When going doorless the radio stays on for a minute after shutting off the Jeep. When I get out, I just leave it playing (not loudly) and my coworkers ask if I'm just going to leave it on.

Happens with the headlights too, sometimes I forget something and unlock the doors turning on the headlights, then they tell me I forgot to turn off my headlights. Most vehicles nowadays do that.

Read the whole thread thinking someone else would post this one that I get a lot -- "So, does the top come off?" I usually reply, "Everytime". When they look confused, I just tell them my wife is hot.

I'vs had people ask me a question about my jeep and when I answer them they ask "IS THAT GOOD?" To me that is the epitome of " If you have to ask that question, you wouldn't understand the answer anyway"

Default Falling Out

Asked with a look of concern at a stoplight with my 3 & 5 year old in the back seat, "Have they ever fallen out of there?"

"The oldest one has a couple of times, but he just pops right up & dusts himself off."

Default Don't hate, Educate.

I understand some people should know better (like the dealers). Otherwise you should be teaching people about Jeeps not just sneering and looking down on them.

The one I get most often is why did you buy a brand new vehicle and then go try to wreck it. I guess going off road is wrecking it if they don't understand that's what jeeps are for.
To me it would have been a waste of money to buy it and NOT go off road. I'm not near as hard corps as some but I still love running greens and some blues at Rausch Creek. Besides its a blast with my family and that alone is worth the money spent on a jeep. I guess "it's a jeep thing"

Outside the commons ones posted already, I got this question from someone trying to act like they know what they are talking about, you know which ones I'm talking about. "I see you have a lift kit on your jeep." yes, it is a rough country. "So what kind of leveler do you have?" a what?
