I'm not complaining, but in the words of the 80s band Poison, "Every rose has its thorns." Every other car comes with all kinds of packages. That might include a sport edition, interior upgrades or technology setup. Jeep Wranglers come with a special package I like to call "Jeep Struggles."

Sometimes people ask if we are about to go mudding, cliff jumping, sky diving or some other crazy adventure. Chances are we're just going to pick up the dry cleaning because no, we don't all backpack across Europe.

We often mean to take the top off, but we realize it's a lot of work and we also have to drive to work tomorrow with a 40 percent chance of rain. (Should've kept that top on!) Also, we have to be sure our paychecks are secured in a compartment before we take off topless.

Sometimes we let down our fellow "Jeepers" when we don't see another passing jeep in time to return "The Wave." It feels kind of like letting down your buddy when they go out of their way to say "hi" and you don't realize it until it's too late. I didn't mean to reject your kind-hearted wave, I promise!

When your friend takes a ride in your car for the first time and is surprised you have a Jeep. This usually implies the coolness level of your car exceeds your personal coolness level so dramatically that your friend is left confused.

We have to ask everyone who gets into the passenger side to close the door again and slam it a little harder. It's really not a big deal, but its usually the beginning of almost every conversation as we get into the Jeep with our friends. "Nope, still open, Buddy. Try one more time." Sometimes the passenger knows their door isn't closed and re-closes it before we say anything. That's when we give them nod that says "You rock, Bro."

It can be a bit nerve-wracking when you're cruising at 80 MPH and you can't help but notice the hood rattling violently as it catches the wind with its very non-aerodynamic shape. We have to try not to think of the hood latches failing and sending the car into chaos. Those rubber latches will hold, right?

It takes practice to get into and out of a jeep gracefully, and even after practice, there are just some days when we're about as graceful as this dog trying to stick it onto the couch (see above). Sometimes we struggle jumping up into the cabin with coffee in one hand, breakfast in the other and a bag. Not to mention the doors don't stay open so sometimes we just look like a mess.

In all honesty, we are pretty normal people with jobs and kids and school. At the end of the day, the Jeep struggles just make things a little more fun!
