Default Pesky kids!?!?!?

I was having a great time yesterday. The day was beautiful - the kind of day you wait for all winter long - 70 degrees, not a cloud in the sky and the first real weekend after winter that I was able to go topless. What a feeling!

After noon, I drove by my wife's store (she's a store manager for Target) to take her to lunch. I parked near the entrance to wait for her and a couple of 5- or 6-year olds getting out of their mom's minivan all look at me and say the dreaded words! "What a cool Hummer!" I just smiled and said quietly to myself, "If they only knew..."

Oh well...

I feel like painting a huge "JEEP" logo across the side of my JK. Maybe those magnetic letters?

I'm not sure I can be held accountable for my actions if someone says that about my JK.

Hopefully Child Protective Services in that sate will remove them from that horrible home life and place them with a Jeep driving foster family.

happened to me after i first got my jeep last year. granted there were fewer of us on the road back then and people just didn't know.

in my case, it was the dad that said it to his 2 kids... if it was possible, i would have walked over and snatched the guy's man card away.

btw, anybody seen the april issue of car and driver? big write-up on the rubicon vs. h3 alpha. they tested an auto rubi so it wouldn't be apples and oranges... jeep won!! article is mostly fluff, but it's nice that an unbiased (somewhat) source voted jeep as well.

happy wheelin'!! bring on spring!!

Once ! I get it just about every day when going to work. That's because they know it bugs me.

But one good thing, no one has ever said nice Jap bike to me. I ride a Harley and they all know better. You can only take a joke so far. I know they would never say nice FJ to me. Thats crossing the line.......

Maybe they were talking about their Mom?
