I got my jeep in high school as my first car. Now that I'm a poor grad student living halfway across the country it's still holds up beautifully. While I would like nice interiors, a new paint job, or a nicer stereo, I would trade all those things for a car that runs as beautifully as mine.

My first car was my Jeep Grand Cherokee. It had nearly 200k miles on it when I first got it, and it had nearly 300k miles on it when it finally crooked on me. That car was a trooper though, from the moment I first got it, with a busted out radiator to when it finally died on me, I loved that car.
