Hey everyone, I'm delurking to write this because you guys are the only ones who will understand my misery. I lost my beloved Bubba Jeep today to a GMC Sierra that ran a stop sign while we were on our way to work, his top down for the first time in weeks, enjoying the great weather. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt except for my Jeep. Both air bags deployed and he held his ground and didn't roll, probably saving my life. Bubba was a '99 TJ that I bought brand new and "built especially" for me in October of 1998. We didn't really ever go off-road because he was a daily driver and being female, I'm not much of a mechanic. I want to thank you guys for all your advice that I've lurkingly gotten from this newsgroup. I did learn to change his air filter and clean his throttle body thanks to your great instructions. I just had a cracked manifold replaced last month and when trying to decide between OEM and Borla, my husband asked, "What does Jerry Bransford say?" Great site, by the way Jerry, from another Nancy. I've checked in to this group practically every day for five years now and being a Jeep owner is part of my identity. I'm hoping that I can convince my husband that I need to buy another TJ, but nothing can replace my first love. I apologize for the sappiness, please accept a Jeep wave and my deepest thanks for the last five years.
Nancy
