Best husband award of the year goes to Mr. SIGIS! While many people get cards and flowers for Valentines day, I got a card and a CAR! Well, a Jeep, actually. A 2012 Wrangler in deep cherry red, rag top. Since I'm driving a 1992 Crown Vic, this is really exciting!
I have a red Jeep (a 2001 Cherokee) and it's my favorite car of all the cars I've ever had. About a month after we got it, I told Paul "Don't plan on ever buying another car for me: we'll just put a new engine in this one when the time comes!" 10 years later, I still feel the same.
I cannot see a red Jeep without thinking of an anecdote from a novel by John D. MacDonald. A Mexican guy was trying to tell him something and he was not getting it.
"Heapdirow?" he kept womdering, "What the hell is a heapdirow?"
Finally in dawned on him. With the Mexican pronunciation of "J" as an "H" the guy was talking about a "Jeep de rojo" and was saying that he had seen a red Jeep. Ever since then I have had a fondness for the Heapdirow.

Hope you enjoy yours as much! :-)
Andy,
Thanks for your kind proposition but my response is, ala Mongo on Blazing Saddles, "Ah sucks, Mr. SIGIS straight!"
Sigh...
But, will you buy me a Jeep anyway?
Andy,
Sorry, I can't right now, but Mrs. SIGIS and I will think about you every now and then when we're taking it out for a drive.
Well good on you Pat. Happy Valentine's Day and Congratulations.
