I’m sure it’s too late for this, but I would have made the previous owner remove it as a condition of sale.
Given the poor reliability record of these vehicles, you won’t stay that way for long.
So you might just consider leaving the Jesus fish there until you junk this vehicle.
:rolleyes:
The Zottible, 2 Veblen 14-21:
[sup]14[/sup]When Zotti landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their ignorance.
[sup]15[/sup]As evening approached, the moderators came to him and said, “This is a scawy pwace, and it’s already getting late. Send the teeming millions away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some books.”
[sup]16[/sup]Zotti replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to think about.”
[sup]17[/sup]“We have here only one Jeep and one Jesus fish,” they answered.
[sup]18[/sup]“Bring them here to me,” he said. [sup]19[/sup]And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the Jeep and the Jesus fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and started breakdancing. Then he gave word to the moderators, and the moderators conveyed knowledge to the people. [sup]20[/sup]They all watched and were satisfied, and the moderators picked up twelve basketfuls of broken misconceptions that were left over. [sup]21[/sup]The number of those who learned was about five thousand men, besides women and children, who didn’t count in biblical times.
Just put a hook through the mouth.
Oh, no permanent damage… except to your eternal soul!!!
Get a big shark emblem or Darwin fish with mouth open, getting ready to eat the jesus fish.
So what’s up with the waving? I’ve owned Jeep Wranglers (happily) for the last 6 years. The only negative is a worn out wrist from waving. When I owned an MGB it was the same thing. Any other cars wave?
Cite? Bought one new in 2000. Put 160,000 miles on it with only gas, oil, brakes, and one new battery. Just traded it in on a 2004. Anecdotal and all, but I’m a happy Wrangler owner.
I’ve been driving a Grand Cherokee (a ZJ) since '97, and I can occasionally get a wave out of Wrangler drivers. Cherokee drivers are better wavers for me. Liberty drivers and new Grand Cherokee (WJ) drivers don’t wave at all. There are quite a few Wagoneers in this area; most of them will wave back.
I don’t know about waving, but don’t Saturn drivers have some kind of annual get-together in Tennessee?
Ooops. “and tires. lotsa tires”. 
When I drove a Cabriolet, I would get and return waves.
Now that I need a car which has a back seat, and can fit a child car seat, I had to let the Cabriolet go.
Passat drivers aren’t as friendly.
That dental floss trick works great! Now how do I get the woman who owned the car with the (now removed) Jesus fish to stop yelling?
Yes. It’s for the Annual “Get Your Spare Saturn Parts Yard Sale”.
All sales final. Must be present to win.
So what will you do with it when you get it off?
Aren’t you afraid of going to the Bad Place if ou throw it in the trash?
:eek:
Actually, that’s become a victim of corporate cutbacks, and is not at all what it used to be. I’ve found that when you drive any kind of classic car you get lots of waves from admirers.
My cite would be the Consumers Reports reliability tables. Which is really just anecdotal too, but coming from about 1/3 of a million car owners, which does give it some weight.
But I should clarify what I meant by: “poor reliability record”. I just checked the 2004 report, and Jeep Wranglers, which used to be bad in the 90’s, have improved to “average” reliability now. (It’s the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s that are still “below average” in reliability.) Personally, reliability of a vehicle is very important to me, so I only look at vehicles that are “above average” in reliability. Anything else I consider ‘poor’. Others may consider ‘average reliability’ acceptable to them. I apologize for the poor wording of my comment.
Superglue it to her forehead.
Mini owners in the States will flash lights, honk horns, and wave at me. Most of the time I’m long past them before I realise they were waving at me cos of my own Mini…if this occured in Great Britain, one would think suffering from some sort of vehicular Tourette’s syndrome was a requirement for purchase, given how many one sees over there.
Corvette owners “do the wave” to each other.
Cool. I was aware of the “average” CR rating. Back in the early 80s (IIRC) I drove nothing but Toyotas due to reasoning similar to yours. At the time a Dodge Colt was crap when compared to a Toyotal Tercel.
