The Wizard's New Vehicle!


2019 JEEP Cherokee TrailHawk Edition
I just purchased a new (for me) vehicle. It's a JEEP Cherokee TrailHawk Edition, Full time 4 wheel drive (should help in the winter!)

I think it looks sharp in Firecracker Red with black accents. I've already bought 50 rubber ducks to place on other JEEPS I encounter.

Significance of Rubber ducks:

The connection between rubber ducks and Jeep owners is a fun modern tradition called “Duck Duck Jeep” 🦆🚙

It started around 2020 when a Canadian woman named Allison Parliament began placing rubber ducks on Jeeps she liked as a small gesture of kindness. The idea quickly spread through Jeep communities across North America and eventually worldwide.

Here’s how it works:

  • A Jeep owner places a rubber duck on another Jeep they admire.
  • Often the duck has a note saying things like:
    • “Nice Jeep!”
    • “You’ve been ducked!”
  • The person who receives the duck may:
    • Keep it on their dashboard
    • Collect multiple ducks
    • Pass ducks along to other Jeep owners

For many Jeep enthusiasts, it became a symbol of:

  • Community 🤝
  • Positivity
  • Shared adventure culture
  • Recognition for custom builds or unique Jeeps

You’ll often see Jeeps with entire rows of rubber ducks lined across the dashboard at car meets or while driving around town.

The tradition especially caught on with owners of the iconic Jeep Wrangler, though other Jeep models participate too.
