...and as for bass guitar forums...well, dont even ask.

Guitar players are a dime a dozen, you got to have a good bass player and a good drummer to make a decent band

What are the worst things to say / you can hear about a Jeep? Some thoughts:

• Referring to it as a “car”
• “I would never take it off-road. It could get dirty! Eww, no!”
• “Why is the gas mileage less than I thought?”
• Spouse after new tires and lift: “Wow, for all that money you spent, I don’t see much of a difference!” “Is that it?”
• Dealer: Any sentence that begins with “We regret to inform you that we will not be able to repair your vehicle under warranty because…”
• “Your new 2021 Jeep order has been completed and should arrive at our dealership in less than nine months! Thanks for choosing Sleezeball CJDR for all your Jeep needs!” You and your wife then have two new children before you can take delivery, and thus you have to cancel the order.
• A larger, more beefed up jeep pulls up next to you at a traffic light. You give them a friendly smile and jeep wave, only for them to look down at you with a condescending smirk, laughing maniacally “heh heh heh” as they pull away while rolling up their tinted windows.
• You proudly pick up your date in your freshly cleaned wrangler. The first thing they say is “Ew, what’s that smell?”
• The second thing they say when you put it in gear and pull away from the curb: “Oh no, what’s that sound?”
• “Please don’t ever take the top off? It’ll mess up my hair!

This should be good…

I hope you don’t plan on rolling this one like you did to your last one. Yeah, like I planned that !

Officer pulls you over on the highway. “Do you know how fast you were going?!” You reply, “I wasn’t speeding.”

Then he takes a step back, looks at your jeep, and laughs, “You’re right, my bad. No way you were going 85 in a 65 in THAT thing! I must’ve mistakenly radared the Bronco that was on your left at the time!”

This happened to me, but not on the highway. I was going back to college after 5 years in the Marines. Most of my classes were at night and the shortest way home was through a small town near me.

I pulled up to a stop sign one evening, see a cop sitting in the tree-line in the bank parking lot. Make a right hand turn in front of where he's "hiding" and head down the road. Dude pulls out right behind me and pulls me over as I exit the small town city limits.

He asks me for my license and registration, then tells me he pulled me over for speeding. 45 in a 35 is what he says. I laughed at him, told him I saw him hiding in the bank lot and said there was no way in hell my CJ-7 got up to 45 mph in the 50 feet from the right turn to where he pulled out behind me. It just wasn't possible even if I hadn't seen him and was trying to go fast.

He sat in his car for a LONG time before coming back, giving my documents back and telling me to have a nice night. No ticket, no warning, no nothing. Asshole.

Only time I've ever argued with a cop when I was pulled over.

"That part that's causing your power steering to short out will be here in 2 months...actually make that 3 months." -Jeep Wave Specialist

4 months from order to delivery and now it's 3 months before the "cluster" comes in which should fix the problem, and call me a pessimist but I'm giving it a 20% chance of actually fixing the problem. At least I get a good upper body workout every time I drive it.

I still haven't decided which Jeep vehicle, if any, I'll end up with. I kind of leaned toward a Wrangler unlimited for the goose gear back seat removal and everything I can get a couple of guitars and amps...
That's the answer to the question is you can get more guitars than I own in the back of a Wrangler.

I am a hoot at parties, sadly...it's because I'm not hanging around talking to people I'm usually playing guitar.

Station wagon...an estate car.

Are you the guy always walking around with an acoustic guitar on your back?

People referring to every 4x4 in existence as a Jeep.

Sparty got me thinking and the worst I can think of, “nice station wagon”. Here’s a partial picture of my Michigan title where the Wrangler is listed as a station wagon for all the non believers. This is a JLU, my JK, 2 door was also listed as a station wagon. Michigan Secretary of State, that’s the DMV, has some different ideas, I guess.

I've said for years now that SUVs are little more than station wagons with a factory lift. Lower them a bit, remove the 4WD, and in practical (and aesthetic) terms that's exactly what they are. The legacy, box-like profile of a four door Wrangler may in fact be the exemplar here.

Is "station wagon" really the worst descriptor? Or is it perhaps just uncomfortably accurate?
