like a slob. ;)

I've been told by the dealer that I'm the only two door Mojito Rubicon in Northern Nevada. I highly doubt that but so far I haven't spotted any others. I seen a few four door Sahara. So I'm torn - should I keep Mo clean and shiny or full of mud?

What happened?

I don’t think I can say enough how sorry I am...
Well I reinjured an old injury, and Telluride has some radical terrain plus it has dumped over 4 feet of snow in the past 3 weeks. It is a record year for us

Speaking of family. My middle daughter was up in the Sierra skiing this weekend and sent me this text today...

"Thank you for taking me to the mountains dad. I love them. I look at them and they make me happy and then I think about you and I'm thankful. :)"

Nearly brought a tear to my eye.
:involve:
