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?

I hate any vehicle that encourages social interaction. That's why I drive a surplus police car: people don't even wanna make eye contact with me!

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 19 points 2 hours ago

It all seems pretty innocent to me

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

Yeah that pisses me off too - total wimps pretending they are outdoorsy badasses

[-] lividweasel@lemmy.world 2 points 26 minutes ago

It… pisses you off that Jeep owners have some innocent fun?

No, the custom 'angry headlights' are the cringiest shit ever.

[-] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 11 points 2 hours ago

Now I want to put ducks all over my Chevy, give it an angry eye mod and plaster "It's a Jeep thing" stickers on the back.

[-] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 hours ago

now i wanna do this on my honda ruckus

[-] kahjtheundedicated@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

I have an old jeep, and I agree, jeep people are cringe as hell. I inherited my jeep, and like it for sentimental reasons. But it is built like shit, and probably the least practical a vehicle could possibly be.

And also I swear the “jeep person” as we know them came out of nowhere in like 2010. At least around me they had a sort of reputation as a hippie car when I was growing up.

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago

I agree with 100% of everything you just said. I can't stand Jeep people. That fucking wave they do to each other... God it drives me crazy.

[-] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago

I'll add RAM and Dodge owners to this list. They're all assholes in a hurry.

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 hours ago

They are douchebags but they aren't brutally annoying like jeep people are

[-] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Fair, but they're all part of the same conglomerate, so equal treatment

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Something about jeeps gives me an irrational feeling of hatred though. I don't like dodges or teslas either but those for some reason don't give me the same intense feelings lol

I would put jeeps on par with harley davidson motorcycles in terms of annoying

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Oh hell yeah. Hard agree.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

I own one and don't see anyone on the road calmer than us. It is a minivan though.

[-] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Durango is the main Dodge culprit

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

I assumed the ram after the jeep.

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

They have a wave? How did I not know this.

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Oh yeah. When they pass another jeep they lift 2 or so fingers from the steering wheel or if riding with no doors hang their hand out the side kinda downward.

[-] eurodyne@piefed.world 3 points 2 hours ago

And they used to be so great…

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 32 minutes ago

No money to be made if they kept churning out 4.0L's. Need to sell you trash to make money

Same reason GM just discontinued the 5.3, it's too reliable to sell

[-] shartgargle@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 minutes ago

Lol yeah, it's reliability is why it got a class action lawsuit.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

That's the thing that gets me about all this--the success of these cars is based largely on the past when they were built better. Now they look the part of the old-school classic Jeep but cost-reduced and modernized in ways that impinge on its capabilities and overall reliability. It's a Jeep-shaped p.o.s. from what I gather which really is a sad end for what was once such a great off-road vehicle.

[-] eurodyne@piefed.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Once upon a Time, the capitalist philosophy of steadily increasing profits was enough to sustain a corporation and their shareholders.

Not anymore

Now it’s an infinite-growth philosophy, where each quarter must be 1000x of greater growth than the last, and no amount of throat slitting can satiate the thirst of the shareholder. This relentless investment baking philosophy is killing us all, but first, all of these companies will eventually kill themselves.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 5 points 2 hours ago

my wife when complaining about a new dodge model said. They have jeep seats!

[-] Akh@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

I just want to know why the fuck they buy like every little fucking custom accessory for their jeep. Like we get it, you want to show everyone you are different while being exactly the same as every other jeep owner

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 hours ago

It's the angry eyes mod that kills me the most inside

At least they dont usually put one of those stupid little ladders on like Toyota people do

[-] Dr_Fetus_Jackson@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

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.

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Look at it this way, they're telling on themselves, just like BMW and Mercedes owners. You know to stay away from them when you see them, because they're idiots.

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

Yikes I have a BMW haha

[-] Shameless@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

While they do exist outside the US and are just as poor quality, the mods to such an excessive degree I feel is more a US problem because people often see cars as an extension of themselves.

In many less westernised places a car is just simply a mode of transportation and doesn't say too much about you or your family.
