Dont's
1. No color matching hardtop
2. No color matching fenders
3. No chrome
4. No black wheels
5. No color other than black or green
6. Jeep can not match
7. No leather
8. No carpet
9. No power
10. No automatic
11. No navigation, really no radio unless the only song it plays is Sweet Home Alabama or Justin Beber with you singing along
12. Not a unlimited

Do's
1. Must be all black, because thats unique (see 6 above)
2. Must have black wheels
3. No wait must have chrome wheels
4. No wait must have black wheels
5. Must take jeep off road everyday to avoid being a mall crawler.
6. Must be a Rubicon
7. Must be an X
8. Never be driven on pavement
9. Be unique
10. Be like everyone else on this board. Black Rubicon Unlimited with black wheels and a black top and really a mall crawler but claim not to be.

Ok, for those without a sense of humor I'm kidding. Although I'm going to be breaking several of the rules with my '12.

Silver Sahara Unlimited fully loaded with matching hardtop. I plan on adding AEV bumpers line x'd to match with black XD's and 3'' lift. The only time I will take it off road will be the 5 or 6 trips to the deer lease a year. The rest of the time I will crawl malls and haul my kiddos around in it (with the doors on).

-If there is any evidence of tire shine on your tires, prepare to be flamed to death.

-If you think chrome wheels are a sore subject, see what happens when you mention 18" or 20" wheels, that brings out the pitchforks.

If you look in the mirror, or in this case the driveway, and you smile at what you see, then you have made the correct purchase. I'm about 62 years old. For almost all of my life about 95% of my clothes have been black, and footwear has been boots. It's what I like, and it's what I wear. The only person you have to please is yourself. If other people don't like what you are wearing or driving, well it's a big world out there. I'm sure they can find some other place to go. I'm just saying.
