Jeeps are unbelievable pieces of shit, overpriced and unreliable. But at least I understand the appeal of the basic Jeep form factor with the 4WD and the removable top and doors and whatnot; I love driving with the wind in my face and it’s probably nice to be at least theoretically capable of a little offroading.
What I don’t understand is people buying Jeep-branded cars. Then you’re just getting an overpriced and unreliable piece of shit car.
I have seen these Corvette comics beeing posted a few times. They are always delightful.
Less annoying than construction workers leaving their pickup trucks in pedestrian crossings with a high visibility vest jammed in the window.
I ride my bike on the sidewalk and don’t mind taking the car road if there are pedestrians on it, but one week every day there were trucks blocking the sidewalk, to get out of the road. I do NOT like getting in the car road because a car is using the sidewalk. That feels so wrong.
Jeep guy also has rubber ducks glued to his dash. Dozens of them. For reasons?
Ducking is a fairly sacred community thing among Jeep owners, most specifically with Wranglers and now Gladiators. Ducks are always gifted as a random act of kindness, so a Jeep with a lot of ducks suggests that person has been rather active in the community.
As a Gearhead, I find this so dumb. I don’t want people to leave trash on my vehicle, and I don’t want my dash cluttered with toys.
I can’t tell if this is real or not.
It is. Jeep people give ducks to each other. It’s weird.
And apparently it just started recently during the pandemic?
*Orders a box of rubber ducks just in case
Hearts and minds
I know that Norm MacDonald and Jim Downey (the writer who worked with him the most on Weekend Update for SNL) had a thing where they thought the perfect joke had to be one where the setup and the punchline were the same thing.
This kind of reminds me of that sort of joke.
For an example from Weekend Update, here’s one joke that he presented:
“Julia Roberts told reporters this week that her marriage to Lyle Lovett has been over for some time. The key moment she said came when she realized that she was Julia Roberts, and that she was married to Lyle Lovett.”
Lyle isn’t the most handsome guy, but his music is great
Where can I see more of this “Corvette man?” Also why isn’t he an 80-year-old man driving 45MPH down the freeway like every Corvette owner I’ve ever seen?
A friend of mine in his 60s (I think) has a Corvette. Automatic. And he drives it like grandma on her way to church.
I understand that cops are going to be happy to pull over a Corvette. But you can still go the speed limit. And you don’t have to cruise under the speed limit in the middle lane… Basically, he’s the kind of driver that irritates me.
There’s a surprisingly large number of (new) Corvettes in my region, so you wouldn’t have to look long. However, they are mostly owned by middle aged white men who like to speed (but not enough to warrant having a sports car).
Where I live it seems that all the Corvettes are owned by young men who live with their parents. Shitty jobs and their whole paycheck goes to the car’s bank note.
Nobody should be driving crazy enough to need a sports car on public roads. That’s insanely stupid to do. If they can afford the sports car, they can afford some track days.
Sports car doesn’t mean that in America. It just means a sporty cart. Like a flashy midlife crisis car.
Why did it have to be the color of the Jeep I had?
I see this more with Chevy pickups.
