Perhaps you also could have said, "I'm a snowflake".
Our views on the video, posted on the internet, have absolutely zero effect on the driver in that (old) video.
A lack of empathy online leads to a lack of empathy in real life.

Yep, lack of empathy here. More than likely there was alcohol involved in this rollover. I'm tired of stupid people, doing stupid things. Let them take themselves out of the gene pool. No great loss to mankind. Perhaps to their families, but not mankind, on the whole.

If I had $75K to spend on a 392 I for sure wouldn't try a stunt like that and post it on YouTube. My insurance would go through the roof.

Sorry about the aging pets! :( I got the Willys as well since I really didn't need a Rubi and I really really didn't want to pay over $50K OTD price! So with the Willys 4-door, I was able to sneak in below $50K out the door but I had to go with a premium soft top and manual trans. I did add towing package with a heavy-duty battery and alternator and I added the Corning Gorilla Glass and aux switches in case I want to add upgrades later on.
Did you order the Gorilla glass ? I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth the extra money the next time I hafta replace my windshield. Lots of good hype, I just want it to save money down the road. BTW the driver is an idiot. Doing dumb crap near a crowd, trying to show off, and seriously, not wearing a seatbelt. The first few Jeeps I owned only had soft tops and soft doors. That belt was the only thing holding me inside the Jeep. I’ve worn one since then, and won’t even drive unless everyone inside my Jeep is buckled up.

I used to take my sport bike to track days with the intention of pushing my limits for the adrenaline rush and to get better. Falls happen. Fortunately, a track environment makes most falls painless (but maybe a bit pricey).

Exactly.

Our views on the video, posted on the internet, have absolutely zero effect on the driver in that (old) video. If any of us had actually been there at the time, I am 100% sure we all would have offered appropriate assistance to make sure the driver got the medical attention he needed. But, we weren't, so we are free to criticize and crack a few jokes. We don't need someone spewing their social superiority and scolding us for it.

Yes, I did order the Gorilla Glass! For $200, it was a no-brainer! I hope I won't get to test it! lol Soft top is awesome for Arizona but it gets a bit noisy on the highway. I did order the premium soft top. I read that it is much better than the standard top you get on the Wrangler. It feels thick and heavy! I would not consider a soft top in cold/snow climate. I had that and it wasn't fun. Snow/Ice would get in all the cracks and freeze up and snow would build up on the inside. Lastly, the soft top is not practical for loading things in the back. So if you are going to be doing a lot of that with your Jeep, I'd go for the hardtop for ease of flipping the back window up.

Hey, I’m curious: just how high did you have to lift your Jeep to keep your knuckles from dragging on the ground?
Eh I see no problem. If I want empathy or sympathy Id consult my wife or mother. I lack emotion for people outside my circle.
