u/fuckswithducks? Can it be?
Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time .....
Just drive a duck at this point and put a model jeep on its dashboard.
Ducks are fine to drive but a nightmare to service because all the screws are anticlockwise thread
That's a cool looking bike but the guy on it couldn't possibly look more frumpy and uncomfortable.
Probably going to wish he hadn't bothered with the helmet if he comes off and loses all his skin.
What's the deal with rubber ducks and jeeps anyway?
Jeep people are a bit weird. My friend borrowed one once and gave me a lift. It had about 20 glued to the dash. She said he just gets them handed to him by other Jeep people. I asked "why?" Of course. The answer was "dunno but he has two kids with two women in another country that he never sees". I know that's not a satisfying answer but then again we're talking about people that purposely buy a vehicle that is horribly inefficient and that will flip taking a 30 degree turn. With $3000 worth of accessories. So, yeah. Jeep people are weird.
Depends what era of Jeep we are talking about, roughly after 01 they get very weird in a why are you doing this sorta way. 01 and older you basically have folks who just like them for mechanical and ease of repair reasons.
Jeep drivers drive a car made to handle mountainous terrain, but are scared of a small lip due to repaving.
Jeep drivers are insane humans.
It's a lifestyle thing and it mostly harmless. Best not to question it.
Transparency: I have owned and still do own a Jeep. I like my 2015 Patriot.
The whole concept of dweebs buying an over priced SUV designed for off road use, then not using it off road and making it part of their persona. Then taking it a step further and buying plastic trash to leave said trash on other dweeb mobiles to high five other people whom identify with a stupid truck. Its bananas how easily manipulated people are. Every time you leave a duck on a Jeep a Chrysler executive gets another bonus...
So what's up with ducks and jeeps?
Its supposed to be a way for Jeep owners to 'atta boy' other Jeep owners for having a nice Jeep. Youre supposed to buy a bunch and keep them with you, if you see another Jeep you like youre supposed to leave a duck on their hood to let them know they did a good job buying a Jeep. Then the owner of said Jeep comes back and finds the duck from a stranger, feels good about themselves and puts the duck on their dashbaord as a trophy. The more ducks on your dash, the more alpha you are in the Jeep community.
That's embarrassing.
Indeed, hence my long winded 'old man yells at clouds' rant.
I came to the comments seeking the same answer
As a classic jeep enthusiast I am disgusted with what the jeep community has become. I hate the stupid ducks so goddamned much.
The ducks are the only thing worthwhile about a jeep, otherwise its just a shitty gas guzzler designed off of a military vehicle..
I get those ducks are funny and all but that visibility isn't that funny.
everyone who steps outside knows the risks.
So same as school shooting?
I'm glad that the big duck on top is clearly labeled, so I don't miss out on the theme.
That is what I call Big Duck energy!
.......for once not auto correct.
It’s like Mad Max, but ducks instead of spikes
I do not believe he belongs in the crosswalk either. Very sus
Yeah he shouldn’t be there. But car drivers shouldn’t be on their phone either, motorcyclists do this to prevent getting rear ended by an inattentive driver.
Yeah. This guy definitely looks like he thinks about safety first. Looks like just another entitled asshole to me.
It's a Jeep thing
So you buy a huge car that has bad visibility from the get-go and then you strap giant ducks on top of the hood to make your vision even worse? America will never cease to amaze me.
In event if an accident nearby folk get ducked.
There, I used the word ducked, I hope my keyboard (Heliboard) won't remember it.
Sally Sparrow, Duck Now!
I wouldn't chalk this up to "Jeep people" - looks like an art car to me. In Seattle I've seen them with cats and other animals all over them and a godzilla.
yeah but jeep people fuck with those little ducks like some kind of sheep-dog / pickleball / brewery trivia participation trophy
Truck next to them has a blue line flag for a license plate....
Not all states require front-facing license plates. So in those states people will often use decorative plates like the thin blue line plate you mentioned.
