How cool was THAT! I've got to admit, my eyes got a little misty when the old man saw it and his lightbulb went on. Hes got great boys there.

This should be a required viewing for all wives who can't understand how a CAR can be that important to us.

In 1978 I bought a brand new Jeep CJ7. It was my daily driver for 23 years. My wife and kids went everywhere with me in that Jeep. That included a trip to the emergency room to sew up a gash on my sons forehead from falling against the roll bar. We all loved it. But, in a momentary lapse of sanity I sold it.

Two years ago my son found it. He and my wife bought it back and gave it to me for my birthday. So I know the "How cool is that?" feeling.

Had a good look at it when it was in the showroom here in Montreal, so glad it went back to the original owner......
