I had no idea what I was getting into buying a Jeep!
I’ve been a Kia Sorento owner for nearly 14 years ….it was time for a change.
Something FUN!
My word for 2024 is FREEDOM!
Picturing myself driving with the top down, music going, sun shining, wind in hair…hello freedom!!!
Nothing says freedom more than that vision right?!
Little did I know I was getting much more than that.
Duck and Wave
Duck, duck, Jeep!
At first I was like duck, duck, what?! Yes, look it up (duck, duck, Jeep)- it’s a whole thing!
So Mark, before we even purchased the Jeep had a box full of rubber ducks …my first day driving it to work he had “ducked” me …meaning put a duck on the Jeep. Check out the story of how and why this started here.
That’s why you see ducks on the dashboards of jeeps! I had no idea and always thought what the heck is that and that I’d never do that ….. little did I know, yes I would.
Currently I have two ducks on my Jeep dashboard. The second one I received from an assistant I work with – of course, it’s a dental duck! The duck is holding toothpaste and a toothbrush.
Of course I “ducked” her back as she’s also a Jeep driver and put a green “dragon duck” on her jeep as green is her favorite color.
Now aside from the ducking there is a whole Jeep wave!!
Jeep owners give a wave to other Jeep owners as they pass one another – as a form of respect and acknowledgement that you both own a bada$$ vehicle. 😊
This makes my day anytime I wave and get a wave back. I feel and LOVE that connection!
It’s amazing such a small gesture can have a big impact. Sometimes it really is the little things. Read more about the Jeep wave here
And just yesterday another Jeep driver, with his top down, feeling the FREEDOM, gave a big fist pump and yell!
It made my day and gave me a big smile, and honestly even a little laugh. Thank you enthusiastic dude in another Jeep!
