This is about Jeeps, and may be sort of a rant. And I will probably look like a jerk posting this. So here goes:
Huntsville, Alabama is home to lots of smart, smart people. My uncle calls ‘em egg heads. Slide Rules is another term. No disrespect intended, but a lot of the crowd gets their self esteem just from that- being smart. Because they can’t play sports, aren’t adventurous enough for alcohol, can’t buy a date and dress like a pud.
So my wife and I are at business and a couple park beside us. They all drive a Prius, an Accord, a Camry or whatever Consumer Reports says is the smart choice that year.
They compliment the Jeep, say they considered one but had studied the “side impact” downsides of the vehicle.
Well, here we go. I wondered if they ever got concerned about the downsides of living a dull, totally planned and “approved” or politically correct lifestyle versus life with no top, no doors, no schedule and no worries? I mean just an afternoon to breathe the air, see the beauty as it surrounds you and the wind envelopes you. To sit higher than every vehicle and feel sorry for the guy in the Maxima who is dying inside a little every day.
There are few vehicles that have ever set me free. And a Jeep is a sure fire win every time I am behind the wheel.
Right now it is 11-30. I am “down by the river”.
I ride ‘til nearly midnight every summer night, listen mostly to 80’s Rock or whatever i’m into at the moment, and relieve enough stress to sleep good and fight another day.
If this post makes any sense whatsoever to anybody, please accept my knucklebump.
Maybe i’m just shallow enough that this is all it takes....a jeep ride...but it works like magic for me. Hope it does for you too.
