Default Here's why my wife NEVER drives my TT...

I was watering the lawn today when I noticed something "off" about the front bumper on our Grandcherokee (wife's daily driver). I immediately called her outside.

"Honey, did you hit something with the Jeep?"

"Umm, no."

"Did somebody hit you?"

"I don't think so..."

"Then what is this?"

<img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/lowcountrytt/jeepdent001.jpg">

Her: "Huh! I don't know how that happened."

Needless to say, I think she now has a better understanding as to why I tell her "no, you can't drive the TT to yoga class."

PS. Both creases in the bumper as well as the brown-ish abrasion were not there a week ago. Looks like the Jeep's front end came into contact with the rear end of a pickup with a trailer hitch and ball. Damnit!

Should be illegal for people to drive around with the trailer ball still on the hitch!

Default Her: "Huh! I don't know how that happened."...i hear that from my wife all the time..

deny, deny, deny...whenever i point something out. had all the wheels refinished...since i couldn't stand looking at all the curb rash. there's a 1" rash on the right front wheel...and i get the same...Her: "Huh! I don't know how that happened."

good thing she can't drive manual.

Default Well, I keep mine on the back of our jeep to protect the rear bumper

from idiots who can't parallel park. I'm sure it has worked in my favor many times.

Default lol, of course I did. :-)

And that's almost certainly what happened. That's why you have to choose your parking spot wisely. She is much more cavalier about parking than I am. I'll walk 500 yards to park where there's nobody, whereas she'll wedge that jeep as close to her destination as she possibly can, regardless of other cars' proximities.

Default Things happen. She would not (IMO) tell you a fib over such a crease Chip.

Be happy: it'll be OK!

Default I thought it was because you didn't have a catalytic converter...>>

but then I remembered that you had one installed. So, I'm at a lost on this one...:-)

How do you know his wife is of the female gender? Don't jump to conclusions.
