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!
With the permission of you gents, shall it start the stupid gun question thread? These are entertaining!!!

We were at a campground with our 30 foot toy hauler that weighs 11,000 lbs. We had backed the Jeep up to the tongue since the jeep and trailer fit lengthwise in the camping spot...And yes we got the...so your Jeep can tow that trailer, that looks real nice. I laughed then got them a beer and pointed to diesel truck parked across the lot [emoji3]

your story makes me want to start a "what's the dumbest question you've had about your gun?". I own a .50bmg, and the stupid it pulls out of some people is even more entertaining than most of the stories here. LOL!!!

I've had two bad ones:
1) I have rigid lights on my a pillar...guy asked me once, "do those work?" I had no idea how to respond. Was he asking me if they actually functioned, or maybe he really meant to ask if they were good or bad lights, or maybe he was asking if I use them as my headlights or something? I just replied, "YEP!"
The best one....
2) The weather was really nice in Colorado and I had my top off of my jeep, but doors on. Pulled into a parking lot and a guy grabs my attention as I get out and says, "I like the jeep and gave me a thumbs up." Then he walked over towards me and asked, "can you take the top off of that model?" Here's your sign....

Oh, that reminds me of another question. Was refilling the Jeep at the gas station on Tinker AFB. This rather attractive, but older (okay, probably my age and I'm 64) lady was filling her Corvette at the next pump (figured she was some retired Colonel's wife, LOL). She approaches me, pointing at the hood of my Jeep, and asks, "Is that a gun you have on there?"
