Because I Drive the Jurassic Park Jeep

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve wanted a Wrangler. I have memories of my across-the-street neighbors having a red one for a short amount of time, and I loved riding in it and couldn’t wait until I was old enough to have my own. A Wrangler was the first vehicle I bought on my own, but it was only a two door, so I had to give it up when I found out I was having a kid.

I waited patiently until I could get another one, and that patience paid off. Unfortunately, life took a turn for the worse and I had to give up the Rubicon I had bought. Still, I knew that the Jeep drought wouldn’t last forever, and—again—my patience paid off.

For my birthday, my kids bought me decals so that I could make my newest Rubicon look like the Jurassic Park Jeep. I’m a huge fan of those movies, and this allows my vehicle to be personalized and all mine. I love how it looks, and I enjoy driving it around. It’s fun to watch people scrutinize the stickers and then see their faces light up when the realize what they say. 

Because I drive the Jurassic Park Jeep, when my spouse’s dealership had a Jeep show, I knew I had to do something fun. It wasn’t enough to have the Jeep parked on the lot with the stickers, so I created games (people had to shoot the blowup dinosaurs with a dart gun) and had a giveaway (people had the chance to register for a chance to win one of two plush dinosaurs). My boys even agreed to wear the blow up dinosaur costumes (not that it took a lot of convincing)—and they had a lot of fun. 

It’s a lot of fun driving the Jurassic Park Jeep, and I want others to see just how much I enjoy it.

There were a lot of other cool Jeeps at the show, and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun.
