What would you have?

I'm torn. I'd love to have a 2 seater roadster, or a Marauder clone. But there are so many 4x4's, maybe an old bronco or scout.

Had a Corvette. Traded it in on a truck for my business. If my son didn't love the Xj so much I might find another 'vette to restore.

98-01 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 w/ CTD, dual stacks, and a few other go-fast mods!! Or I would actually pick up my classic Stang, and start building my dream car...

Before I had my XJ, I had a Grand Marquis. Afew special mods, police spec intake, chip, dual exhaust, afew other goodies that made it a great sleeper.

After we found out we were having twins. It wasn't big enough for 3 kids and 2 dogs in the back seat to go out of town. I miss that car.

Hi,

I own an Alfa Spider (1988)
If I haven't own the XJ I guess I would own a CJ or a Rangler.
(Or Suzuki Vitara/Sidekick if I had to save fuel)

That's what she said.

Seriously, the H1 is a good choice. I think the H2's & 3's were a complete sell out that gave hummer a bad name.

I really want to build one of these in the next few years.

Under a ton, so even a 4 cylinder will make them go like stink.

I'd have a full sized truck. I had a 1994 Ford F150 with club cab prior to trading it in for the XJ. If the Truck had have been 4x4, I would have kept it.

After seeing Matt's Dodge RAM 1500 I would have liked to have one of those!

If I didn't have my xj I would want another 4x4 project. So I would want an
s10 blazer that was 350 swapped and solid axle swapped... I planned on doing this to my first one untill I cracked the frame almost 5/8 of the way around in the front... behind the upper arm.

I wanted a K5 Blazer but decided against it because of the potential single digit gas mileage figures.

I already have them. I have a Mighty Mite my son is pressuring me to get built and then there is the Sammy, a nice one with all the fancy trim and an 84 Toy pickup. I won't lack projects for some time.

I'd be back to only a bike. I've had the go fast cars, including a GTB ferrari. I finally have what I want and that's my xj and my bike. guess I've come full circle. Now as I have been writing this, I suppose I'd try to get a ferrari 4x4 built at the factory and shipped to me, that's about the only thing I can think of that would make my smile meeter get better.

I would get another one of these.
I had one when i was younger and it was so much fun but I didnt take good care of it.
I would do alot of street racing and other not so smart things with it.
If I ever get another one I would only use it for sunday drives and dates with my wife.

I almost bought an 87 Monte SS with T tops many many years ago. But I'm assuming you mean the Camero, right?

I would probably be driving a Wrangler. I've never liked having only two doors wich is actually one of the first things I liked about the XJ when I saw a commercial for one way back when. When I was finally able to buy a decent ride instead of a hundred dollar clunker that could run for a year or two, I test drove a couple and bought this one. I actually thought about getting one of the four door wrangler unlimited when they first came out but couldn't part with my XJ. Once when I was at a dealership to get some parts had a salesman come up to me as I was getting out and say "So you're ready to trade that old thing in huh?" Before I could even stop myself I said "Go f*** yourself".

I do mean the Camaro but the Monte with t- tops would be a second choice

LJ Rubicon in any color but silver!

94-97 Powerstroke Crew Cab Short Box or regular cab. (future CTD swap)

If I didn't live in Wyoming and have a kid on the way. I would own another 300zx. Since those apply, probably a Titan or other full size pick-up. We are going to be trading our 370z in this week, it is going to be a sad day. She said maybe in a few years we can afford another 300zx for Sunday drives until the kid leaves the nest many moons from now.
