Title: Ya know you are a jeep addict when:
Post by: F Bill on November 16, 2012, 09:25:38 AM: On the other site we have had quite a few great contributions to a thread about jeep addicts.....so I figured some of us here could add some more good ones....

Here's a couple to start us off...

You know you are a jeep addict when:

Small kids point at you and say "There's that jeep guy, Mom!"
The counter people at Oreillys let you look up your own parts...
You have Walcks on speed dial.
Neighbors don't even look up whan you drive by with a full trailer anymore.

You are the only guy driving your jeep on the lake, in March

Cleaning gear oil off the garage floor brings a smile to your face.

Post by: macrisel on November 27, 2012, 12:11:57 PM: Every time the car club guys see you they smile and ask "Is your Jeep done yet?" :'(

You get a little giddy when the UPS driver raises an eyebrow and asks "More Jeep parts?"

You can look at a 700 hp big block chevy motor, stick your nose in the air and turn around and say "Still not a flat head" and walk away.

Everyone at the parts store laughs when you come in.

I'm sick, I need help :-X

;D ;D ;D ;D [smiley=thumbsup.gif] ï¿½

In the world of addiction, isn't admitting this the first step to recovery?? ï¿½I bet most of us have had to admit this to ourselves at some point. ï¿½I know I have.

When you see another jeep on eWillys and start thinking how good that would be for yet another project. THen you remeber the first one hasn't been finished yet. (Can you say a decade on a restoration or more?)

I was wondering about that.. You and the Gnome seem to be on the page all the time when I check in.. :)

When the first thing you do every morning is check to see what sort of ruckus got started last night on the page..and who is selling something you need for your jeep, even tho you are in the middle of pulling a tranny on your work truck and need to get that done.
