Theo did that real young

At night if he's quiet (but not sleeping yet) you'll just see him staring at the camera

 

Yeah I did that with Sofia once and it scared the shit out of her, to the point we almost had to take the camera out of her room so I won't make that mistake again lol.

 

Oh man opposite reaction here

He'd talk, sometimes non-stop just to keep himself awake

 

Man I would happily "retire" right now if I could afford it, I have plenty of stuff to keep me busy.

but 401k was down like 30% on the year so far, I know it will come back.... but its a good thing I have a whole lot more time before I get to the withdrawal age

 

Same, I checked mine and I doesn't look like it really changed at all from the last time I looked...but then again it's not all that sizable - no employer matching so I just plunk a little in there every paycheck. I've got like another 25 years until I can touch it anyway lol.

people relying on cashing in on them now or soon are going to be hurting though.

 

yeah I know I have mine in the "aggressive" target fund, but damn they could have aggressively moved to more cash/bond holdings like WB did lol

 

Probably spent more on supplies than what a junkyard receiver costs. Plenty of owners neglect those RX's and many end up in the junkyard because of the oil build up and carbon killing the heads.

 

It has a lot of tinsel strength, but not very strong on the lateral load

 

Man I've been browsing Raptor forums a lot lately, and kinda wonder why there aren't more organized or at least advertised "extreme" Rallys like TORR events talked about on TW

 

Different type of owners?

All the raptor owners I've ever seen are old AF dudes or a younger guy driving one that's tore to shit

 

@Ozark_RegCab

 

Our neighbor (the cool ones) has a Raptor...newer. He's about our age, give or take a few years...I can never be sure anymore lol.

What's curious to me is his wife drove a newer Range Rover when we moved in last Dec., then last month they traded it in on an electric Jeep Wrangler. From one heap to another I know, but damn that Jeep must be nowhere near as comfy.

 

It will be as reliable as the range rover though.

 

Some people just have to buy a Jeep to get it out of their system

Some people near us that had Jeeps now have that new Lexus suv, white Mercedes, or Teslas lol

 

I guess?

Probably a difference in disposable income, and I guess TW-ers are more into the broverland scene anyhow

 

That's how I've always seen it among Corvette owners and F body owners

 

Oh for sure, when I first saw the Jeep I figured it must be a rental while the Rover was in for repairs lol. But it's been a month now, pretty sure it's her new daily. I haven't been in a newer Wrangler but with the SFA setup I can't imagine they are anywhere near as cozy a ride as a Range Rover.

this malady should be added to the next version of the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders

 

I think most who wheel have wheelin buddies and don't want to group up with a bunch of novices and assholes who they don't know.

 

the FXE jeeps are pretty neat, most of the real reliability issues are in the infotainment stuff

 

I do see a ton of them around here (Socal). Never woulda guessed that a fully electric Wrangler would have been as popular as it has been
