Default Neighbors followed wife home

Last night, a couple from down the block followed my wife home. They started asking her about the jeep, if she liked it. Wifey calls me out to the garage, and I basically sold the couple on buying a new jeep. Kind of a weird thing to have happen, but nice at the same time.

Hey, that's how we increase our numbers! I think it's funny how many looks and nods and "sweet Jeep" looks I get from total strangers all the time. Just yesterday I was at a stop light and looked over and this pretty hard looking guy blasting bass who....well.....let's just say I wouldn't expect him to be a Jeeper, was just eyeing my rig, and when he finally looked up and caught my eye he smiled and gave me a nod like, "yeah man, nice." I laughed, nodded and drove off. It's almost like people look at us like we're driving a novelty. haha

That's always fun!

My most memorable stop was at a gas station in a sketchy area. Two guys in a black Mercedes with 22's and bass stop next to me while I am pumping gas. I thought they were gonna ask if i wanted to buy homemade cd's or something. Instead, they started asking all about the jeep. Very random, but nice guys.

Right after I got my JKU I was driving around town with the top and doors off and a dude in a Viper sped up next to me and slowed to eyeball my Jeep and give an approving nod. A guy driving a $100k sports car eyehumping your $30k rig is a pretty good feeling.

I get asked questions all the time... my 13 year old daughter gets an 'attitude' when we are in a restaurant and we see people in the parking lot 'checking it out'. I tell her to relax... it's a form of a compliment.

One of my really good friends who I wouldn't consider a Jeeper rented one while he was in Hawaii and now he is seriously thinking about getting one!!

On vacation in Myrtle Beach. Flipped out some people when I got on the elevator to my room and had all four doors with me on the luggage transporter. They couldn't understand and got scared. They thought I took the doors off so someone wouldn't steel them. Haha!!! I said this town is cool, its a jeep thing. Lol

I got a sign that I needed to stop eating fast food, every time I go through a drive through the girl says she loves the jeep, always wanted a jeep, and gets off in 10 minutes and wants a ride
