is owning a Jeep an addictive behavior?

Question

I just bought my third Jeep, a Grand Cherokee. Hubby is looking for his second Jeep. Our kids have each owned 2 Cherokees and my daughter is looking for a Wrangler in her price range.

We have gotten to the point that we don't talk about a new "car", we instead say "time to get a new Jeep"....

I am wondering if we are loyalists or just too lazy to find another brand. We love knowing that we can easily expect 200K from them and we have a Jeep repair expert nearby. I feel safer in a GC...but that might be in my head.

Anyone else feel like owning a Jeep is addictive?

Answer 1

Yes, it is addictive. I have an 01 grand cherokee and i dont think i will ever buy anything other than a jeep again. they can go anywhere and do anything. also, there is no other car that looks like it on the road.

Answer 2

It all started when I got my liscense, and to this day, I still only drive Jeep!! Im currently working on my 5th! So yes, it is highly addictive! Its a Jeep thing and it seems like your starting to understand! Another thing youll find out that Jeep stands for Just, Empty, Every, Pocket ! 0IIIIIII0 Have fun! Thers is no known cure for this disease we all suffer from!

No it's not. A friend of mine bought one a couple of years ago. He kept it about two months. He could not get rid of it fast enough.I drove it once and quickly understood why. They Suck.
