[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people trying so hard on DCUM to convince others that Jeeps are a safer/better choice?

People even try to argue they are reliable.  I've owned two over the past 20 years.  They are fine, and fun.  But people are delusional if they actually believe Jeeps are either safer or more reliable than the average car/SUV.  They are nice to own, I enjoyed mine - but don't try to convince yourself they are the safer choice for your teenager or college student.  [/quote]

I think it’s just a predictable reaction to the [i]“OMG Jeeps are deathtraps! The only people who ever survive riding in a Jeep are the one who broke down! But they all break down! So everyone survives? No they still died because the Jeep flipped over on top of them while it was parked!” [/i] crowd that seems so common here.

Face, there seem to be a LOT of people on this forum who dislike Jeeps- passionately. I don’t understand it. But it’s real.

I think it’s due to them being deeply unhappy with themselves and being angry and triggered at [b]the sight of someone driving something that makes them happy. [/b]

But it’s real. Definitely. [/quote]

I am in my early 50s and had never bought a new car for myself. I did buy a Jeep in part because the terrain where I live (definitely not DC!) needs high clearance sometimes, but mostly because it makes me happy. That is new for me. I just always thought of adventure when I would see a Jeep driving or a parking lot.

There are rollover issues if you are in the wrong situation, and you need to be aware of that. There are hybrids that can help with concerns about carbon footprint.

All in all, though, 3 years out and i[b]t still makes me happy. I still smile when I see it.[/b] [/quote]

And that’s why the people who choose to drive Jeeps, drive Jeeps. Literally [i]no one[/i] drives a Jeep because they have no other option or are settling. Everyone with Jeep keys in their pocket or purse has them because the want one. Because it makes them happy. Life is too short to put up with vehicles that don’t make you happy.

[b]And that’s where the hate for Jeeps and their owners comes from.[/b] [/quote]

No hate here for Jeeps and their owners.  It’s just funny that OP is touting the Jeep for its “safety.”[/quote]
