Names, Names, Everywhere are Names
Hey everybody and welcome to the Jeep Life Podcast. This episode was recorded on Mother’s Day during the quarantine of 2020. Our Driveway Mechanic, Frank joins us in the studio to fill in. Jeep of the Week goes to “Shady Lady” owned by Amy Toti, Frank’s wife. We celebrated the 3 year anniversary since Amy got her Polar Edition, Hydro Blue Jeep JKU. This a great Jeep with some great upgrades…even new fenders that Frank just installed this week. Our mani topic was inspired by Frank’s new White JKU Rubicon. It needs a name. Bill and I both have Jeeps with a name… Frank’s TJ was named Gunslinger. So humor ensues when names begin to fly. Snow White, Betty White, Sir Rubicon, the White Knight of Northampton all were NOs. Listeners have helped come up with some great new names. If you like what you hear, leave us a review. It really helps.
