LeMay Car Museum

22 Sep 2014 By admin

We spent some time up in the Pacific Northwest in Tacoma last week and visited the LeMay Museum: America’s Car Museum. I had personally not been acquainted with the LeMay museum or the family story prior to the visit and needless to say, I was impressed with the scope and depth of the collection.

LeMay, who earned his fortune running a successful waste management company in Tacoma, WA, amassed a collection of approximately 3,500 cars. While only about 350 cars are displayed at the 4 story museum, the collection covers nearly all of the 20th century and virtually every American car make…including Jeep.

There was one, lonely Jeep Willy’s on display in immaculate condition. The Jeep story was included in a special placard below the exhibit and referenced the Jeep’s unique tie to American Armed Forces, particularly during WWII. The picture of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill in a Jeep highlights the history and importance well. Very cool to see all the cars, but especially neat to see the Jeep featured in such a great collection of classic American vehicles. Jeep Wave!

Memorial Day 2014

26 May 2014 By admin

We simply want to say thank you to all those who have served and perished protecting the freedoms we hold dear in the USA. Please have a reflective and appreciative Memorial Day and be sure to thank a service member for their sacrifice and the sacrifice of those who fought and did not return. Instead of succumbing to discounts, deals, and the like today, consider donating to the Wounded Warrior Project.

 

As is tradition here at Jeepwaves.com…a solemn “Jeep Wave” as tribute from a superhero to the REAL Heroes.

Go Topless Day 2014 - Group

It’s that time of year again…to take the top off the Jeep and go for a drive! National Go Topless Day always arrives at a funny time for Colorado Jeepers, you never know what kind of weather you’re going to get.

Go Topless Day 2014 - Jeep Wave Topless

This year, we had 5″ of snow / rain the night before, beautiful sunshine in the morning, and some big afternoon storms threatening the day of, not exactly topless driving weather – but we’re quick with the top up / top down routine by now! As usual, we teamed up with the South Park 4×4 Club out of Silverthorne, Colorado and made it out for our annual Go Topless Day event, the highest in elevation event in the world!

Nothing crazy off road to speak of, but we did get muddy and had a good day in the Jeep. Enjoy the pics and share your Go Topless Day stories with us on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+

May 7th every year is your chance to spread the word about the #JeepWave. Yes, every day should be Jeep Wave Day, but we all know how frustrating it is to see another Jeep, throw out your hand, and get nothing but a blank stare in return. So, we aim to change that!

Last year, through social media, Jeep events, and personal interactions, we estimate that they word about Jeep Wave Day reached 6,000+ people. The year before, we reached more than 5,000 people. So, we’re ambitious and shooting to reach more than 10,000 this year and we think that should be easy. But, we’ll need everyone’s help!

We’ve only got a week left until Jeep Wave Day!

Please share with your social media connects on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+ and anything else we haven’t caught up with yet! Sharing pictures is great, linking people to this post, and #Hashtags always spread awareness #JeepWaveDay2014

Thanks to all the loyal followers and those who are always throwing out the Jeep Wave!
