Thanks. I am planning on moving to the Philippines where my fiancee is
from. I am tired of the weather here. It's too damn hot all summer and
too damn cold in the winter. At least there I know what the weather will
be like because it's pretty much the same year round, other than the
rainy season when it um, rains! Besides, there are so many Jeeps over
there and many of the body parts are still made there. It really is Jeep
heaven. Even the "buses" there are Jeeps. They are called Jeepneys
actually. Looks like a CJ or TJ from end grafted on to a school bus back
end.

Thanks. I am planning on moving to the Philippines where my fiancee is
from. I am tired of the weather here. It's too damn hot all summer and
too damn cold in the winter. At least there I know what the weather will
be like because it's pretty much the same year round, other than the
rainy season when it um, rains! Besides, there are so many Jeeps over
there and many of the body parts are still made there. It really is Jeep
heaven. Even the "buses" there are Jeeps. They are called Jeepneys
actually. Looks like a CJ or TJ from end grafted on to a school bus back
end.

Thanks. I am planning on moving to the Philippines where my fiancee is
from. I am tired of the weather here. It's too damn hot all summer and
too damn cold in the winter. At least there I know what the weather will
be like because it's pretty much the same year round, other than the
rainy season when it um, rains! Besides, there are so many Jeeps over
there and many of the body parts are still made there. It really is Jeep
heaven. Even the "buses" there are Jeeps. They are called Jeepneys
actually. Looks like a CJ or TJ from end grafted on to a school bus back
