I think that would give him too much credit

On the one hand I can laugh and generally share in the same sort of anti-jeep sentiment (also when riding my Suzuki I tend to ignore Harley 'stuck-ups' too unless 'they' initiate a wave first..lol)
But, in all seriousness, with a front open-diff and LSD rear I could see a stock VX or alot of other 4X4's fail in the same (should not have picked a parking lot to show off) situation.
My Dad had to tow-strap his neighbor's Ford Explorer out of his own front lawn even though the Explorer's driver side wheels were on the paved street. I'm guessing it probably had open diffs front & rear. The neighbor was clearly disappointed that his "4x4" couldn't escape the situation under it's own power!

It's a Jeep thing because he is in a parking lot.
When I got stuck I didn't even realize I was in mud. I just stopped after I crossed the creek and sank in down to the frame. Once I realized I was in the mud it was too late. I probably wouldn't have gotten stuck if I would have just kept driving.

i agree though, its more of an idiot driver thing... but that suggests that some jeepers have a tendency to think they are invincible... (key word SOME, but it only takes a few to ruin the reputation of all)

No sir, not defensive... annoyed... Now tho, I'll get defensive!Everyone knows Jeeps are abundant, everyone knows lots of people like them, want to own one, has owned one... so there will be several sightings of people in Jeeps practicing idiotic behavior, which is inherent of ALL people. Likewise, if someone went from driving a Civic to an FJ they may want to get it offroad in the city in some sense and end up in the same situation - equally stupid. I heard it said, Tone (rest his soul) single handedly tarnished the view of VXers by other Isuzu folk. If you heard someone bashing VXers because of a run-in with Tone, or anyone else for that matter, wouldn't you be annoyed? If a pic of a stuck VX ended up on an Integra forum and everyone decided to bash the lot of us, would you not be annoyed? You were annoyed at hearing how goofy 4-door sports cars are... Now, if that crap was aimed at generalized version of you at every turn by a group you belong to, how would you view those people? I bet you would be annoyed and view them as unclever children.
For all we know, some VX owning, paintballing kidtook dad's Jeep out one night and got it stuck in the mud. So if you replace "some Jeepers" with "some people" and keep things 'all encompassing' that way instead, you'd all make a little more sense.
But the "oh another Jeeper doing the Jeep thing"... I mean seriously, where is your imagination? It's like repeating a joke everyone has already heard... or in effect, it's like driving a Jeep... "unoriginal."
aww, you jeepers getting defensive??
