I keep trying to hear mine, but this little Jeep is the strong silent type.
I agree, and I know it sounds weird but I think that our machinery knows
more than it lets on.

I had that 95 GT. Her name was Baby. She was like the car in Christine. I
have a whole long story about that car, pretty eeerie actually but it's too
damn early to try and type it all out

LOL Earle... now cut that out.

I wonder if they will come afte me too... gawd I hope not.

If you named your Jeep and talk to it, you are a candidate. ;^)

Well, I still have not names it - yet.
BUT I do talk to it.

Don't you talk to yours?

If I'm a candidate, do I run for president?

Yeah, well it does now. It didn't when it got the name. I think the name
came from my brother-in-law who had the first race jeep which was a '74 CJ-5
he sold that (which he's still kicking himself for) and bought a '76 Harley
Sportster (which he sold because he needed the $ and he's kicking himself
even harder for). I yanked the 258 in mine which never ran very good and
sure never had much snort. A few years a go I put in a 360 along with some
other motor goodies. BTW, it's an '84 CJ. Same or better mileage too.

Ain't no law that says you can't use that name too. I'd be willing to
bet that somewhere in the USA, there is another gal named KATE too.

No way!
really??? More than one of me?

THAT is a threat to national security.

Of course we, and Earle talk to our cars, just like we hear on the
voice recorders of pilots babying their plane as they go in.
