			THE “JEEP THING”

As you can tell Imay have an obsession with Jeeps. It doesn't matter what it is as long as it has the name Jeep to it I love it and sometimes want it. Believe me, my wife still can't understand. My "Obsession" is a good thing though, it is a public obsession that is shared by millions of others in the world. You might recognize it as the "JEEP THING."

Now if you own a Jeep, you most likely will understand the "JEEP THING." Although I know not everyone that visits this site owns a Jeep.........................to bad I can't make that a requirement! To explain the "Jeep Fever" or "Jeep Thing" is actually hard to someone that doesn't own a JEEP, and have the fever. Although here it goes.


	You know you are starting to understand the Jeep Thing when you : Chase down other Jeeps on the road or in car parks to see what modification they have done and how it was done.


	Buy anything that has to refer to Jeep. That is anything that has the name Jeep written on it, or in it's name. Even the little yellow guy from Popeye.... his name is Eugene, the Jeep.. for the only sound that he made. As commonly seen on some bumperstickers - "Life is Simple, Eat, Sleep, Jeep!"

You collect any matchbox or model that resembles a Jeep. ( I have 2 so far)

Save your money for anything that will allow you to modify your Jeep.

Convince your wife, that she doesn't need a caravan, but yet another Jeep.

When you start having pets, you start thinking of names for them, like TJ, CJ, YJ, or at least have the name so they have them as initials..... now only hardcore people with the fever can think of something for the XJ.

The daughter (Shadows owner) has named her pedigree Australian Sliky Terrier TJ




		You might have a real Jeep if... * It says Jeep on the side * If you go to get the Sunday paper and come back on Monday without it * If you use a hose to clean the outside AND the inside * When the best route from point A to point B is through the mud * Your wife, daughter & Grandchildren can't get in without help * You judge every hill you see by how much fun it would be to climb * When you know what the wave is and you're not afraid to use it * You get custom pin-striping from trail brush * When you've been forced to add TJ, CJ, YJ and XJ to your spell-checker * Your friends won't ride with you because they don't want to wind up in the desert in the middle of the night * When you finally wash the mud off, everyone thinks you bought a new Jeep * You carry emergency supplies and clothing because you never know where you will end up * When your Nerf bars battle rocks...and win * When you drive around to look at Christmas lights topless * If your "Parts Dept." is on blocks behind your house * You spend more time with your Jeep than with your significant other * You spend more on car washes than on insurance * Even worse...the car wash won't let you in * You complain about everything but smile when you fix everything yourself * When you think Mud Brown should be a factory paint color * When you feel sorry for someone in a $60,000 Toyota Land Cruiser * When you have all your credit card numbers memorized * Your wife/girlfriend refuses to get in it * You are dating the Service Manager at the Jeep dealership * You can't hear your $5000 stereo over the howl of your tires on the highway * You have a high-water mark INSIDE the Jeep * Any tire that isn't waist high looks like a bagel * The first word out of your 2 year olds mouth isn't Mommy or Daddy, it's JEEP!!!!
