It's the little things

[Mikester86]

You left out the loose fuses, the loose steering and an utterly incompetent dealer network. The Jeep experience wouldn’t be the same without them. ?

I had to draw the line somewhere, lol. Didn’t want to type a novel.

True on the safety issue.

It's funny. On my LG fridge, I can just reset filter warning and keep going. We have some of the best city water in Canada, there is no requirement for me to filter it, nevermind come upmwith a bypass. That's crazy. Does yours not dispense water if the filter light it's on?

On my model, it just has a constant reminder to change it. I never used it long enough to see if it would just shut down. My fridge came with a spare filter and it gave me time to figure out the alternative. If you use a non RFID chip filter ($8 USD) then no water will be dispensed. Our water is fine but since I can get the cheaper filter, I change it out, once per year. The reason for the bypass is that if you have filtered water suppied to your house and thus you don't want to use the factory filter.

Same with mine, I press and hold the filter button and it goes out.

Very rarely, I'm in South Carolina. Hardly ever snows here.

And if it does you're probably only going to the store for milk and bread.

Nah, that's not me, that's all my neighbors....lol. Snow has never stopped me. My commute to work was 20+ miles one way. In 45 years of work, I never missed a day because of snow. way too much fun to drive in.

Moving there 1H next year. One of nice things will be not having to deal with snow anymore.

I like the simplicity of the jeep, although that is being whittled away.

You forgot, the official run on the stores are always, bread, eggs and milk. This is because when it snows, everyone just can't wait to make French Toast. This seems to happen everywhere I've lived. I look at it, as it must be the official food of the celebration of the first snowfall.

I can live without the simplicity. I just worked on a 1984 Jeep yesterday and then jumped in my 2021. Night and day.

Except here it really is Bread Sammiches. Beer, Chips, Eggs, Produce, none of it is sold out but you best believe the milk and bread will be gone in the Carolinas.

You should have seen it back around 2010 when I was racing in Grand-Am. We went to the Daytona test days (the first weekend in Jan) and it snowed there an inch. It was pretty mush mass panic from the locals. The teams from Canada were still walking around in shorts.

back to the little things (since it seems everyone has gotten hung up on washerfluid-size matters!)

It's every time I get in the jeep and I feel like a little kid driving a toy. It's like it's not a real vehicle

even my 80 year old dad said it to me when he was riding with me. "kinda like a toy isn't it? "

Funny, we were showing my wife's 100 yo grandpa my new jeep just before he passed away, he said it was a little different that the ones he rode in during WWII. He also said it looked like a big toy and told me, good for you for getting it. Then he asked if I'd gotten it stuck yet, I told him no but I definitely would sooner or later.
