How would you have responded?
I’m sure this won’t surprise you but the number one response I got was, “Symbolizes my personality.” Could it be true that we pick vehicles that are like us? Thinking back on my list, I certainly would like that to be true — especially the six CJs I’ve owned. On-road, off-road Jeeps have limitless capability. When the trail gets mucky, lock the axles, drop it in 4LO and pull through. They’re honest, fun, surprising, rugged, tough, torquey, reliable… Not bad qualities for a guy. And when I hop behind the wheel, I can experience all of these things through my Jeep. Truth told, I think that few of us choose vehicles that are really like us — rather, I think we choose vehicles that have the characteristics we want in ourselves — tire-smoking power, mud churning capability, head-turning good looks… Is it true for you? If it is true, the next logical question is… how do we close the gap and live as powerful and capably as the cars we admire?
