Just today, I had a guy in a Land Rover ask me if I get stuck a lot. When I asked why he would ask that question specifically, he commented on my winch and proceeded to tell me he didn't need a winch as Land Rovers never get stuck. I looked at him and said "yeah, I don't really see many of them stuck at Starbucks or the mall". He knew I was being a literal smart ass and then calls me "dick!". I just laughed, and said "that's funny, your girl always asks me for the same thing". He didn't like that either, but he kept walking. I think he knew I would have a comeback for anything at that point.

I stopped to look at a used Rubicon at a car lot a few years back. The salesman was giving his best sales speech and telling me about how great the Rubicon package was. He asked if I was aware it came with lockers, then he went on to explain how they work. He said that when you get offroad you push the locker button and the axels would extend out to give you better stability. I was dumbfounded. I asked him to show me how it worked. For the next 10 min he pushed the button and checked to see if the axels were extending. I was about to die, even my wife was laughing at this guy. Finally I couldn't handle it any longer and tried to explain "lockers" to this guy. He wouldn't buy my explanation, he assured me he was right and he would get the jeep in and get it looked at. I told him that after they fixed the problem to get hold of me. I never heard back from him.

Last night I was driving my jeep and came to a roadblock by the state patrol, the guy turned on his flashlight and started looking at the jeep...... When he finally got done really inspecting it he asked if it was stock and came that way or did I do any work to it? OMG

Neighbor: Isn't that a new Jeep?

me: Yes

Neighbor: Why are you using a hose on the inside?

Me: It is a Jeep thing you wouldn't understand

Neighbor: How are you going to get the water out?

Me: pull the drain plug.

Neighbor : no really how are you going to get the water out?

***walk over and pull the plug****

me: like that

Just put an AEV snorkel on the jeep and have already over heard someone telling another that it's an exhaust pipe and then my grandma called it a smoke stack... :facepalm:

Had a guy at the gas station ask if my rear brake lines were for running the rear locker I guess because the lines are stainless steel/red
