What situations do you find yourself in when not driving the Jeep? Do you miss it? Did you end up make it your daily driver? I still drive my truck to commute to work but find myself missing it.. Maybe because its still new but I've found myself trying to wave at other Jeeps in my pickup. Once I did get a good-ole Jeep wave back while driving a box truck across town. Then I accidentally found myself flexing at the post office...

When at the office, I drive a few different pool vehicles for work.

There’s probably more than one confused Jeep driver wondering why the hell someone in a white Ford Escape is waving at them.

I honestly had the thought to keep ducks in the truck but I think that's probably just wrong..

Mine is not a daily driver as I don't commute on a daily basis. It is my only driver having sold my pickup last year and the car the year before. Downsizing kinda sucked.

Since I only drive the JL these days I don't mistakenly wave at Jeep owners who wonder WTF is up with some guy waving at them from a 3/4T pickup. ;)

The Mrs. has her Mazda CX-5 to drive when needed and that's it at our house these days. Quite a bit different when there were 4 vehicles hanging around the house.

I don’t have a daily commute anymore. But my Fiat is my preferred choice for driving around town; it costs one-third in gas.

If I leave the Jeep parked, it's because I wanted to get there and back on two or three wheels. I'll usually question my choice of conveyance only if the midday heat is noticeably higher than the 6AM forecast. I'll ride in cold temps that would shut a lot of folks down, but I'll also concede to not riding when it's too bloody hot outside. That's when I get in the Jeep and press the magic AC button.

I bought mine as a weekend kinda vehicle… something to tinker with in the garage and road trips with the wife and kids. Twice this week my wife has left her car in the garage and opted for the Jeep. 🤨

I owned one just like it! Mine was a 2007 Chrysler 300 SRT8.

I loved that car...
Mine was a 2006. Lotsa mods, hated to let it go but we had a LOT of downsizing to do before we moved to Arizona from Oregon.

My weekend car is an 02 Corvette. Vette people wave at each other at about the same rate as Jeep people. I find myself instinctively waving at both no matter which vehicle I'm in.

This is my new daily driver. Picked it up two and a half weeks ago.

It allowed me to take the doors off my Jeep. Too dusty at work to have the doors off.

So fun driving either one of them!​
Love it. Watch out for that sink hole..
