Default dads reaction to jk

so i am on leave right now from the marines and took the jk back home to biloxi, ms. now my dad had an old cj when i was a kid but sold it when i was 8 (now 29) and hasnt even sat in a jeep since then. so when he got into mine he was blown away!!! ahaha first thing he saw was the power doors when i unlocked them and said "no F'ing way!!" so i gave him the tour and just kept shaking his head and smiling the whole time. he said he cant beleive how much stuff comes on these things now and is convinced to get one now. took him for a little off roading with a friend (lol see winch thread in offroad section) and we are now headed to the dealer tomorrow to look at trading in his beemer!! him and mom are out in it right now on a date. old man got the bug back!!

I can barely remember being in my dads jeep and now that I have one he is no longer with us. Not only is it great you were able to wake up his bug, its great to share something like that with him.
