All those for sale signs

Bart and I got into a conversation about the "Jeep Thing" on here once. He called Jeepers elitists and I agreed that there are some snobs out there. But there are snobs everywhere - I even considered what Bart had to say a bit on the elitist side... no offense of course. But why would you let other people's attitudes dictate what you want to buy? Buying a Jeep doesn't make you one of "those people"! There are too many pricks with Porsches but they are still nice cars. Lots of snobby cyclists with Subarus; doesn't mean you are going to start doing downhill racing.

True true. That isn’t the main reason why I don’t want to get rid of the VX now. I still do in a way just something to beat up on though. I just got to thinking about it and really didn’t want to get rid of my VX. Its fun. It looks cool. I have met a some cool people (on and off line) because of it.

Also one thing about me is I am VERY indecisive.

I know how it is... I wanted to get a new Rubicon, then decided against it. Then I considered an SAS on the VX, then decided against it. Who knows what I will do!?

I really don't think Jeeps are bad vehicles. In fact, they are very capable, super modable, bad @$$ off road vehicles. There is no question about that. I have several friends who love them, and they are not elitist @$$holes.

But, you know what it really is for me? During my short, 15 minute drive into work today, I counted 7 Jeep Wranglers. Had I been paying attention, I probably could have counted 10 Jeep Cherokees. And I probably missed a few of each.

Its just like Apple I-PODs. I really have no problem with the device itself. The interface is good, it plays MP3s, there are million accessories for it, but I think my Creative Labs Zen Vision, is just as good, if not better. I feel the same about my VX. Not to mention, I counted only 1 VX on my way to work, and I was in it.

And one more thing, if I was to buy another off roading vehicle (that's not another VX), I would probably try to find an old 70s Ford Bronco. I just love em.



Or, one of these, if I could afford one:

Amen Bart. I feel the same way. And have always liked the old broncos and defenders too.

[Scott Harness]

Defender...Yes!! My thing with Jeeps are reliability,rough ride,they are everywhere. They are great off-road. It would have to be a hard top that I would never take off. VX's run circles around them on-road. I could not see me driving a jeep to Moab and back from Texas. There is a reason you always see them on a trailer or being towed. Uncomfortable. I'll stop ranting now!
