I was in my old 65 Camo Jeep one day and this guy walks up and asked me if I only used it for hunting.
I just looked at him and said no I don't hunt, I only cxmo'ed it so the cops could not see me speeding.
He asked me why I did not have a radar detector, I told him I was afraid someone might steal it because I did not have any doors.
He said that makes sense and walked away.

I was sitting in my jeep one day at Subway eating and this guy pulls up beside me in a lifted truck, he walks over and says, That's a cute little toy what happens when it gets stuck? Still eating my sub I get out of the jeep and walk to the front and point at the 10k winch and turn to get back in. The guy says, that's only good if your stuck facing the road, if your nose is in the ditch that wont do you any good. So I walked to the back of the jeep and pointed out the second 10k winch on the rear. At this point I have not said a word and he has a dumb founded look on his face and he asks. Why do you have two winches? I said The front one is for big lifted trucks stuck in front of me blocking the trail and the rear one is for big lifted trucks that try to follow me.

My wife and I just came out a National Forest and the first traffic light out there was a lifted truck a few ,cars ahead with the blinkers on. As we were waiting a kid hops out and it talking to each car ahead. When he turns and sees us his face lights up. As he comes over I see he notices my winch in the front. He comes to my window and says this is perfect with a smile and asks if I can tow him to the gas station. I knew he was thinking the winch, and said I do not have a recovery strap on me and he did not either. My wife had said how in the heck did he expect to tow him with the winch? I wonder if he is still there???

"Why do you wave at other jeeps?"

"Who are you waving at? You keep waving at random people/do you know them?"

"This is a nice truck, but why didn't you buy a F150, Tacoma, Ram, etc?"

I always volunteer to drive the new Soldiers who show up at my unit to inprocess, and all of them ask at least one of the above questions when they hop in. Uncle Sam's been picking some winners lately...

"Do you really wave at every jeep you see?" Simple answer: YES!

"Do I have to wave if I'm driving it?"
More complex answer: the only way you're driving is if I get some pictures for on the jeep forum, and then, YES you have to wave cause you're not getting my jeep labeled as a "soccer mom" jeep...
