First of all, those pics are awesome! You had me fooled, I thought they were real for a second.
My inspiration came from owning a 93' ZJ as my first vehicle. It got me everywhere and never failed me, till well it failed me, but that was my fault. I bought it from my dad for a $1 and after sitting for 3 months in the driveway over the summer all it needed was a new alternator. After that, all I replaced were the tires and it got me to practice every morning at 5am even in the coldest winter temperatures, fired up everytime! Of course it was with me through years of late teenage schinanagins, got shot up by a drive by bb-gun shot out, and even outran some crazy guy in a Tacoma! Not to mention countless camp trips and family drives out to Invermere. It was a very sad day when it bit the dust, and I still miss it very much! I wound up replacing it with a 2001 Mazda B4000, terrible idea! It rarely started on cold days, always had to be plugged in and always got stuck in the snow, that mixed with a multitude of other issues prompted me to sell it. I was looking around for a cheap fuel efficient vehicle has I had just graduate and a mountain of dept. One day I was on a Honda web site and found her, 2002 Jeep TJ Apex with 95,000Km on her, in amazing shape! Turned out that a good friend of mine worked for the dealership, swang me a deal on a trade in and the rest is history! Its like it was ment to be, and I will never buy another brand of vehicle again. Did I mention my dad has a 2009 ZJ and my bro has a 1999 XJ, so its a fiamly thing too!
