When is the mom's driving jeeps fad gonna end?
It's embarrassing to pass a jeep every mile.
You can't honestly make me believe the fairer sex actually enjoys driving these unruly beasts.

I can't imagine a soccer mom would enjoy hauling kids around in a jeep....they also never return a jeep wave ��

 

[Fjpanda]

I'm not worried about it

 

[INQUISITROY]

I agree. So many jeeps that pass I give them the old salute/wave and most women look at me funny. They have no idea the history behind jeep or what they are driving.

You are a good baiter....
I'd say, "You bait better than most here."

Maybe you could ask the Mods here to change your screen name to the, Master-Baiter" what do you think Joe?:winner:

If it weren't for the soccer moms and mall krawlers purchasing jeeps, the line would likely be discontinued.

I look at it this way. The more moms there are that buy jeeps, the more vehicles Jeep sells. And more of their kids will buy jeeps, too. The more vehicles a manufacturer sells, the longer they stay in business making parts and new jeeps for me.

Ask a Saturn owner what happens when a manufacturer goes out of business.

I have wondered that, too. They aren't the most comfortable on road. Obviously made to be good off road, but not so much on road. And you have to buy the top of the line with every option just to get what every Hyundai comes standard with now days. I remember when everyone drove a Tahoe. It'll pass.

Classic hater........worried about what someone else is driving. I'll never understand it.

This is true....but when more soccer moms buy them and less 'Jeepers' than I worry that the wrangler will slowly turn into the Renegade

I don't think I need to make you believe... And I t doesn't matter to me if you believe. But indeed my wife likes driving her Jeep. So if you don't believe, you are simply wrong.

JKU rides too well, is too functional and comes in many colors. Bring back the short wheelbase, leaf springs, manual steering, and lose the power brakes...then buy 3 of them because they won't last long.

All of these babied grocery getters will be great used rigs that will be cheaper and unscathed.

Want to be different? Want a "true" Jeep? I got a 78 cj5 base with no doors, top, no ps, no pb, and no back seat that I can let go for the right price. No moms driving anything like it. Did pull a Chevy 1-ton out of a bog this weekend though.

Cool. Haven't put a thread on Ignore in a couple days.

I'm unclear why u limit it to women? I don't believe all the "dudes" I see in jeeps honestly love driving them.

 

[mercalf]

I think the negative to it is the overwhelming amount of trade ins and Fiat pushing stupid features that appeal to that crowd. I live really close to dealership-row and I'm seeing jeeps at the front of every lot. No way a legit Jeep guy/gal trades in for a scion or Kia..yet they've got a dozen JKs in the grass. Wouldn't be a big deal but the trade value Wrangler has held on to for such a long time will see a serious drop with the surging sales numbers. Those reasons and of course the not waving trend they've set as well as horrific driving habits you never used to see.

Now the positive of a million JKs? Ever owned a Cherokee? Scrap parts for these things are gonna be EVERYWHERE in a few years And yeah Ohio stays in business..

Don't be a hater, Just think of all the great, unmolested, mall crawlers that will be available in a few years after the leases run out. Talk about a gold mine! Most will have never even seen 4WD.

 

[pocketlint]

I certainly wouldn't limit it to women. Men are guilty of it too. But I also find it hard to believe anyone can own one and NOT enjoy it even on road. There's just no replacing the fun factor.

Haha. Exactly!
