Beautifully communicated Black08x. I've wanted a Jeep for many years, but I guess I didn't really appreciate what it meant to own one. When I was young, I often spent many sunny weekends driving around just for the sake of getting out. As I left college and got a job, my work came first and my vehicle became nothing but transport to and from work. I could no longer afford to take trips for the hell of it because I had to make sure it would last and get me into the office and back home reliably. Since I picked up my Jeep I've noticed a few things. For one, I'm not driving as fast. I'm no longer in the hurry I was to get to my destination. As in life, I'm beginning to appreciate the journey. Also, I'm taking the in the world around me more. At first it was just me eyeing possible places I could stretch the Jeep's legs, but in the process I remembered the beauty that convinced me to make this area my home. And finally, it's made me a happier, friendlier person. I'm so much more willing to let someone out in front of me, or offer a smile and a wave.

Today, I went for a drive to nowhere in particular. I just went to take in the sites, and it was one hell of a beautiful day. Even got a little bit misty at one point. I couldn't be happier with my Jeep, it really isn't just a vehicle; it's a state of being.

 

This guy gets it.
