Gas guzzling maintenance pig. No thank you.
Really poor mechanical reliability too.
The only brand I trust to handle off-road out of box is Subaru because its the only cars I see actually driving in the snow
who is worse ? jeep or bmw drivers ?
How were those parking lots made unavailable? In the image the Jeep is parked outside of the designated parking spaces,I don’t see it blocking anything. Sorry I don’t get it.
Jeeps are unbelievable pieces of shit, overpriced and unreliable. But at least I understand the appeal of the basic Jeep form factor with the 4WD and the removable top and doors and whatnot; I love driving with the wind in my face and it’s probably nice to be at least theoretically capable of a little offroading.
What I don’t understand is people buying Jeep-branded cars. Then you’re just getting an overpriced and unreliable piece of shit car.

It’s a Jeep thing. You wouldn’t understand
I rode with someone who had one of their trucks and it was a very unpleasant ride. I don’t understand why anyone would choose to buy it.
I have seen these Corvette comics beeing posted a few times. They are always delightful.
Less annoying than construction guys leaving their pickup trucks in pedestrian crossings with a high visibility vest jammed in the window.
I ride my bike on the sidewalk and don’t mind taking the car road if there are pedestrians on it, but one week every day there were trucks blocking the sidewalk, to get out of the road. I do NOT like getting in the car road because a car is using the sidewalk. That feels so wrong.
I know that Norm MacDonald and Jim Downey (the writer who worked with him the most on Weekend Update for SNL) had a thing where they thought the perfect joke had to be one where the setup and the punchline were the same thing.
This kind of reminds me of that sort of joke.
For an example from Weekend Update, here’s one joke that he presented:
“Julia Roberts told reporters this week that her marriage to Lyle Lovett has been over for some time. The key moment she said came when she realized that she was Julia Roberts, and that she was married to Lyle Lovett.”
Lyle isn’t the most handsome guy, but his music is great
Jeep guy also has rubber ducks glued to his dash. Dozens of them. For reasons?
Ducking is a fairly sacred community thing among Jeep owners, most specifically with Wranglers and now Gladiators. Ducks are always gifted as a random act of kindness, so a Jeep with a lot of ducks suggests that person has been rather active in the community.
Or they’re like my neighbor, whose dash was completely covered a day or two after he got his Jeep. Plus handprint stickers on his mirrors, which I guess is another Jeepstagram trend?
so, virtue signalling then.
As a Gearhead, I find this so dumb. I don’t want people to leave trash on my vehicle, and I don’t want my dash cluttered with toys.
Normally, a driver won’t want anything on the dash. Specially colourful stuff because it would cause reflections on the wind-shield.
I can’t tell if this is real or not.
Its real. In the mercedes community (S class or better) we use dildos for the same purpose.
This is so interesting. A friend of mine drives a Tesla and apparently with Teslas it’s bricks.
It is. Jeep people give ducks to each other. It’s weird.
Idk I think that sounds kinda nice, it’s rewarding positive behavior instead of being a dickhead so I think it’s cool.
And apparently it just started recently during the pandemic?
EDIT: not sure why I was down voted, but yes this phenomenon started in 2020 like I thought:
Where can I see more of this “Corvette man?” Also why isn’t he an 80-year-old man driving 45MPH down the freeway like every Corvette owner I’ve ever seen?
A friend of mine in his 60s (I think) has a Corvette. Automatic. And he drives it like grandma on her way to church.
I understand that cops are going to be happy to pull over a Corvette. But you can still go the speed limit. And you don’t have to cruise under the speed limit in the middle lane… Basically, he’s the kind of driver that irritates me.
There’s a surprisingly large number of (new) Corvettes in my region, so you wouldn’t have to look long. However, they are mostly owned by middle aged white men who like to speed (but not enough to warrant having a sports car).
When I had my corvette I was sniffing rails off the cover of a CD driving 100+mph everyday…
Where I live it seems that all the Corvettes are owned by young men who live with their parents. Shitty jobs and their whole paycheck goes to the car’s bank note.
You probably live in an affluent area because that’s some rich people shit
Rich kids get their cars bought for them by their parents and it’s not usually a Corvette. A $90K car with no down would have a monthly payment of $1500 or thereabouts, just barely affordable for a young person with a shitty job. Having your puny net worth tied up in a sad “super” car is definitely poor people shit.
Nobody should be driving crazy enough to need a sports car on public roads. That’s insanely stupid to do. If they can afford the sports car, they can afford some track days.
Sports car doesn’t mean that in America. It just means a sporty cart. Like a flashy midlife crisis car.
My sentiment remains the same. Those cars have plenty of performance to get in to trouble on public roads.
Track days are not expensive unless you completely turf your car, so even the advice remains completely valid. Don’t drive like a jackass on public roads. Period.
Every car in America is too powerful.
Audi A3 has at least 2.5l engine. Why? Fuck knows.
Either way, having a powerful engine shouldn’t excuse someone driving like a jackass. Hilarious people are downvoting being a responsible human being.
Why did it have to be the color of the Jeep I had?
I see this more with Chevy pickups.
