Jeep owner’s intelligence

[Shots]

.... In my opinion Wrangler owners are much more intelligent (this is void of self praise) than other model vehicle owners. In large part we are enthusiasts, and product specialists. Few vehicle designs incorporate as much owner feedback as does the Wrangler. We are enormously resourceful creative and mechanical people with some of the most clever ways of solving problems...

Well heck, as the OP I really thought I was complementing Jeep owners. I did not mean to get into any financial discussions. I've read here where members solder diodes and resisters into wiring harnesses they hand made. Come up with all kinds of cool mods to fix issues. Troubleshoot and fix complex mechanical and electrical problems...…. All in all, I think Jeep owners are resourceful and mechanical geniuses..

I believe the quote above yours is indicating the same thing you were thinking when you posted. I'm inclined to agree that Jeep owners tend to be very mechanical and creative.

To OP, bet this isn’t what you thought it was going to be, huh? To quote a line from the movie Stripes, this thread has “ BLOWN UP SIR “

LOVE that movie. Comedy gold right there. For any of you Chivers out there, BFM

Exactly. I used to start off a weekly meeting with “movie quote of the week”. I thought I was quoting movies, while some were dated, were well known. Nope. Blank stares. Didn’t last long. In addition to being another generation, too absorbed in their phones!

I like the movie quote of the week idea! I’m constantly quoting movies and people have no idea what movie haha

Lol well I can be totally against it in my mind muhahaha

Ah ... no.

We raised our kids to think, evaluate, make good decisions. Work. Make an effort. That sort of thing.

When they turned 18, they became adults. Their education, medical care, etc was no longer my responsibility. This business of letting them trailer on to our health insurance till they are 26 is complete nonsense. The term 'adult children' is the most laughable oxymoron I have heard in decades. If old gasbags want to sit around whining about Millennials and how screwed up they are, that entire philosophy of 'adult children' sums up the why of that. Personally, I think that's a waste of time, and the height of hypocrisy. Old gasbags bitched about my generation fifty years ago and back then, we thought those gasbags were nothing more than oxygen thieves. Now a good many of my generation are behaving the same way, and they too have become oxygen thieves, doing nothing more exciting than sitting around doggin' Millennials and whining about their medical procedures. Do the youngsters a favor and shuffle off this mortal coil if that's all you can do, is what I think.

Both of the kids are in the Marines. First hitch. Both have learned far more about themselves and life than they ever would have learned freeloading off me in some college somewhere. They have skin in the Game of Life. If they want more education, they can use their God-given wits and what they have so far learned, to get that.

Now, off the soapbox, back to spending the kids' inheritance, and back to whining about my various medical procedures ... anyone want to compare colonoscopy images? I've also got some great shots of that time the urologist shoved a camera up my ... well ... never mind.

"Adult children." Har har har ...

Joining the Marine Corps was by far one of the best decisions I ever made in my lifetime thus far!

Okay so let’s be real here for a minute lol

I think we can all agree that the original post was going to die out soon enough with such a general statement.

That being said this has basically become a general discussion of sorts.

So, has anyone else been receiving tons of ‘Mopar Vehicle protection’ emails? Super annoying..

Lol I wasn’t always in that bracket btw. The USMC doesn’t pay much from E-1 to E-5. Lol

Edit:

Also please don’t use the T word around me. It makes me cringe this time of year hahaha

A smart guy who plays his cards right after some service typically does well. Especially if he exits with some clearance. Good on you, my friend. Nothing is free. Well deserved.

Thanks buddy!

I try that’s all I can do. Albeit my entire family is Left... God bless them they did teach me how to work. I am really easy to get along with and I don’t hate on anyone for what political party they support. I have plenty of friends who are hard left and we joke on each other all the time on how we see things differently. My entire family however absolutely hates that I’m conservative but whatever haha Dad won’t even joke politics with me at all.

I haven't received any emails like that, but maybe I'm still too new to the family.

Don't know if I've seen a thread on any forum go quite as far off the rails as this one, and I think I posted an early comment that I think at least contributed to where it is now. Not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed...
