Jeff & His Jeep


Interesting facts about the Jeep:
~ it is officially an antique (I guess when cars turn 25 years old, they achieve that status)
~ Jeff hasn't washed it since he bought it (the only time it ever gets cleaned is when it rains)
~ if you drive it when it is raining and some water gets in through the less-than-waterproof top, you don't have to worry a bit about flooding inside because there are holes in the bottom of the floorboard through which you can see the road, and the water would quickly drain out
~ the green bungee cord in the bottom photo is used to hold the driver's door shut (Jeff got tired of his door flying open while he was driving down the road, so he fixed up that way to make sure it stayed shut)
~ Jeff often has to deal with tailgaters because he can barely get up to 55 mph in the Jeep, and that's going downhill :)

All in all, we love the Jeep and are very grateful to have it!!!

This jeep reminds me so much of the truck my husband had when we first got married. The "gas indicator?" was broken so you had to guess if you had enough gas to get there, it too hadn't been washed in years (husband liked it dirty), and you couldn't go much more than 55 mls. per hour in it either. But I have really sweet memories of it too. It's where Nathan and I shared our first kiss!
