Default Beetlescotts 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Fiona!

I know there is a BEAUTIFUL green New Beetle with the name Fiona, but the other day I was talking to Carolyn and I asked her if she had settled on a name for the Jeep, (she has changed it a few times), and she said yes, her name is FIONA!!! so today I have spent some time cleaning her up. So witout further adieu here she is.

I haven't been able to do much work on cleaning up the cars because of neck problemms, but this morning, it was perfect weather, Carolyn was working it the yard, and I decided to give it a whirl.

Even though the Jeep is a Loredo, she has the Infinity Gold stero system and all leather. I love the volume and chanels controls are on the back of the steering wheel! It is Carolyn's main ride, and it isn't new, but she is paid for

Beautiful! I LOVED my 2004 Special Edition with all my heart, but he just had too many problems over the years... I ended up selling him about a month ago. (Yes, I did cry...)

Me and Peanut cried when I sold my eclipse.. I worked two jobs for that car.. But she had to many problems too and was not reliable.. Peanut still cries some about her.. I just miss her every now and then.. If I can find a picture of her I will post it some time.. She was all me.. I had little personal touches everywhere on her.. And they went with her My Screen name with her was "TurboGirl"... Oh the memories.. Anyways, sorry I stole the thread.. A trip down memory lane..

Very nice looking Jeep! Like our New Beetles, they don't change their main looks much.

I hope you do find a pic Carla. You are the same with your cars as we are. They have always been like members of the family.

I had a 1996 model Cherokee Sport 4WD. Wile it was a good dependable vehicle I had such a love/hate relationship with it...I could haul what I needed to, but damn did it suck gas! I crashed it last Thur and thats how I ended up with my NB! It has (has) NEW tires on it Yokohama Geolander A/T, Rancho RS5000 shocks, full Thule bike rack on top and only 150k on the clock.

Good Looking Jeeps!

Thanks Carla! Carolyn says she loves Fiona as much as I love Ernie We actually get pretty good gas mileage on her, about 16-19 mpg most of the time.

That is about what our truck gets. (depends on who is driving.. Me or Lance.. If I drive I baby her because I don't like putting gas in her.. If Lance drives.. He has a lead foot..).. Still working on his mustang.. She gets about 20ish in town and alot better on Highway.. I love driving Smurfette because I love her.. She makes me happy..
