Had the best ride in my Jeep so far....

Well, I've had my Jeep for about three days now and today was AMAZING.

Well, I met up with friends and we went R/C crawlin. Then afterwards, we took out our trucks and hit the mud for awhile.

My Jeep was unrelenting and did everything with style and mud. SO SWEET.

I had the windows open and mud flew everywhere; what a rush that was. Then I get a call from the wife to pick up my daughter so I do that.

My daughter (3 yrs old) has never ridden in my Jeep before so as I get her in, she starts crying. I say, don't worry, it's just a Jeep. She says, "I don't like the Jeep."
I say, "Well, we need to drive it in order to get home."

She says, "No."

So I drive off and after a few minutes, she saying, "Don't stop. I love daddy's car. I love the Jeep. So, to make a long story short, she's hanging onto me and we're having a blast driving in the rain in my Jeep.

One day, I saw a daughter and father in a convertible and it made me think that one day, I could do that with my daughter. Well, today, it happened. My daughter and I cruising the Jeep in the rain. Wow. What a day.

I know it's not a big deal but I just loved driving the Jeep and seeing the amazement in my daughter's face. It's always an amazing thing when you surprise your kids like that.

nice, my kids hated me for selling the Suby but after a week they started loving my Jeep. I had a convertible car before and they loved driving around with the roof off so they'll love the Jeep even more soon

My son throws a fit if I don't take the Jeep. Even if I'm just going down the street, he makes me hit every mud puddle, park on the curb, and try and go into the woods. He even knows the wave. In the summer, if the top and doors are on, he gets really pissed off. My daughter could care less about it.

Yeah, my 2 boys are the same in the summer, if we go anywhere while the Jeep is outside, they want to ride in it! "No doors Daddy! No doors!" They rock!

My kids are all married and gone...but the day I brought her home they all wanted to take it for a spin!!

My Wife drives a 525i BMW, but whenever we go anywhere together...guess what...yep she wants to take the Jeep. Go figure.

^ Haha. Great stories.

I guess Bimmers and Benzes have luxury and leather while a Jeep doesn't

But the Jeep does have one thing which is: FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
