I knew I wasn't alone. Took the doors off and the top down just to drive up to McDonalds to grab a burger, smiling the whole way and waving to anything with vertically-slotted grille and round headlights...

 

Yup...I'm right there with you. And honestly, I avoided getting a Jeep for many years because A) Chrysler was crap and I couldn't get that outta' my head. And B) the hp on the Wrangler was just so uninviting and I couldn't bare to drive slow. Ended up going through 3 Nissan Xterras instead. And now none of the Xterras are around, although, they were honestly great vehicles. I traded in a 2008 VW R32 for my JKUR and I've never looked back. I do miss my car at times, but I can't help but feel like everything is right in the universe when I'm driving my JK. So much so that I bought another Jeep ('14 GC) for a daily driver. Not quite the same, but still a Jeep through & through.

 

Agreed. Even 7mph can be quite a thrill ride

I too have a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel.

I agree with the others....well said sir!

 

Well spoken 7kings.

 

Haha same sentiments here. Had beautiful new 2012 Toyota Tacoma but my hubby knew there was something missing. He suggested we look at a Jeep again. Out w truck in comes our 5th Wrangler. Im still smiling every time I climb in it!

I am a new Jeep owner. Or should I say I have a new obsession, and it's my Jeep. I've only had it for a couple of months. I had no idea what I was getting into. I wish I had done a little more research before buying it so I would have been prepared for the addiction, but then again, I wouldn't have wanted my wife to find out. :-)

I've owned roughly 15 cars in my life. But the JK has been different. Especially when I put the new wheels and tires on it. When we have to go somewhere and we choose to take my wife's car, I can't help but wish we were taking the JK. I'll look at it as we pull away and my wife will mutter, "Aren't you going to say it?" to which I laughingly respond, "Damn, that's a nice looking Jeep!"

The best part of this short adventure has been my wife expressing her want for a white 4 door!

 

Yup....it's always nice when the wife is completely on-board with the Jeep addiction. My wife was more excited about getting mine lifted, etc. than I was I think.

Of course now she thinks we should consider selling it because it's no longer a daily driver and would save a considerable amount of money on payments each month. Blasphemy!!!

 

DON'T listen to her!

 

I totally get where you're coming from. I've been driving nothing but Wrangler's for 20 years now, and I still smile and feel happy every time I climb inside mine.
