I had my doors off one morning and I got caught in a rain storm.. it was coming down to the point my wipers were on high. Anyway I pull up to a light and a girl stops next to me and rolls down her window. She then asked if I knew it was raining out....
I wait a few seconds and told her I had no idea

I wasn't on the road but a few months ago I was changing my oil in the old TJ and the neighbor kid came over to get his sled that the wind pushed into my yard, he's only 3 and he sat there with this bewildered look on his face. I asked him what was the matter as I crawled out from under the Jeep. He said " Why's your Jeep peeing."
thought it was cute

On the way to work one day it started raining, 60 year old woman in a BMW pulled up next to me, cracked the window and shouted at me that I was awesome with a huge thumbs up.
Most annoying one was when someone told me that I shouldn't be riding around doorless in my "condition" (I'm pregnant). I asked her if too much airflow caused spontaneous labor and she gave me a dirty look and walked away.

Supposedly it is not vehicular manslaughter if you are fleeing anarchy. The word anarchy being used literally. Actually thought it might go as a hate crime because he was attacked for simply being white. Funny thing is a friend got attempted carjacking in same area. He put his thumb in the hammer of the gun and proceeded to go 70 mph with dudes arm locked down inside vehicle in a residential area. Police found homey's shoes and some blood but that was it. Cop said same kind of thing. "Next time shoot him and we'll save some paperwork." The more police I meet in ATL, the more I like them.

The son was probably 6 or 7. Here's how the conversation went:
Son: "wow, dad! Look at that car, it has no roof or doors!"
dad: "that's a jeep. Pretty cool isn't it!"
mom (with the most angry disgusted look on her face to the son): "you will never own a jeep. You'll drive a bmw when you grow up."
then the death stare went to the husband to not say a word.
Seeing as i was less than 10 feet from the conversation i chimed up and said: "excuse me. I've owned 2 bmw's and this jeep is funner to drive than both of them combined."
then i looked at the kid and said: "if you want a jeep when you get older, than get a jeep!"
by that time the light turned green and i took off. I could see in my mirror that the husband had a big smirk on this face.

As the attention of what looked like hundreds of people turned to my Jeep the light turned green and I got outta there. I envisioned being the center of the "Let's Roll the Jeep Over" riot. HB is a great place to be in the summer, but things can get really crazy really fast!

I had the top down and the doors off to go out to the beach. I stopped at the liquor store to grab some beer. Some other guys must have been getting ready for a rager 'cause they were loading a big pile of booze into their truck. As I walked out of the store with my beer one of the guys stopped loading and just stood there with a case of beer in his hands staring at my Jeep. As I hopped in my ride one of his buddies punched him in the arm and said, "What the hell are you doing, asshole? Give us a hand!". He just kept staring and said, "That looks like a lot of fun...". I looked at him with a grin and said, "Yeah, it is.". He just stood there and watched me drive out of the parking lot.
