A Mike Life: Meet the new Jeep

  • Adam · 1 year ago
    Nice jeep! My neighbors had one just like it, it was always muddy and nasty because they did a lot of off roading. I'm sure it will serve you well.

    Definitely a nice jeep, the MPG kind of sucks right now, but we'll get over it :)

    Needs a few odds and ends, but I think it will do nicely.

    That is one sweet ride! I used to have a white TJ much like that one until my now ex-husband made me sell it. Gee I wonder why we ended up divorced. :)

    Very nice Mikey, I can see you and little Eli cruising with the top down. :-)

    The Jeep looks like a 'Madge' to me. Big and tough, but with a soft spot for those close to her and fiercely loyal.

    Hope you and Madge will be happy for many years to come.

    Radar.

    For Cpl Radar O'Reilly who always knew when his CO needed a ride.

    (CommentLuv picked up an awfully old post for me. Don't know why.)

    I don't think I've ever heard the name "Madge" before, lol.

    Radar is interesting :)

    You could name her "Amanda" for Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls.

    Then just play "The Jeep Song" on endless repeat.

    I wish I knew what the Dresden Dolls were so I could decide yes or no :)
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    Here's a link to "The Jeep Song" (forgive the idiotic picture, but all the other videos had terrible audio.)

    The Dresden Dolls are a duo out of Boston who describe themselves as "Brechtian punk cabaret". Honestly, that's as accurate a description as I can imagine. Their two moderate hits (on the alternative scene) have been "The Jeep Song" and "Coin-operated Boy".

    And they are *awesome* live.

    How about naming the jeep the obvious "RED" or "BUTCH". Most people named butch are redheads.
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Interesting Gramma...Red is good, but obvious...not sure I can go with Butch though :)

    Although money may be a problem, the truck should've been kept. The Jeep wouldn't be suitable if you need to bring the baby along. There would be way too many bumps and noise in the Jeep than it would be with the truck..

    That sucks, I was planning on taking the kid off-roading on his/her one month birthday....

    Anyways, we have a station wagon for the kid...should be enough.
