  Cool. What does that have to do with the whole “Jeep Culture” thing?

    It means you dont need to shit on a random interest. What did rock crawlers and off-roaders do to you?

      Be as interested in Jeeps as you like.

      Saying you’re part of a culture because you bought something (especially something prohibitively expensive) is not something I will do anything but mock.

      I don’t hear about “Mercedes Culture” or “Nissan Culture.” Probably because people way into those cars understand that it isn’t a culture just to be into a car.

        I’ve not heard of Jeep culture, myself, so now I’m going to imagine a colony of asexually-reproducing microscopic Jeeps in a Petri dish.

        Today, O Squid, you have broadened my imagination beyond yesterday.

        I find it weird in general when people compliment things that i had nothing to do with. Like: nice tattoo. Thanks, i sat there for a bit and then it was done. I had a girlfriend who treated her car like she designed and build it herself. I even made a joke once where i said exactly that and je just cold heatedly said: she does that too. Like if someone would insult her car, she would take that very personally.

        Reducing peoples interests to consumerism is your culture i guess.

        If i buy a mountain bike is my culture a mountain biker? How often do i have to ride to be justified in thay belief? How often do i have to post online about bikes? How many hours of youtube do i need to watch of mountain biking?

        Jeeps do things normal passenger vehicles dont and people creating a community of interest on that basis is valid.
