With America healing from one of the toughest years ever, next year should be the year for getting back to friendliness, politeness, and decency.  I think the best solution is for everyone to buy a Jeep. After all, what exemplifies  America more than the Jeep, and what can be more symbolic of friendliness than the Jeep wave? In today’s Cool Cars. No Boundaries, we suggest it’s time to get back on track… and learn from the happy feeling and togetherness that comes from a Jeep Wave.

Driving a Jeep has always been cool. The mystique behind the Jeep has made it synonymous with America, freedom, and adventure. At the core of the Jeep is an attitude that we can get through this and win. The Jeep was the secret weapon that won World War II. When GI Joe came home, he brought the Jeep. The Generation was called the Greatest Generation because it was an era that persevered.

These people were up against it and gave selflessly while maintaining a sense of respect and decency for others. For 2021, Americans should resolve to get back to these values. America needs to learn from the Jeep wave.

“Good Lord, I don’t think we could continue the war without the jeep. It does everything. It goes everywhere. It’s as faithful as a dog, strong as a mule, and as agile as a goat. It constantly carries twice what it was designed for, and keeps on going.”
Ernie Pyle

…why the Jeep wave is so big in Porter County and Lake County.

Cool Cars...No Boundaries blog series in Northwest Indiana - how to have fun in a car or truck

In the summer of 2019,  Cool Cars. No Boundaries looked at why the Jeep Wave was so big in Valparaiso. While we spotlighted Valpo, The Jeep wave was equally popular in Porter County and Lake County.  We gave a Jeep convertible to some of Downtown Valpo’s biggest characters and asked them to drive around and discover the Jeep wave. It was a beautiful day and what Chris Pavlou, Carlos Rivero, and Joe Gaal experienced was magical.

After spending the day experiencing the smiles and gestures that come with driving around in the Jeep Wrangler Convertible, our chefs suggested it was what America needed.

Who could have expected what was in front of us in these simpler times? Just watch the video again.  It’s guaranteed to make you smile. If you haven’t seen the video, here is the link:  What is the Jeep Wave and why it’s so big in Valparaiso?

2021…the year of the Jeep Wave

For 2021, let’s all do as the Jeepers do. Lets smile. Lets wave. Let’s come back together.

Let’s become the next generation that survives difficult times with respect, decency, and goodwill towards all Americans.
