Any Black men out there that drive jeeps?
ex_sp...@my-deja.com
since 1975, I seem to be the minority when it comes to choosing Jeeps
over "other" more inferior means of transportation. Are there any of
you that are of the African Heritage, or know of some one who is that
also drives a Jeep? Just out of curiosity. Please take this post with a
grain of salt and not to stir up flames, ok?

mix...don't wanna leave anybody out. I've seen about 5 others around here
(Chicagoland), and there were plenty when I lived in Jersey when Jeeps were
the hot thing in rap songs & videos...only a couple of them were owned by
obvious Jeep nuts (V8's, lifts, etc).

I see AA's fairly frequently in Jeeps here in Columbus, Georgia. Fort
Benning is here. Now that I think about it, I saw them occasionally in Ft.
Walton Beach, too. Eglin AFB, Tyndall AFB and Pensacola NAS are all in
that area. Maybe it's a military thang?
Hey you oughta call up the Tom Joiner Show (nat'l synd morning radio) on a
Friday (open line day) and ask that. If you get on there and get to ask
that, please post a follow up here of how it went and what kinda responses
it got. TIA!
IMHO, you're asking the wrong question, though! It should be "Any Black

Jerry,
Got a feeling your 'young' compared to me. In fact, one of the reasons I got
a Jeep is because the legs are starting to go, but I still needed to get
deep into the woods quite often. Around here people look strange at an
old-timer climbing out of a TJ. ( Would you believe I got the 'finger'
instead of a wave from a young fellow in a TJ the other day).

There's one like that here in St. Augustine Florida. A red Wrangler,
lowered, little bitty tires, stock soft top and a full figured bra. It
is a hidious site and here, we can drive on the beach.
Got to admit, he's got to be at least 18 or 19 and has the wave down
good. Sorry, but I slump down in the seat when sitting in the same
intersection...(and wave back when no one is looking :~)

winch , 33 wide , Dana 44 rear , manual) , it's my fourth Cj-7. I have
never owned any other vehicle except for Jeep. I have been on this group
for a while , although I mostly listen. I go off-road sometimes although
this year I plan to get into it more.
I cringe every time I see a lower Jeep. what a waste. I actually had a
guy on a block I lived on here in Brooklyn , NY who has a lowered jeep
AND he put like velvet on the hardtop. a Rag top jeep. YUCH.
I like manual drive vehicles , being from the west Indies (Jamaica), is
probably why. I am 26 years old and I live in the city. Most lexxus and
Benz owners cringe when i come and park next to them. If you live in NYC
, you'll see more trendy yuppies in wranglers than anywhere else in the
world.
