All summer long I appreciate how easy it is to get in and out of my doorless Jeep and lament the turning of the weather.

My “sponsored by” flag waves proudly.

I’d be interested to see how far each would have gotten with no gas applied at all. Not to the top, certainly, but would be nice to see how far crawling in 4L would take them.

Thank you, you reminded me of a newspaper snippet I found from the late 1800s (I didn’t make note of the date, sadly), from an Indianapolis paper.

During the campaign he was willing to throw our NATO allies under the Russian bus. Why is anyone surprised he did it to the Kurds?

This is confusing, because David made his trip to Wisconsin this weekend. Maybe this is an old post just now surfacing?

These guys should meet.

Kaiser came out with a new Jeepster (Commando) about 10 years later, the blue one above. It lacked the curves of the Willys-Overland but was a more capable vehicle; the original Jeepster is probably the least-Jeepy Jeep with no off-road capabilities at all.

That’s the one pic I didn’t take, so I don’t know its back story. It’s a Willys Jeepster, so 60 years old.

Would you believe that one had less than 5k original miles? 

Blasphemer! There are countless special Jeeps.

That’s awful. I’m surprised it showed up on CarFax if they were going to be that underhanded about it.

(And cool truck. I saw a dump truck for sale along the highway a year ago and confronted the irrational urge to own the biggest truck in my social circle.)

Took me a moment to figure out what you meant by long weekend. What a dirtbag he was. Working yes, long weekend no.

Me.

Who crawls over rocks in their Jeep with the windshield up?
