Top 10 Lists
I have an 18 mile commute to and from work everyday. Sometimes traffic moves pretty well and the commute takes about 25 minutes. Other times traffic is TOAST and it takes over an hour. Yesterday's commute home took 1 hour 25 minutes. Today's commute in took right around 1 hour. That got me to thinking about what I like/dislike about the commute. I thought it might be fun to share on the forum. So, I submit for your reading pleasure and commentary my top 10 list for each.

10. Good tunes on the radio, hot Starbucks in my hand.
9. Catching up on the new forum posts (only when stopped of course)
8. Trying to catch up to other sweet looking rigs (see 8 on dislikes)
7. Being high enough to see the endless stream of brake lights in front of me
6. Sunshiny cold days
5. Hey! I'm in my Jeep
4. Hearing "Nice Jeep"
3. God's paintings (sunrises and sunsets)
2. Seeing and waving to lots of Jeeps
1. Having the top off & doors off (or windows down) enjoying the rig.

7. Having to deal with last-minute Johnnies exiting from the fast lane
6. Idiots who don't know (or care) what YIELD means.
5. Road rage (Really! does getting all bent out of shape make the situation any better?)
4. Idiots who speed up when you signal in order to prevent you from changing lanes (Come on! One Jeep (not car; kittens are safe) is not gonna make you any later.)
3. Watching the steadily declining mpg indicator (as if it were high to begin with)
2. Jeepers who don't wave back (or worse, look at you and ignore you!)

Yep. That's pretty much how my poor 1968 Mustang coupe feels. I'm a bad mustang dad. The Jeep gets all the money and attention while the stang languishes in misery.

If I saw all that stuff on the way into work, I wouldn't even get to work.

Today was a good day!
So, I was taking my oldest daughter to school this morning. On the way in I managed to maneuver myself into formation behind a very nice looking black JKU Sahara with what looked like 33's on aftermarket rims and spacers. It's always fun flying in formation. As we approach a stop sign in front of an elementary school, I'm treated to a very pleasant surprise. Two other JKU Sahara's flying in formation coming from the opposite direction. So there we were 4 JKU Sahara's driving slow thru a school zone, checkin' out each others rigs with Jeep waves flying everywhere.
The big bonus was that the second Jeep coming from the opposite direction was a another sunburst orange. I know the owner, she is a former UT basketball player, and I'm pretty sure she has her rig now because of my rig. We had several conversations last year about it.
Like I said, today was a good day! I love my Jeep!

BUMP! - With summer rapidly approaching and many tops coming off faster than the hair on top of my head I thought I'd see if anybody had anything to add to this thread.
Let's hear it!
