Musings of a Jeep Owner

 


Musings of a new Jeep owner.
1. When you buy a Jeep, you join a community. And I tell you what, I found my people! We all have this special connection while on the road and it’s magical. We park together, help eachother, and even wave at eachother.
2. #duckduckjeep is another cool Jeep community thing and we just got our first ducky surprise! Now I need to go buy some rubber duckys to pass out!! I always wondered why Jeeps had ducks on their dashboard!!
3. Jeeps are much more fun naked, meaning- with all sides off! I prefer the doors ON as I realize I like structure and security. The boys take them off any chance I let them.
4. I thank the forethought of Shakey Matthew Strickland, the original owner, as he got an amazing easy on and off top. This way, we can enjoy the full windy Jeep experience.
5. This experience is only possible with a hat. I’m grateful for two creative friends that made me a special Jeep hat for my bday. I wear the heck out of both.
6. It’s much more fun driving people around now. My first passenger was my mama and it was awesome. The grand babies and even my weenie dog LOVE rides in it as well. The nice thing about a smaller jeep is you cant bus around a whole bunch of people. Haha
7. While off-roading is fun, it’s really not my jam. I find it risky and unnerving! I prefer PRE-K off-roading.
8. Jeeps don’t make for great long distance rides. It’s doable though (ask DJ).
9. Jeeps do make for great beach rides. We had a blast on South Padre Island.
10. I finally feel like I found a car that matches my personality! This thing seems to enjoy life along with me. I love that!
