What's ironic is that there are plenty of people on here that would profile you as a female with a stock JK and call it a mall crawler. Its like the JK defines them vs the other way around.

Yeah, waves are so much nicer. 
I was at Wal-Mart a few months back and I had just installed new tube doors
on my Jeep and I wanted to take some pic's (which would eventually be used
in an advertising campaign, BTW). So I washed the Jeep. Well, at Wal-Mart a
guy in a TJ pulls up next to me. His TJ is all trashed. He obviously runs it all
year without doors. It's a Sahara and he still has steps on it that are bent all
out of shape. The bumper is stock and it's all tore up. Seat fabric is torn. He
looks at my Jeep and comments, "Mustn't wheel it." I'd just been at Easter
Jeep Safari running some difficult trails there, and was headed back in a
couple weeks. The hardtop was bashed up from a run at Disney, but it wasn't
on. The undercarriage is showing a few dents from getting hung up on rocks
at various places. There is mud all the way up inside of the engine
compartment from playing at a nearby lake. There is trail pinstriping along
both sides of the body. There's the tire I tore the sidewall out of at Disney,
but I replaced it. And then there's the hood--about a dozen dents in it as if
someone were given free license with a ballpeen hammer. The bottom line:
This bozo already had his mind made up to trash my Jeep. People like that
are petty, little jerks. I seriously doubt he'd ever wave at a JK. They truly
don't deserve another moment of your or my time.

Then you could have encouraged him to stop wheelin' because from the looks of his Jeep he's not very good at it.

I had a guy tell me "real jeeps are not bought, their built" I said I've had the thing for a week for crying out loud, give me a sec...
on another note, my Mall crawler Rubicon puts my modded up Trooper to shame with ease...

well in order to better asses the event, please post a picture of you and your jeep. did you have the top up on a nice day? is there a car seat or #1 mom sticker on the back? How were you dressed (if applicable)? 
more importantly, was this color matched canine on your lap?

first: "well in order to better asses the event, please post a picture of you and your jeep." <-- Most jeep guys are enthralled with a woman that drives a jeep and naturally want to know what they look like.. furthermore, this was the main point of the post
second: "is there a car seat or #1 mom sticker on the back?" <-- sexist joke
third: "How were you dressed (if applicable)?" <-- another joke... pertains to first point
fourth:
<-- means "joke" or "funny" or "laugh" -- maybe you missed the memoBUT, since we are all serious and shit... OP dont worry about the guy in the parking lot... i am sure he was just jealous and I hope you dont take his ignorance personally... its just not worth it man... not worth it. A couple drinks and a few good friends will help you heal the wound of being called a mallcrawler.
Oh... and back to the car seat thing being a joke... it was cause I have serveral guys in the group that wheel with kids AND car seats
btw...
<-- does not mean "joke" or "funny" or "laugh" -- just wanted to help you out before you misinterpret something else.anyways... this is your resident asshole signnnnnnningggggg..............................OU T
