Default Top 3 Things on your Nerves while in your JK....

I think it's that time of year to "Lament" or "Express" the top 3 things that get on your nerves while driving in your JK:

1) TRUCKS !!! Why is that 18 wheelers drive on the left lane on a 3 or 4 lane highway. Out here in Colorado, they seem to drive on the left like some fool and then kick up the tons of rocks. I have replaced over 10 windsheilds in all of my Jeeps all because of trucks. Maybe they'll learn how to drive with caution and stay out of the passing (fast) lane, even if they're climbing up I-70. Maybe when they get outsourced, they'll appreciate and repect our small Jeeps (with BIG TIRES) just trying to get a little sun with their top down instead of cracking our windshields when they decide to jump in front of us. It's all happening soon, I just hope our Jeeps don't get built in Korea...

2) WHY DON'T other Jeepers wave. We're a family, a culture, even an symbol of adventure. Heck, Even Soccor Moms "wave" passing each other in their crappy Toyota Sienna. I always through a wave, it's not a Harley, but a JEEP!

3) CELL PHONES !!! Get OFF !!! before you kill a family or yourself. There's a little invention, it's called a BLUETOOTH!!!! Now I know most of us are safe since we can easily flip if we take a sharp turn at 75 mph, but man, it's the other cars I'm worried about.

Overall, have a safe new year. So far, my 3rd Wrangler is a CHARM (knock on wood)!!! So there's really nothing that gets on my "Nerves" about it...yet.

the only thing on my nerves while driving my JK most days is why am I going to work? and why am I not offroad????

Other than that the daily commute is business as usual, no courtesy, cell phone users, people eating whatever they can/cannot fit into their mouths, putting on makeup, throwing trash out the window, reading the paper, beating their kids, shaving....

Why am I not offroading?? DAMNIT

Wink mostly content

...Couldn't resist this thread.
The ONLY thing that is tormenting me is the Hecho en Mehico windshield. If I knew I could get an American-made replacement, I would follow dump trucks around to get it over with. Other than that, I'm content.
Anybody feel my pain???

1) having to readjust the front doors to stop the clunking once a month ( yea it is time again)

2) I have to admit the cell phone thing has to change !!!!

3) If Louisiana would fix the pot hole filled roads I would not have to listen to my doors clunk.....

Peple that leave 10 car lengths between them and the car in front of them in bumper to bumper traffic.

People that wont get out of the left lane then speed up if you try to pass.

People not paying attention in general.

People who worry about how much space I leave between me and the car in-front of me, in bumper to bumper traffic, when we aren't going anywhere anyway.

Have you ever been on your way to work or on your way back to work from lunch when suddenly "that" song comes on the radio? You know that song that makes you want to live life. The one that speaks to what ever mood you are in that day. The one that makes you want to hit the open road with the top down and sunshine on your face. You keep thinking how wonderful that is and before you know it your back in the parking lot of your place of business and think to yourself..."This sucks". Well for me one of those songs has managed to come on about everyday for the last month! It really sucks! If you don’t know what I'm talking about then I am sorry!

Usually people on cell phones are just all around bad drives weather they are on a cell phone or not. So they certainly should not be on a cell phone!!

Sorry for the rant but another thing is, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings, Whatever Other Politically Correct term! It’s Christmas! Has and always will be Christmas. If a Jewish person told me Happy Hanukah I would get all offended. So Merry Christmas!! and Happy New Year to all you guys and gals!! Safe one as well!!

10 empty car lengths in front of you are 10 less cars that are going to make it through the next red light. Your not the only person on the road, so take your head out of your a$$ and drive.
