The cop came back and said the Jeep hasn’t had any plates on it since December!!! I forgot got to renew them, no ticket, I ordered the tabs on line, I figured I get them in about a 2 weeks. I ordered them Friday afternoon, I got them today!!!!
I have owned 3 Jeeps. They will give you more trouble than most and you need to be handy with your time and tools or a wallet deep enough that I does not hurt. They are fun to drive though.
I bought a brand new off the showroom Chevy Blaser in 1974. In the first 10,000 it went back to the dealer thirteen times for warrantee work. I bought another in 1999. It required three power steering pumps, three water pumps, one computer center replacement, and one rear brake drum. Next one will be a Subaru, Lord willing.
Been driving junk Subaru's for the last 13 years. On my third, i have invested about $5500 buying them, probably a grand in repairs. Current ride is a '95 I bought 3 years ago for $1500, with 123k on the odometer. Leaks oil, And tranny fluid. Haven't changed the oil, just add. It's starting to bubble the paint on the rear quarters. Maybe two or three years until I drive it to the junkyard because it's rusted away.
Best darn vehicles I have owned. Run them till I junk them. Look at my yearly cost for a vehicle over a decade! The annual looks like one month's payment. And I have broke down once. A broken flexplate How in thee heck does that happen?
Had a TJ Wrangler for 10 years - no problems. It was subject to a safety recall after I bought it - they had to install a heat shield to prevent the engine from catching fire. It was a good car but I eventually sold it and got a Toyota. Significant difference between the V6 and inline 6.

This.
Owned one until I hit a cow at midnight on back country highway. But never again. That thing was always broken.
I have an '04 Pontiac Montana minivan that I bought from my mother when she quit driving. It had 60k miles on it. It turned over 200 this winter. The only real problem I've had was a transmission replacement at about 120k. I've had 3 different GM trannies fail between 100 & 120, a Suburban, a pickup, and this. The only other problem I've had with the Montana is that twice I've limped home with failed front wheel bearings screaming and sweat getting in my eyes. It's not worth much to sell or trade but we keep it for a runnabout to save miles on the pickup and newer car.
Like the Jeeps, this is one that's known to be problematic but the problems haven't seemed to have shown up yet.

Here, print this out and tape it to your back window. You'll good until your real tab arrives.
My old thang rarely gives me any problems. I’ve owned a 47,57,66, and a 89. Little trouble out of any of them. My Jeeps have been like my Leupold scopes. No trouble!!

Daughter bought a newer car and couldn't get plates or title done on it, shes been driving it and got pulled over she told the cops she just bought it and had the signed over title in her purse, cop said he had no problems with what she was doing and told her to have a good day.
Dammit Denny, I ain't consortin' wit no felon! Pay the governor's lunch and put your tabs on.
Funny thing is, I prolly know the Dep that wrote the ticket. Seems things get pretty boring law enforcement wise over there in C-ville. He said he spent one night making only left hand turns to see if he could get through the village back to his original spot. It took him 4 tries.
