Default Who's more hard Core, Jeep or Land Rover Owners?

The comment in ladder thread prompted me to start this one.

Here's my take on it.

An elephant was wandering through the jungle one day when he
heard squealing noises coming from a well-known quicksand pit. So
he rushed over to the pit and in the pit he saw a mouse who was
caught in the quicksand and who was shouting: "Help! Help! Save
me!"

The elephant responded: "Hang on Mr Mouse, I'll save you!" and he
threw his enormous ***** out to the mouse and said, "Grab on, Mr
Mouse, I'll drag you out" and so he dragged the mouse out of the
quicksand and saved his life, for which the mouse was very
grateful and said, "If ever you are in trouble, I'll help you!"
the elephant nodded disbelievingly and wandered off again.

Many months later, the mouse was strolling through the jungle
when he heard a very loud, deep, shouting coming from a quicksand
pit. So he ran over to the pit and in it he saw the elephant
drowning in the quicksand shouting: "Help! Help! Save me!"
the mouse yelled out to the elephant: "Hang on Mr Elephant! I'll
save you!" and he scuttled off into the bushes. A few seconds
later, with an sick roar, an ugly gray old Landrover came
screaming to a halt in the clearing and the mouse jumped out from
behind the driver's seat, tied a rope to the Landrover and threw
the other end of the rope to the elephant and dragged him out of
the quicksand.

The moral of the story is that if you have a Landrover, you
don't need a big *****.

Just so no one thinks it's "my" story, it's from the LRO mailing list in '95.
It did help explain to my wife why I've always driven land rovers though.

I'll admit that story is funny but it doesn't prove anything.
You think guys jack up their jeeps to compensate for a small *****. I would say that fits the european sports car crowd better.

I do not think you can say a jeep owner is more hard core than a land rover owner, or visa versa. The individual will wheel hard if that is the type of person they are. Additionally, most of these people will be in a Bronco, AMC, Jeep, or Buggy. You just don't see too many guys rock crawling in a rover.

Yes, I read that but I was hoping you could elaborate for the slow kid.
