The Jeep community and the desire to be involved doesn't make sense to me but that's based upon my own personal vehicle preferences. I don't think Jeeps are good cars but those who drive Jeeps will argue you up and down about how great they are. They have videos, social media groups, and even collectibles like rubber duckies that they use to bond with one another.

The Jeep community is not the only car community that does this, there are large followings for several different types of cars but there is something about the Jeep community that stands out. Whether it is the way they incorporate one another and don't compare or if it's the fact that I think they are full of nonsense. Either way, they are going to be flooding Michigan soon.
