A Jeep Thing Is Now Just Ducky

If you've ever heard someone say "It's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand," they're probably right. Jeep is its own culture, and if you don't get it, well, you're not alone. It's a phrase that's been around for years and  is often used by Jeep enthusiasts to describe the unique bond that they share.

Sure, other car enthusiasts have their own cultures and ways of doing things, but Jeepers are in a class all their own. They're a passionate bunch who love nothing more than spending time off-road, getting dirty, and pushing their vehicles to the limit.

A recent article from autoblog.com talks about a gigantic 61 foot tall inflatable duck that towered over the 2022 Detroit Auto Show.  What does a giant inflatable duck have to do with a Jeep?

According to the article " Why a duck? Because it commemorates a recent trend in the Jeep community called "ducking," in which Jeep owners hand out rubber ducks to compliment one another's rides."


So, if you see a Jeep with a rubber duck on it, don't be alarmed. It's just a friendly way for other jeep owners to show appreciation for their fellow Jeep enthusiasts. What about you? Are you looking to get into the Jeep culture? Or are you needing another car?

We have a great selection of inventory to choose from. If we don't have it, we can get it.Just use our vehicle locator service and we will track it down for you.


What's Next, A Flying Car

Will Electric Cars Will Become Yesterday's News

Technology never stands still for long and, as anyone who's been paying attention to the automotive industry over the past few years will know, electric cars are very much the future. But what's next?

One area that is currently being explored is the possibility of flying cars. That's right, flying cars! While it may sound like something straight out of The Jetsons, there are a number of companies working on this incredible technology and it may not be as far-fetched as you might think.

Here's a headline from a recently published article from Car and Driver

Hyundai Subsidiary Unveils Flying Car Concept That Could Fly U.S. Skies by 2028

"Hyundai is also investing heavily in the nascent industry, launching a U.S.-based subsidiary called Supernal last November to focus on the so-called "Advanced Air Mobility market.” Now, Supernal has unveiled its eVTOL Vehicle Cabin concept at the Farnborough International Airshow in England, showing what the passenger compartment inside its upcoming intra-city air shuttle could look like."

Don't Count On Getting Frequent Flier Miles Just Yet

In addition to the technical hurdles that need to be overcome, there are also a number of regulatory issues that need to be sorted out before flying cars become a reality. Just like most industries I'm sure that traditional airlines are not going to be too thrilled about the idea of having competition from flying cars.

And then there's the question of whether or not people are actually going to want to fly in a car. I have to admit that the idea of getting stuck in traffic on the freeway is not all that appealing, but then again neither is being crammed into a metal tube with a bunch of strangers for hours on end.

Flying cars would obviously have a lot of advantages over traditional ground-based vehicles. For one, they would be able to avoid traffic jams and get from A to B much quicker. They would also be able to park in a lot less space and, perhaps most importantly, they would be a lot of fun!

You Bought A Car And All I Got Was A T-Shirt

While getting a tattoo in general is not a universal sign of car love, it does show a high level of passion for a certain type of vehicle. More traditional examples of car love include, adding aftermarket accessories such as wearing a shirt with the car brand's logo, or getting a keychain or coffee mug with the car's image on it.

Have You Lost That Loving Feeling?
