      Jeep people are a bit weird. My friend borrowed one once and gave me a lift. It had about 20 glued to the dash. She said he just gets them handed to him by other Jeep people. I asked “why?” Of course. The answer was “dunno but he has two kids with two women in another country that he never sees”. I know that’s not a satisfying answer but then again we’re talking about people that purposely buy a vehicle that is horribly inefficient and that will flip taking a 30 degree turn. With $3000 worth of accessories. So, yeah. Jeep people are weird.

        Depends what era of Jeep we are talking about, roughly after 01 they get very weird in a why are you doing this sorta way. 01 and older you basically have folks who just like them for mechanical and ease of repair reasons.

    I wouldn’t chalk this up to “Jeep people” - looks like an art car to me. In Seattle I’ve seen them with cats and other animals all over them and a godzilla.

      Rubber ducks are definitely a jeep thing, keep an eye out and look at the dashboard of jeeps you see, odds are it won’t be long until you see some ducks. It’s the same thing with bikers and gremlin bells. But this example is extreme enough to almost definitely be satire.

    The whole concept of dweebs buying an over priced SUV designed for off road use, then not using it off road and making it part of their persona. Then taking it a step further and buying plastic trash to leave said trash on other dweeb mobiles to high five other people whom identify with a stupid truck. Its bananas how easily manipulated people are. Every time you leave a duck on a Jeep a Chrysler executive gets another bonus…

        Its supposed to be a way for Jeep owners to ‘atta boy’ other Jeep owners for having a nice Jeep. Youre supposed to buy a bunch and keep them with you, if you see another Jeep you like youre supposed to leave a duck on their hood to let them know they did a good job buying a Jeep. Then the owner of said Jeep comes back and finds the duck from a stranger, feels good about themselves and puts the duck on their dashbaord as a trophy. The more ducks on your dash, the more alpha you are in the Jeep community.
