Jalopnik drew me in with Jeep coverage, and Oppo let me return that in spades. Dear heavens I found a lot to talk about in my two and a half years under that umbrella.

You might not have heard, but they’ve got this pandemic on...

I have booked my favorite cabin at a state park for the entire week of Christmas. Me, myself, and I will be avoiding family religiously this holiday season.

Yes, that’s already gone awry.

I bought a white GC last week and named it Snowflake.

I vote we return to gravel roads everywhere. Problem solved!

I wonder which is more rare. I’ve only found one manual, and no 5.9s.

They’re remarkably versatile.

To me that looks like a perfect place to put a roundabout.

I spotted this J2000 in a weird corner of Nowhere, Indiana a couple of weeks ago. Looks like it’s still in use, but didn’t see anyone around to ask about it.

I’ve not heard good things about that transmission, so I would avoid it: I don’t need two Jeeps with broken transmissions. One is bad enough.

A few months ago I saw a guy ignore the mandatory mask ordinance, ignore the mask sign on the door, go into a pizza parlor and lean over the counter to talk practically in the face of the cashier.

There are plenty of used cars with a manual transmission

Conversely, the Koons Jeep dealership gets big discounts on group buys so their internet sales guy offers Wranglers, Gladiators and other Jeeps for several percent below invoice on factory orders.

I didn’t actually know that.

I refuse to accept any system of classification which defines a Wrangler as a “car”.

What’s interesting, though, is that when people argue about the “first” SUV, the CJ/Wrangler never come up. It’s always the XJ, or Wagoneer, or something #notajeep.

I have to imagine Socias is absolutely devastated. To be in any way responsible for the death of your partner like that...ouch.

Good catch; I think I was so enthralled by the Rhino grille I didn’t think critically about it. Still learning my grilles.
