Jeep Girl Nikki

by Nikki Flanagan
(Stafford, VA)

I've grown up with Jeeps. When I was just a baby my dad built a car seat that actually got put between the drivers seat and the passenger seat, and it was passed as safe by the police department.

We lived in Arizona at the time, so I had my first real jeep experience with the top down when I was only a few months old. Later when we moved to VA we ended up getting a '97 Jeep Wrangler, which started out as my dads, and became mine when I turned 16.

People tell me that I look like a Jeep girl before they even realize I own a Jeep, and they're right! I can't really explain why I love Jeeps so much. Maybe its because I don't like whimpy vehicles (I can't stand driving cars, yuck!), and maybe it has to do with the fact that I myself am short, so I like to feel higher up?

I mean, I do have a 4" lift with 34" tires. But for whatever reason, my Jeep is my baby!


Larry's Comment: No need to explain why you love Jeeps so much Nikki (but glad you did anyway). We understand here!
