I drive a Jeep and don't feel a kinship with Jeepers. I used to. Mine is a 2001 and in those days I could drive across town and see 1-2 other Jeeps. We'd wave, and if we stopped at a red light next to each other, there's a good chance we'd talk and possibly invite each other to go offroad or even just stop and have a beer or something. Most Jeepers knew their Jeep inside and out and had built, modified, installed and worked on every inch of them.
Nowadays, it's weird. There's 3-4 Jeeps at every red light, so why wave? A lot of Jeeps are superhero or cartoon themed which is the dumbest most childish shit to me. There's orange Nero jeeps and blue Dory jeeps, green Shrek jeeps, and they're all covered in so many damn LED lights they could signal Jupiter. I've never got into the duck thing either.
That's enough of an old man rant. I won't get into how I've seen Jeep events cancelled due to light sprinkles, how Jeep "offroad shops" mostly just sell LED lights and Jeep branded clothes now, or that time a trail leader interrupted me giving excellent advice to a Jeep experiencing brake fade coming down a mountain, to recommend taking the Jeep to the dealer.
