My west coast brother has evidently recuperated from his week in the wilds of Des Moines, and informs me that today is National Jeep (4x4) Day. If you don't know or have never been a Jeep owner, I must tell you they tend to be very, very loyal to their Jeeps. Personally, I have never owned a Jeep, and as a current owner of a Fiat, am a bit of an automotive outcast in my family. My west coast brother has owned seven?? Jeeps and still owns parts of several of them. All of his children have driven Jeeps over the years, and his second son has inherited his interest and has also accumulated several. In my more immediate family, my daughter has owned at least one Jeep and my son-in-law has owned three but they only keep one at a time. Years ago when my husband and I owned our VW Bus they were still unique enough that if you passed one while driving the drivers waved at each other. I wouldn't be surprised if Jeep owners do the same.
PS A fellow Fiat driver waved at me the other day. It felt good.
