Birds of a feather

Went shopping the other day, when I parked Libby was all by herself. When I got back she had some company.

Three others had joined her, looked like girls night out. Mine is the one on the right, in the middle.



Funny, I have only noticed this phenomenon with Jeeps and Mustangs others don't seem to gather in herds like this.

Works with big dump trucks too, especially at the diner around lunch time.

Hmm... we have an F250, *they* don't seem to do it. When I was driving a Chevy PU, *they* didn't do it either.

I just thought it was cool. I thought I should go in to the store and have them page "Will the person driving the Jeep Liberty please return to your vehicle" just to see what happened - that would be so evil though. Prolly get my ass whipped.

That's because you only own Jeeps and Mustangs. If you had a Suburban, you would notice that they do the same.

Not by a Liberty owner. ;^)

It's the same mechanism as the Jeep Wave. Some Cherokee drivers do it too.

ROFLMFAO!!!

*Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!*

How's that Roy? Did I do good? Did I ? huh huh??

Ya know... THAT is weird, but it's not just the Libertys. it's all things with 7 slots. I have done it and had it happen. Inevitably there is another (one or more) Jeep parked next to or in the nearby spaces when I come back out of any store. It's a noticable grouping. We joke about "Jeep parking only"

I told a guy that once when I was driving the Mustang. He parked next to mine and another next to it, I laughed and told him it was "Mustang parking only" he got all flutterbustered and apologized ans was going to move his truck. I was laughing when I said it and then realized he took me seriously. When I told him I was just teasing, he got kinda pissed off.

The WAVE - I think in Henderson county, I am the only one that waves but those old farmers will break their goddamn arms waving at my husbands truck.

We had been out caching, it was in the back. I try to take a jeep pic at each cache we find, logging the visit and all that. Gives me something to do.

So... you gonna post those photos when you take em or what?

Yah sure...I've been kind of flustered lately, got spring fever really bad and ended up getting a job with a local greenhouse by accident. I'm turning into someone new, I'm actually happy most of the time! Wierd.

If I _don't_ take my camera with me, I will inevitably miss something.

Hi Kate:

Heh, heh. That happens all the time with Wranglers.

My parking lot philosophy:

I think there are 'car people' and there are 'nots'. The 'nots' park randomly about the parking lots. The car people naturally gravitate toward their vehicle of choice, if it is present in the lot. You might find that _some_ of the 'other brands' parked close by might actually also be owners of Jeeps, but just not driving it that day.

I ALWAYS look for jeeps to park next to in parking lots,,,, it's just the right thing to do!

paul did pass the time by typing:

Yep. Parked the ZJ next to two other green ZJ's and when I got back out there was yet another, but it was a blue ZJ. Hung around a bit to see if one more would show up but it was getting past my dinnertime.

It's always a hoot when your on the highway and pick up a few other Jeepers to travel with. Did that a couple years back and it looked like a photo shoot. :)
