I hate Jeeps (thelemmy.club)

Dad ran an auto repair shop for the last 45 years and says they are the single worst brand of vehicle you can buy, I don't even think that's why I hate them so bad though

He also said they are generally annoying customers

These ducks they put all over their interiors is the cringiest shit ever and I can't even explain why it bothers me so much

If you follow any offroad forums you'll notice the jeep people will use insufferable vocabulary such as "my hubby" or "fur babies" or "puppers"

What's wrong with these people and why do they buy these cars?

Not all are like that. I bought a '04 TJ Wrangler Sport back in '16 that had the full compliment of cheap lift, shitty wheels, 35's, and so on. The thing only had 64k miles on it and was a pavement princess that had never been off-road. I bought it and then promptly took it back to factory suspension, wheels, and +1 sized tires that rode as well as could be expected. Every piece of cheap crap they put on that thing was sold and paid for it's return to factory specification. From there it was a great little cloth top Jeep that was fun to own and I smiled when I drove it.

In regard to your statement, I do despise the "I'm unique just like everyone else" crap they do to jeeps. I think it better to keep it simple and upgrade a thing only when it's necessary.

The problem is they're now so cheap and unreliable that that comes on pretty early.
