By Adam Pockross - July 31, 2014

The world is full of idiots. But we don’t have to tell you that, you own a Jeep. Not that you’re an idiot for owning a Jeep, God no, that puts you in the 99th percentile of smart folks! But because you own a Jeep, you must put up with an unbearable amount of idiots asking you inane questions about your sweet ride. That’s certainly the case with the good forum members who responded to our query seeking the dumbest questions ever posed about their Jeeps.

Below are some of the many highlights of that forum thread, or should we say lowlights? These are a hoot, no doubt, but be sure to check out the whole thread for all the gems. And by all means, let us know the stupidest question you’ve been asked about your highly intelligent vehicle.
