Cool JK sucks

or at least has a strong magnetic attraction, Why else does everyone I pass, drift over to the point they are almost touching my Jeep?
I guess they just want a closer look
(You really didn't think I was gonna bash my baby on here, did you?

You didn't know JK's where invisible? I figure that's why so many lazy @$$'s don't use their blinker when changing lanes or cutting me off.

I notice quite a few tailgate. I think they are just wanting a better look at it...but I wish they would back off.

They can probably double their mileage tailgating a JK with the giant hole we punch in the wind, they can get one hell of a draft.

YES!!! I thought it was just me, but I've noticed that since I got it people ride my ass all the time. I put it down to a few things, either it is because

a. I drive a lot slower in my JK than in any other previous vehicle I've had

or

b. Because of the limited view behind with the spare tire, it just looks like they are tailgating me

Drives me bonkers...

How funny. A guy hit my bumper the other day and admitted he was ironically staring at my Jeep. It ended up a slight scratch on the plastic replaceble part, I can probably clean it up good and take the $500 in insurance money he owes.

Rofl, I can't even change lanes on the highway because everyone tries to stay right next to me to stair. The wife thinks all the hot chicks are eye balling me, I told her they weren't.

I have had my JK 4 days and people seem to be obsessed with it as much as I am.

Oh yeah I took the top off last night (for the first time) and bought my jack for my mp3 player to connect to the stereo and was jamming some music and People were pointing and staring, I kept checking my temp gauge I thought flames were coming out from under it the way people were pointing and staring.

Weird...I thought it was just me....I get the same thing. Tailgaters and if I pass someone going slow on a two lane highway, they speed up not to pass or cut in front of me but, stay right beside me????

Two Words help me create some distance from those tailgaters:

Brake Check

When I can't see the idiots headlights or grill in my rearview mirror I give them a B-C.

I'm a firm believer in brake checking, but I was much more willing when I had a 1500 Chevy and a foot long receiver hitch.
