Bubba Jeep RIP
Hey everyone, I'm delurking to write this because you guys are the
only ones who will understand my misery. I lost my beloved Bubba Jeep
today to a GMC Sierra that ran a stop sign while we were on our way to
work, his top down for the first time in weeks, enjoying the great
weather. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt except for my Jeep.
Both air bags deployed and he held his ground and didn't roll,
probably saving my life. Bubba was a '99 TJ that I bought brand new
and "built especially" for me in October of 1998. We didn't really
ever go off-road because he was a daily driver and being female, I'm
not much of a mechanic. I want to thank you guys for all your advice
that I've lurkingly gotten from this newsgroup. I did learn to change
his air filter and clean his throttle body thanks to your great
instructions. I just had a cracked manifold replaced last month and
when trying to decide between OEM and Borla, my husband asked, "What
does Jerry Bransford say?" Great site, by the way Jerry, from another
Nancy. I've checked in to this group practically every day for five
years now and being a Jeep owner is part of my identity. I'm hoping
that I can convince my husband that I need to buy another TJ, but
nothing can replace my first love. I apologize for the sappiness,
please accept a Jeep wave and my deepest thanks for the last five
years.

Re: Bubba Jeep RIP
Sorry to hear that! *wave*
Now, hurry off and get another one. Call it 'therapy', your husband will
understand.
Then hurry back here and post a picture! :-)

Sorry to hear about your accident, glad you're unharmed. As for convincing
your husband that you need another Jeep, tell him Jerry Bransford
recommended it! But seriously, if you have to replace your vehicle, why not
drive something that makes you happy?
On behalf of the group, thank you for your kind words and we hope your next

Bummer. :(
What's important is your ok. Sounds like you got hit fairly hard.
Make certain you see your doctor because some injuries take time to
appear.
Still, glad to hear you didn't get hurt.
Jeeps can be replaced, people can't.
