Happy New Year everyone!
Owning a Jeep is unlike most vehicles out there. Jeep Wranglers are highly visible and most of us enjoy the attention —and the validation— that comes with it.
About twice a month I get a thumbs up from someone stopped in the next lane.
In the three years I’ve owned my Sahara a dozen people complimented my Firecracker Red.
The feature that gets most attention are the vintage looking Jeep wheels, though. I had complete strangers come over to strike a conversation when I pull up at a gas station of walk away from the Jeep at a parking lot.
Just last night we were driving to a New Year celebration. When we come to a stop light, a couple in a white Ram 1500 next to us waves, points at my front wheel and gives me the thumbs up. They kept talking to each other, smiling and pointing at the wheel, until the wife pulled out her phone and took a photo before the light turned green. It was kinda funny.
I get compliments on the raised white letters less frequently but still some.
What compliments does your Jeep get?
Here’s a couple photos to make it official
