She's my Exploder

[Grrlwronged]

Hello everyone. My name is Jen & I own a 1991 Eddie Bauer. I purchased her back in 4/06. Yes I'm a newbie but I love her. She needed a little TLC when I bought her but it was worth it.
When I bought her she smelled of dog & had dog fur all over her cloth interior. She needed all new brake lines & drums not to mention an alignment. Her accelerator cable was disconnected & had a dead battery.
Since I've bought her I have done all necessary repairs, put in a new stereo/cd player, cleaned her every week inside & out including trying to restore her glossy exterior, installed vent guards & a cute bumper sticker thats states "Normal people worry me"
I never wanted an SUV but I was in a bind when I bought her but I have grown to love her.
I will pretty much keep her stock but will continue to make her look & drive better everyday.

I helped with all the repairs. As a mechanic's daughter I can do alot but somethings I stay away from. The minor stuff, well that was all me!

As soon as she recovers from her latest endeaver in the shop, I will most definately have pictures of her to post. I'm also in the process of trying to get her twin that I saw for sale today.

LOL Thank you. Guess you can say that. But where can you find an SUV that drives like a car, but can handle like a beast when you want it to?

 

[briwayjones]

Ah you figured out the secret. So are you going to drive one X Monday-Thursday, and the other Friday-Sunday? Or drive them every other day? hehe

It'll be cool having two X's that look the same. What kind of condition is the other one you are looking at in?

Ya know I never looked at it that way!?!? Well my Eddie has a cloth interior, is a 1991 w/roughly 151k. The other Eddie has leather interior, is a 1992 w/roughly 158k. They look almost identical right down to the rust spots.

Oh, GAWD. Someone's gonna get in trouble here, I can see it. "These guys get that syrup in them, they get all antsy in their pantsy." Anyways, welcome, Jen. You know, if you buy the twin, will you drive them both down the same trails so they get the same battle scars, too? If anything, at least one can make a sweet parts vehicle, right?

Funny Jen, all my friends are guys too My two daughters are just like me, we don't get along with most girls, you know the type, the ones whose only idea of fun is shopping (To me shopping is a chore, not fun)

I saw a decal on a truck that said "Real Women Drive Trucks" Gotta find one for my Explorer

 

[Grrlwronged]

Yeah it's funny cause I so look girly girl, but deep down I'm a hardcore b*tch. I tinker with my vehicles, throw my weight around in a mosh pit & according to all my guy friends I'm one of them. Some of my guy friends come to me with their vehicle problems. But yeah I hear ya Sobelover, I don't get along with women unless they are like me.
