We are traveling and the rental place gave me a jeep wrangler. I realized I had never really been in one or driven one in my life. The closest thing would be a beat up 1974 international scout my dad had as a farm truck.

I hate this car. Its cramped, wind blows through it with a hard top, and it guzzles more gas than my Tundra.

Why do people have a cult for these? I understand the totally utilitarian and easy to maintain jeeps of the 20th century had a certain appeal. But this 2026 thing is the worst of both worlds. I have never hated a car before but man.
It’s junk and they are very expensive. People get them because they are mindless sheep.

If you visit the other car thread, youll see most of us say Jeeps are for fags, especially the duck people.

No idea what people see in them but hopefully your prius is fixed soon.

I have friends that do "Jeeping" on these rock trails and they love them, they have like 3. I drove one once and it felt like a weird pickup truck with the softest suspension I've ever felt, it was like driving on top of a pillow, when I turned the wheel it leaned over like 20 degrees in a slow turn... and the inside was like the size of a geo metro despite being a quite large vehicle.

Completely stupid unless you really, really need to be offroad most of the time. Having one to drive on the pavement seems like punishment.

They work well on jeep trails that are narrow and have tight turns offroad. That's about it. The duck thing just adds insult to injury. I saw one in the hospital parking lot that must have had 25 ducks on the dash board cover. Probaly a doctor.

Friend had one. It was top of the line whatever that was. He had to get rid of it because his wife didn't want him driving it with the kids in it and the hearing damage from the wind noise. He refused to answer if it ever saw even a mud puddle while he owned it. He wanted to come visit me but said he wasn't driving his new jeep down my non aslphalted driveway.
