Why angry? Most people don't realize AMC (parent company of Jeep from 70-87) had a division for governmental contracts. That division? AM General. Their most famous vehicle? The HMMWV, aka Humvee, aka Hummer. So, it isn't really an imposter. More like a step-sibling.

Was on a company trip in March. During downtime, I scoured local dives and flea markets for vinyl. Among the score was this album in VG condition, purchased for my wife, who has another (sans cover) in playable shape. She was very happy. It was the first album we played on the system after the trip.

Love interacting with jumpers. One day at work, I was sitting at an outside table (diamond mesh picnic style) and felt something tap my pinky of the hand resting on the table-top. Looked down and discovered a tiny jumping spider investigating me to see if I was a threat or not by playing tag.

It's not mandatory to do the duck thing. There are a few factions of Jeep owners. Pro-duck, anti-duck, and the whatever/make my own rules type. I'm a live and let live type. I'm not gonna get mad if I find a duck on my YJ, but being a vintage Wagoneer owner first, I'm unlikely to be ducking others.

Well, there's still a "pumpkin". It's just tucked high in the vehicle. Another fun fact. The pumpkins are AMC model 20 based differentials. They stay intact due to the gear reduction hubs.
