I am curious to know if there are any other Jeep Girls other than me. I am on my 3rd Jeep, and the one I have now is my absolute favorite! The outside is black with chrome, and the inside is fully loaded. I dont think I could go back to a regular radio dial...I love having the controls on the steering wheel.
Where are all the Jeep lovers?

Well, mine's a lot older, its not a city jeep like the one in your picture, and I'm not technically a girl, but I do very much know what you mean.
Mine is loaded too (orvis edition) I drove it for weeks before I even noticed the radio controls on the back of the steering wheel. I love those now.
(It's especially useful when people are riding with me, and they try to turn down the volume. I just slowly turn it back up on the wheel, and they don't even notice.)

I like messing around with people in the car too with the radio controls. Some people just keep looking at the radio, and I've had someone ask me if I had the radio on scan mode. LOL In all seriousness, the steering wheel controls are better for safety. What do you think?

Personally I hate jeeps, would never buy one but my mother-in-law swears by them. She is always saying we should get a jeep and when my husband starts to consider it I borrow hers and bring him for a ride to remind him why we WILL NOT be getting one! LOL. I can see my mother-in-laws point though I mean she figures it will go anywhere and you can go through snow up to your eyeballs in it etc... I have to wonder why you would want to though?! I also don't like the ride, very uncomfortable as far as I am concerned and it really hurts my back. Anyway, sorry haven't sold me on them yet! LOL

Yes they can go anywhere, I'll agree with that. Even the ones that don't look like they should be able to will surprise you with what they're really capable of. Why would you want to? Perhaps the road you live on is covered in snow, or perhaps you like the outdoors, and want to be able to get to the more out of the way places.
As for the ride and the seats; one suggestion for that: Get the best version of it Jeep has to offer (is it overland now?)
My Orvis edition has every option in the book, including upgraded suspension (which is extremely comfortable on-road or off) and seats that have powered adjustment in any imaginable way. Really, the jeep I have now has the best suspension I've ever used!

Not true, stock they cannot go anywhere. Actually quite the opposite. I am a big Jeep fan, but also an avid 4 Wheeler, and I know that they can deffinatly not go anywhere.
That is why I added a 4 inch Rough Country lift, Mudders, and an Aussie Locker for the rearend. Now I can go almost anywhere!
I do know that stock Jeeps are very capable for a stock vehicle, but no stock vehicle can go where I go when I go off roading. So yes I love Jeep, but sorry even a Jeep cannot go everywhere.
