Cool little guys. But No stock Jeep on the site? Big mistake.

No stock Jeeps anywhere, but this is cool.

Good morning all!

Proud to report that I have secured a parking space for Gabrielle, as my field assignment may be cut short as early as next month.

$175/mo, tight corners, and a low awning. But! 5 minute walk from my apartment!

That low awning is no joke...at 75" tall, Gabby clears it with about 2 1/2" to spare! (Well, except for the antenna ) Gonna have to be really careful with lifts in the future.

First one here again, eh?

Totally agree on the too many doors issue. But since Jeep hasn’t taken my suggestion of putting fold flat back seats in the back of the 2 door, I’m stuck with 4 in order to fit 300 lbs of dog. A worth trade off, I figure...

lol, even if you took the back seat of a two door all the way out, I'm not sure you'd still have the room for der hunde... plenty of room in the 4 door.

so, you won't be able to curbside park anymore?

Good Morning everyone.

Parking curbside in my neighborhood is tough because of alternate side rules - basically, you have to move your car to allow the sanitation department to sweep the streets. It's total baloney, the sweeper blasts through there, and a traffic cop follows writing tickets for parking violations ($150 a pop). Anyway, my neighborhood has alternate side rules 4 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday) which means that on those four days, it is only "safe" to park on one side of the street.

Right now, I drive to my field office every day - I'm gone before the sweeping rules start, and I get back early enough to find a space with relative ease. My field assignment is ending next month - which means I will be commuting to Manhattan by subway. Thus, I need a long term parking solution for Gabrielle. Perks are that the spot is off the street behind a house (out of sight), behind a locked gate, and watched by cameras. Very safe place for my Jeep. Cons are that things are tight back there - I had to make a 10-point turn just to back out of the alley; there's no room to turn around. A 4 door Jeep wouldn't be able to make it. The tighter radius of the 2 door barely makes it possible.

Well done!! Knowing you have a space to park her will make mornings less stressful, I’m sure.

It will really be nice after coming back late from a road trip to a Jamboree or JHWR gathering and not having to worry about finding a space. You have no idea how nice that is.

Ah, makes total sense now. I'm just too used to how it is here, where curbside parking isn't much of an option in our few high rise apartment buildings, but there's a parking deck right next to them.
