Default New jeeper terrible

Tonight I saw an awesome rescue green at the movie theatre. The driver and passenger were still in it so I figured I'd start up a convo and make sure they knew about the wave. The two women inside were less than pleasant. The driver said it was an ok car, but she wished she would have bought the suburban she was looking at back when she was car shopping. And then she continued to say she didn't believe in the wave. There was more said and the tone was completely rude. I was pissed and then it turns out they were going to watch the same movie as me and my girlfriend. Some people just don't deserve a jeep

When I was buying my new 2011 JK, I was considering a used one at first. There were nice JKs with only 10,000 to 20,000 miles on them, there was even one with just 2,000!

Those people you mentioned are the sort of people who trade in our beloved machines. They certainly don't deserve to drive Jeeps. Besides, Jeeps are for cool people who enjoy life, not stodgy Suburban and Hummer drivers

I just blow those people off. I still waive at every Jeeper. I've known people who bought and unloaded their jeeps. They weren't true Jeepers!

It's people like that who trade in their Jeep and allow someone like me the opportunity to get a great deal on a slightly used Jeep. The previous owner of mine paid sticker and turned it back in not more than 2 months later with 1,961 miles. Thank you.. (he also added full lenght LoD bumpers to it)

The thought of trading in a Jeep just seems...wrong. I don't understand how someone winds up in a toss up between a Wrangler and a SUBURBAN in the first place. I see way too many people up around me that drive JKs and not only don't wave back, but look like the types who would die at the thought of ever getting mud on it. When I picked up my plates at my dealership, the guy who'd been working with me affirmed it - most people who come in wanting Rubicons never have the intentions of offroading, they just consider it some kind of status symbol.

Wow. To a jeeper the main reason you buy a rubi is because it comes off the line so off road capable. Jeeps aren't north face jackets!!!
