Re: Glad I Had My TJ
haha awesome!
Y'know, whenever I see on the news that this street or that was
flooded and people in cars were stuck, and I see in the video taken
that the water was only a couple feet deep or so, I find myself
thinking how fun it would be to have been there and just drive on
through like it was nothing ;-) Glad you got to do it! -- and congrats
converting another! That cop sounds like a good guy! And it definitely
doesn't hurt to have a cop for a jeepin' bud!
