Jeep Wrangler vs eight point buck.

What’s dumb is why we allow such an overpopulation of deer to exist in the first place. There are more deer in North America now than there were in pre-Columbian times. (Deer thrive in fragmented habitats with lots of forest edges. They are not creatures of deep forests. Suburbia is literally a textbook perfect environment for them, with no predators).

We should be allowing and encouraging hunting of urban and suburban deer to drastically reduce their populations. In most areas, deer populations should be reduced by 80-90 percent.

Not modern jeeps. My has a full roof, all the safety features and doors. And, steel bumpers that would crush your plastic ones. Mine maneuvers much better than my parents camera and more fun to drive.

Modern Jeeps aren’t real Jeeps. They have air conditioning, power windows and automatic transmissions. Also the 4wd shifter is usually covered in cobwebs, since they are rarely taken off road.

I desperately wish they only sold Jeeps without that stuff.

Real Jeeps only have two doors too

I might debate that one. I used to have a Jeep, two door model, and I liked the doors. Taking the doors off made me feel too exposed if I were in an accident. I don’t like the 4-door Jeep sedans.

You should be banned from owning anything with a 7 slot grill.

I guess I’m safe. I sold my 7 slot grill Jeep years ago. It was a fun car and kind of wish I had kept it. I don’t want one of those new comfortable “Jeeps.”

I know Jeeps are fun to drive, but if you’re doing speed and need to quickly maneuver out of the way something coming at you, Camry or sedan win.

Clearly you have not driven a Jeep lately. Cameras are a drag. My Jeep does better maneuvering than our sedan.

This has to be one of the most asinine comments ever. You clearly have never lived in an area with lots of deer. To imply that it is possible to prevent deer from running in front of your car or that you can forsee these events is laughable.

Jeep Wranglers cost twice as much as Camrys...

SUVs and pick up trucks are always safer than a car in most deer and regular accidents. I actually witnessed a Prius hit a deer on Rt 9. The deer was launched by the wedged shaped car about 20 feet in the air. Then it landed in a Nissan windshield. Killing both Hispanics in the car. If you hit a deer with a SUV or truck you have less of a chance of it going airborne into another vehicle. Simple physics.

WTF is wrong with you? Stay on your western loudoun fb page and keep your ignorance there.

Pretty much all jeeps suck.

I have no idea why people pay a premium for that garbage.

I’ve been a VF rescue tech for 12 years and I’ve read about more kids dead in older 2dr Honda Civics than any other car. They are way, wayyyyyyy over represented in fatal crashes with teen drivers.
