To pull out your (insert whatever 'ORV' they are driving) when you get stuck

 

My boss's wife sees my jeep, looks at the obvious soft top and asks "so can that be off or down like a convertible?"

 

At the gas station the other day, and my Jeep is absolutely covered in dust. After a 200 mile off road trip to the north rim of the Grand Canyon, and back, It looks more like a white Jeep than it does a Crystal Granite colored Jeep. The guy next to me filling up his F150 ask "do you take that off road"?

 

I was asked the other day if I like my tires for on the highway. The guy asked what kind of mileage warranty they had... As I stared at him with a blank look and back out at my bias ply Iroks.

 

I constantly get the 'what edition is this that it comes stock like this?' The best was one time a girl cutting my hair(who drives a grand cherokee) asked me if i 'thought' it could really drive in the woods like in the Jeep commercials.

 

I pulled up to the security guard at the gate to get into work and he asked me, "Are you sure you can handle that thing?"

It was all I could do not to give him the one finger salute.

 

Driving on a bumpy New England road with my Nephew:

"Does this thing have a suspension?"

My Fiance:

"What happens when it rains when your top is down?"

"Why do you never lock your doors?" (Back windows removed...)

My soon to be Mother-in-law:

"Why doesn't your car have back windows?"

 

My boss actually said "I was behind you on the way into work and those shocks on the back look really small. You should get bigger ones..."

I was very confused and responded, "Ya I'll look into that."


I also get, "That looks top heavy. How does it handle?"

 

Fellow walked up to me in Moab and asked me, "Where can I rent a Jeep like this?"

 

As I was pulling into the spot just in front of my house the other night after a trip to Fordyce, it's late and I am tired after the twelve hour drive. Some weekend renter across the street comes out and starts oggoling over the car... after a couple of "that's nice," etc., he comes out and says, "what suspension is that? It's so bad ass, it's got to be Metal Cloak, right?," To which I said no, I built it. His response was classic... "My dad's Metal Cloak is the best suspension, you should look into it. No one can keep up with him, it's so bad ass." I guess I should have been expecting it... his buddy came out first and asked what it was, to which I told him a "rock crawler." The 'smart' one then came out and started his questioning with, is it a "rock crawler or a buggy" ... just prior to the MC rant. I assume his brain was filled with propaganda and when he heard "rock crawler" he must have thought "rock krawler" as in the company.

There you go... that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard regarding my Jeep!
