Same goes with Alabama too, except in some portion of Birmingham and 280 Corridor.

The problem is, many Northerners have moved to the Charleston area.

Reba, congrats, that is great news! So happy for you that you found something you like so quickly.

Other than the crazy traffic, how do you like living in Charleston? I've visited there a couple times. What a beautiful city it is. I'd love to win the lottery and buy one of those houses on the Battery, overlooking the water.

Reba

I don't live on the Charleston peninsula but in an outlying area, about 40 minutes from downtown.

I love visiting Charleston (I just don't like the drive to get there). Downtown, I like the Battery, the Market, the parks, and all the historical buildings. I enjoy the Aquarium, the carriage rides, the boat rides, and touring the forts.

I don't need a mansion on the Battery but it would be fun to have pied-a-terre downtown, and a beach house on the Isle of Palms.

Outside of the city, I like the plantations and beaches.

I don't live on the beach but I do have palm trees in my front yard.

Congrats on getting another Jeep! Whoot! I love mine...and won't give it up, PERIOD!! I'll wait for it till it dies. It runs awesome!

until it dies ? nothing truly dies. you can always rebuild just like the car shows do. Most people just toss their clunkers since they dont want to spend the money or time for issues.

Reba

Sorry, my Jeep was not rebuildable, nor was it a clunker. It worked fine until the day it was destroyed. It was peppy, an AC that chilled better than our newer Commander, comfortable, a good hauler, and (in my opinion) good looking.

Some of its parts will be reusable, I'm sure. But the frame was bent and twisted, so it would never be the same again.

diehardbiker

Technically your right. Our point is we wait until too many parts start to fall off. So far it still runs healthy. Rarely need any repairs other than normal maintenance. This beats the monthly car payments. Just think we spent average of less than 50 dollars a year on repairs, still way cheaper than 300 dollars monthly car payment, plus huge discount on insurance rates. Even that we live in rust belt states, our jeep has very little rust. Far less than what most cars at this age in my area. I don't see much 13 years old cars with no rust.

That is right, yeah it still looks good. It has been classified as timeless style. I love timeless styles.

I am not sure about "Never be the same again" because our jeep was in very similar condition as your wrecked Cherokee and it came out just the same it was. Perhaps I had right collision shop to straighten out and fix it as if it were new. Perhaps that is why our Cherokee don't have much rust for its age.

My Jeep had almost no rust.

You're right about not having a car payments; it was wonderful. I will still have no payments with the replacement Jeep because I bought one for less the amount that the insurance company paid me. It will come out about even though because I do have to put a little money into it to make it just right. But bottom line, no monthly payments.

Reba

Years ago I was in a wreck (not my fault) and my car had a bent frame. They fixed it but it never felt right again to me. I don't feel safe in a vehicle that had the structural integrity of its frame messed up.

On my poor Jeep, the roof came down, the dashboard twisted, the doors jammed in, the pillar bent, and the underframe was really smooshed in.

From the undamaged side it looked fine. Below is a picture of good side after accident.

Oh boy, I'm grateful that you are okay! Your newer Jeep looks better and comfortable for you to drive. That was fast for you to get another truck for a very short time.

Bottesini

This is like your new Jeep?

I like the blue, too. Always have a weakness for blue cars. But the Jeep looks classic in silver, too. Do post a picture when you can, Reba.

Bottes, is that your car?? Very nice. Also very nice house. ;-)

Bottesini

No.

My car. I am blind.



My house not so fancy either. You can see mine in a thread I did when we had to replace the sewer. http://www.alldeaf.com/pictures-vide...g-project.html

I thought Cherokees were unibody and didn't have a traditional frame.

Reba

Personally, because I live in the sunny South, I prefer lighter colors. However, when one buys a used car, sometimes being picky about the colors isn't an option.

Reba

We're still fixing it up, so it's not photo ready yet. I was detailing in the inside today while Hubby was attaching the trailer hitch. He did a lot of the functional stuff already but hasn't had time to spruce up the body. I hope it will be soon so I can take a picture.

I did put my little "Chiefette" doo-dad on the antenna.

I forgot to say that my Jeep is more gray than silver. Hubby's Commander is silver, and side-by-side the difference is clear.

diehardbiker

Yes, your thinking right. All Cherokees are unibody.

I prefer 1974-1983 Cherokees over those boxy Jeeps.

Reba

Yes, technically it is a unibody but it still serves as the framework for the vehicle.

Jiro

Reba - you should get one of these - http://www.powerdecal.com/Browse/Pro...avy-POWERDECAL

I saw this in tv and I thought it was awesome! I think I'm gonna get the USA Flag version.
