Obviously you don’t live in Potomac. Nobody walks.

And, why is that? You clearly have never driven one if you call it a car!


Just about every Jeep model gets the worst JD Power ranking for dependability:

Same in Consumer Reports -- Jeeps tend to be at the botom of the list.

For some reason, they are signifiers of wealth for high school and college students.

Our jeep is tons of fun to drive, has lots of accessories you can get for it. Kinda like how people like rice rockets and adding things. This is the umc off-roading type. They’re really easy to work on yourself too.

Main thing for us was a stick shift, convertible and this was a rare car that checked both boxes.

Is “rice rockets” some racial term for Japanese motorcycles?
Pretty sure Italians, German and Americans make motorcycles too. Even sport bikes.

This board really needs filter IPs from Frederick and manassas.

Might it also refer to an $8K Honda Civic with $10K worth of aftermarket alterations? I would prefer IP addresses from humorless killjoys be blocked--the joy they find in policing the thoughts and speech of others while backhanding an entire swath of folks who happen to live in an area with a low Wokeness Rating really detracts from this board.

Arlington too. It’s the new middle age man car.

+1. It previously was Harleys with this crowd. Now it’s the Wrangler with the balding paunchy guy driving.

lol. Funny thread. For all of the Jeep Grand Cherokee haters: it is a rich guy car. Overland, Summit, and other models. Cars sticker in the 50s to 70. Every well to do neighborhood, while controlled by Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and a smattering of Prius and Teslas will have a fair number of jeeps.

The teens in Bethesda all seem to drive the Jeep Wranglers not Cherokees.

I know I live in Potomac (and walk four miles a day through my neighborhood), but I’m sure you don’t or you would know that tons of people walk Potomac neighborhoods, to the Village, etc. every day. And when we walk, we see all the Jeep Grand Cherokees (and Wranglers).
