"I have wanted a Jeep Wrangler since I was seven years old. Obviously it would be red, not with a hard top, but with a cloth top. You might think this preference impractical given the winters of the Midwest - where I grew up - but, the cloth top is clearly superior. The cloth top allows you to cruise around lake country, blaring your jams (aviators optional), without a care in the world. Well, I take that back, there is one care: the Jeep Wrangler itself. Don't mess it up. It's not some 30-year-old pickup you 'borrowed' to go muddin' from your Grandpa's farm. You don't drive the Wrangler down a road that's just been sealed, either, because that loose tar will destroy it. There are rules to keep the Wrangler in good shape.
"Some people may argue that Wranglers were built for roughing it, and mud, scratches and dents which mar them over the years are simply signs of use. The fact is, though, they look best not when they're covered with mud, but when they're factory new. Just look at the Jeep website if you doubt me. The pictures Jeep displays on its site show gleaming, pristine vehicles climbing over rocks surrounded by pine trees."
In a recent commentary, Brother Patrick Mary Briscoe, O.P., reflected on the similarities between caring for a Jeep Wrangler and caring for our souls.
