Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

[HDinkH]

You don’t even know where your Jeep is…

Last time I saw my Jeep I had a check in hand, grateful it actually started for the Carmax test driver (took me three tries to start it on the way to Carmax - on Friday the 13th, I might add)

Don't they have an X-Wing there? (speaking of nerd alerts)

Not sure...it's been a while since I was there.

Edit: Looks like you guys already covered this - I'm a little late to the party, as usual

I SO know the feeling.

Ah, a T-70. Actually CAN hit a 2 meter target. lol

I have a stupid question that doesn't warrant it's own thread, or being added to existing threads regarding BOH, so I figure I'll ask it here. I mean, this is where I spend most of my time in this forum and I feel I know the value (or lack of )of the opinions of the folks here. So why not here?

I got a badge from Jeep for completing the Adventure Academy. Would you add that to your Jeep somewhere subtle, or just keep it someplace else all together?

Put them where you like. I put mine in a drawer. Thinking that sometime I'll want to put them on a cooler or maybe a wall in the garage. Too many stickers on the Jeep now. But that's just my opinion.

Put them where YOU like.

I don't remember an X-Wing, but I do remember the Enola Gay there.

Air & Space Museum had an incredible Enola Gay display a few years ago. (The Chaplain who prayed with the crew before their flight was a close family friend)

I'm sure a lot has changed in the almost 20 years since I've been there, lol. Enola Gay was there, the Enterprise was there and they had a number of MiGs and even a few F-35 prototypes... one of the was HIDEOUS!

I know they replaced the Enterprise with the Discovery a while back.

The Enterprise was there when I visited during the museum's opening.

One of the coolest things I've ever done was stand under Atlantis in the VAB as they prepared it for launch in 1997. As an intern, that pretty much sealed my future for me.

You must mean the X-32: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-32

Looks like a guppy with wings. That was Boeing's entry into the competition. While Lockheed's X-35 had problems, the X-32 was worse. And they had a pop stall when in hover mode, which is one of the big problems with the Harrier it was replacing and probably one of the key factors in choosing the X-35 over the X-32.

Not really. I usually drive thru dealerships when I'm out but most of the time all I see are Gladiators. I spent some time checking out used ones but they are priced too high to even consider.

Have you thought about getting another to keep your wife's Jeep company?
