It started snowing really hard around lunch time. The office started clearing out as people who feared not being able to get home put their work in their briefcase and braved the weather.
So grateful the snow is no issue for my Jeep Wrangler! I worked late as usual that night and helped cover for the co-workers that had to leave early.
The boss came to depend upon me because I could always get to the office and back home safely, no matter the weather conditions.
On the way home that night, in a very steep half-mile dip, cars were stranded on both sides of the road and in both ditches. One area was so congested with vehicles in distress there was barely room to squeeze my Wrangler between them.
There were a few irritated drivers that yelled @#$%&^!! at me, shook their fists and stood in my path because I was moving and they weren’t.
I unzipped my window a bit and yelled back “You need a Jeep!!”
A few weeks later I scared a real estate agent out of his pants when we went to see a piece of property ‘way up in the mountains, where the snow was running board deep and the dirt road was defined only by the tree line on one side and a cliff on the other.
Up the mountain, down the mountain, around the curves and across the creek, my steady Wrangler gripped the snow without a slip or a slide.
We arrived at the top of the mountain and the real estate agent finally relaxed. We took a deep breath of clean, crisp mountain air and wondered if we would have such an easy time getting back down the mountain! I assured him “Of course we will. It’s a Jeep!”
The next spring, I was driving the interstate thru the mountains and got caught in high wind going thru one of the passes. The mountain is extremely steep going up into the pass. About a half mile from the gap the soft top looked like a balloon about to pop. It felt like my Wrangler and I were going to levitate.
The wind was blowing so hard it flipped a tractor trailer onto the guard rail. The cab of the truck was over the rail. The driver’s view out the right side was 3000 feet straight down to the valley.
My Wrangler carried me safely over the pass and all the way home. “Thank you Jeep!!! The best vehicle I ever owned”
