Know there is already a thread by this name, but I searched the app and could not find it. So, I came out of a restaurant with my GF this afternoon and had a parking buddy...
New Jeep owner here and this is a first for me, but...very cool!
I second that. Most people shop for parking spaces in proximity to the entrance the desire utilize. I on the other hand will walk from the oposite end of the parking lot if I can catch a spot by another Wrangler. My fiancee just does not understand this camaraderie often accosiated between Jeepers or why we even wave to one another in passing having never met before. It's just one of those things only another Jeeper understands. I love off roading what can I say? This might be a deal breaker if she can't come around to understanding why I enjoy taking a 40k vehicle to some of the places we go. When she ask that question, I simply say "because I can" that really sets the mood for the remainder of the day usually. Congrats fellow Jeep owners, "It's a way of life".

The wave thing, the camaraderie, parking in proximity - it's the same with fellow bikers (I ride, too). Never having owned a Jeep before I wasn't aware that Jeepers do it, too. I found out pretty quick though when I got mine last year. Pretty happy that Jeepers have such a great community thing going.
The problem with parking next to a Jeep or nearby is that if you run into the owner it is an investment in time talking up Jeeps. I like to park near them as well.
If my wife and I see a Wrangler in a parking lot we might not park next to it, but we always walk by it and look at what they have done to it. She is as big a Jeep geak as me (probably why we have been together for more than 30 years). We will also check out the occational FJ or Land Crusher. We have been "caught" looking under a guy's Jeep before. It always results in a friendly conversation. Some day I might run into someone that does not get Jeeps. Then I will be in trouble.
Went to Sams Club today to fill a RX and parked in front of a white Sahara 4DR with my white 2dr sport anyway I went in and came out and she had a black Hood decal that I want. but I want Blue can not find it is shaped funny I waited and 2 minutes later she came out and told me it was on it when she bought it but as you say it made for a 10 minute conversation and yes still looking for decal .
Parked next to a modified black JK sport at Wallyworld the other day. To my surprise a nice looking blonde jeep girl 1/2 my age was waiting when I came back out. She commented how she liked my RubiconX and the color along with the stock wheels. Had a 10 minute conversation with her. She was very knowledgable about her jeep and the mods done with it. I really love my Jeep
I do it too but my wife hates it. "OMG. If they come out when we do, we will be here all afternoon while you guys talk about your mistresses." Or "I hope is wife is nice so I have someone to talk too while you talk about your track bars and springys."
Haha I know all about this. That's awesome at least I don't feel so bad now. My wife loves the jeep he thinks it's cool but has no idea about anything on it just likes to ride in it and I'm ok with that
This was taken from the driving range at my golf club. Mine is the black Rubicon in the middle. Note: there are two more that I could not get in the frame.
Hah, reminds me of the G Wagon I saw the other day at Canadian Tire, and the people getting out of it. All I could think of damn, they wanted a Wrangler at heart, but think they make too much money. Truthfully I like both those and the FJ, but still.
Should have parked next to em and taken a pic once they left. Next time.
I was pulling into the pool hall the other and lucked out, there was an open spot beside a yellow TJ. didnt take a pic but my hydro blue was complimented nicely with his yellow
When I 1st parked...the parking lot was BARE. No other vehicle around anywhere. I came back out 2 hours later, this is what I see. I'm the Jeep Green one.
