What is it about a Cherokee, that makes us want them? They are classy, without being pretentious. They are dependable work-horses, that sometimes need our tender loving care. They will demand our attention, but pull us through the hard times when others fail at the task. They will cost us money, but they can make us money. They even look good when they're rusty (sorta like a pretty girl with a pimple). They ride smooth one day, then rough the next day. People notice them, and remember you as "the guy with the Cherokee" (not good if you have to rob a bank). They look civil when they're parked, and look animalistic when they're flexed. Its no wonder my wife gets jealous when I spend the weekend tinkering with it.
