Default Morning Commute

I had a perfect commute this morning and I had to share.

Top down.
Sunglasses on.
A perfect 78 degrees.
Perfect music from the iPod.
Not a cloud in the sky.
Early morning sun in my face warming me.
Traffic moving at 70 on the Long Island Expressway!
Four JEEP waves!
I could have kept driving four hours!

...why the hell am I sitting here in the office looking out at the parked JK!!
Perhaps I am feeliing ill?

It is such a JEEP thing.
Have a great weekend to all!

I think it is great how owning a Jeep can make you forget that you are a Jets fan and still have such a great morning....

You forgot to take your doors off.




Sounds like a blast. That was last week for me. It's been raining every day since. Tomorrow looks good though!

Awesome, nothing beats jumping in the jeep with the top down and the doors off after a hard day at the office. That why I call her Therapy.

You actually got waves? The last two times I was down there visiting my family, I must have passed three dozen Jeeps and not a single wave. Nice to here there are some folks down there with some class.

Awesome, I had the same drive, doors off and still some mud on it from a little wheeling with the kids last night. Great way to start off the day.

That's awesome Jetfan , SE, TX has been kooky with rain lately, suns out, then rain, suns out then rain, I gave up and have just left the soft-top on.

Funny though 2 wks ago I picked up (4) 12 foot tall Queen Palms (8 total) in SASQUATCH, had to have the top down and wouldn't you know a downpour came, crazy, drove 10 miles drenched and holding a bag over the MyGig . Had 2" of water in the floorboards when I pulled in the driveway where the sun then decides to come back out

I could not handle that. I use my Jeep for work delivering packages in a small mountain town. I have the top off every chance I get, and sometimes the doors. An office job would drive me mental!

Yeah, with the nice weather we've been having lately, I've been getting the feeling often. The real bad thing is I work from home so I only get to drive my JK about 3 times a week.
