The Jeep Soap Opera part 1, Guiding Light: Wife mad at me and a dose of karma

[Skip The Road]

Let me start out by saying that I have hated jeeps my entire life. They are impractical, noisy, bumpy, cold/hot, cant drive straight and they are designed to be used in a place that 90+% of the time they wont be used for. What made it worse for me was when the 4 door came out and every jerkoff yuppie now thought they were cool and rugged because they had one parked in their subdivision garage.

I ordered an f150 from enterprise because my truck had to be put into a shop for 3 days. F150 was never transferred and all they had was something called a Sarah. I didn't even know what that was. Once I saw it I told them no way and they said that it is all they have. My wife's dream vehicle is a jeep and when we bought her a new car 3 months ago I said hell no. Well I left enterprise with this overpriced 4 door yuppie monstrosity. I got home and my wife though it was hilarious. The next day I took the tops off and that was my $58,000 mistake. I love speed boats but now mine has become a family thing instead of my thing. If it goes out so do 3 more people wanting to do 3 different thing. I realized that every thing I hated about Wranglers are what I love about boating. I loved it. Now remember this is a rental and when I got home I wanted to take the doors off so why not. I drove over a 100 miles that night. It was the same as driving a boat at night. My truck was fixed but I didn't drive it.

5 weeks later my rental bill is at $2,500 and I just ordered a 2020 $56,000 Rubi in orange. I shall name her punkin. So now my wife is pissed at me and I have had to seek advice from people that I ridiculed to their faces for owning one. The karma part is that now that I want one they can"t finalize the order because of the 8.4 and advanced safety package issue. But that will just give me more time to order accessories. I don't know how much time punkin will see off road but she sure will look pretty tailgating at the Bengals games. So I am excited about my midlife crisis/yuppie/over priced/ penis extension that I am buying and don't care what anyone else thinks about me for owning one.

Update: Still can not order the Jeep the way I want it speced. Rental fees now at $3,900. But Leon from Criswell has been awsome through this process. This forum is how I found out about him. Give him a call @ 202.557.0032 if interested.

Poor Sarah didn’t see what was coming to her when you brought her home reluctantly, got her completely naked, and rode her for 5 weeks.

Just be like me. Buy two.

My wife isn't talking to me otherwise to say that I always hated them and I wouldn't let her get one.

My salesmen said it was great and I should post it as an introduction to the group. But I forgot to add that I think I am going to have tennis elbow because it seems like Jeeps are the new midlife crisis vehicle and every yuppie wanting a penis extension has one so there needs to be a way to identify a yuppie from a real Jeep person so that I only wave at the cool real jeep people and ignore those yuppie jerk offs like me. May be ignoring plastic bumpers will work.

The silent treatment is sort of nice.

Good luck with that! You might as well buy another.

God damn. Never thought of myself as this. Figured I was doing the responsible thing by not putting another Explorer on the road (even though we were going to go ST) and letting my kids pick the color. Figured if I wanted a mid life crisis car it would’ve been a GT500 or new Vette, lol.

I keep my wife from driving MINE by ordering a 6 speed manual and neglecting to teach her how to drive it.

Same here. But I just paid as much as a base model vette.

Love this thread. My wife is from Utah and never owned a Jeep but has always wanted one. I was against it (I like sports cars and my wife drives a minivan with three kids and all that it entails).

A few weeks ago I rented a JL Rubicon in Moab for a few days and did the trails.. Just bought one and my wife is still on vacation and I’m surprising her with it when she gets back with the kids.

The question will be who will drive it more..
