My daughters (2 and 4) like the ducks, but I’m not keeping them in my Jeep, that’s for sure.

To be fair, I do agree with @guruman . It bugs me that people feel the need to turn something designed to be a way to brighten someone’s day a little into a ploy to make it about themselves.

Word.

There is a large group of Jeep owners near me. 100% mall crawlers, mostly soccer moms with RGB stick on everything on their Jeeps. They frequently visit an ice cream shop in town, which is owned by my neighbor. They do this thing when the meetup.... if they are going to the ice cream shop, they won't actually meet there. They will meet somewhere else, like the mall, and parade to the destination for maximum attention and IG posts

I work from home, so I don't go out much, but it seems like every time I go out to dinner with the family one of them spots my Jeep and leaves a dang duck with a card inviting me to join their group on FaceBook. Between the old JK and my new 392 I have been ducked over ten times in the lat couple of years.

I get that they think it's cute, and that they are doing "The Jeep Thing". They are just trying too hard for the Instagram hits.

I live in an area where you don’t F@@@ with peoples rigs: no flyers on windshields in parking lots, no squeegee hobos at stoplights, and so far, and no one risks touching someone else’s property to be cute.

Sounds awesome. Where am I moving to?

. In Florida they don’t squeegee, they kick your car if you don’t give them money.

we have been thinking hard about a move lately. I have a cousin in Nebraska, and homes are generally way cheaper out that way. I’m sure far less people want to live there and that’s why, but it’s a plus for me. Any specific towns you recommend looking at property within out that way?

Not too many vagrants in Wyoming this time of year. Sleeping under the bridge in February seems mighty cold.

We'll be out that way in August, staying in Cody for the whole month. We'll be doing some easy trips into the mountains around Meeteetsee, Clark fork canyon, Sunlight basin, the Pryors and probably the Bighorns (hoping to follow the Wy GBD route, but. I need to research routes.)

I'd be interested in some route recommendations and maybe a trail partner.

Wyoming is on my short list of states I want to visit. I've had diner in Laramie but I dont think that really counts.

I have family in Fort Collins CO, they have a huge homeless population there and gets plenty cold.

I live near and work in Fort Collins and can confirm, in the last 10-15 years that population has grown exponentially.

Just ordered the historical black plate for Colorado.
I was torn between having “RV8ICON” or “SMKWAGN” (SMOKE WAGON). I went with smoke wagon.
