A bit of Forshadowing

Jeep in the Future

I've been going through old pictures, trying to pare down the duplicates I've got, and I ran across this.  See the green car on the trailer?  Yeah, shot in Barstow on the way to SLC to grab a '48 Willys Wagon.   Anyway, I thought the color was neat.  Little did I know that 2 months later, I'd have a CJ-8 on that same trailer in that same color chasing me 1500 miles to home.



  I remember telling people, "That's a pretty neat color", and "its almost like the Jeep color they had in 06".  And now I've got that color on my Scrambler.

First Drive in the Scrambler
Irony on the Trailer
Limely Pondering.



I didn't set out looking to run this Sublime Green color, but it photographs really well, and keeping it will save me some painting on the Scrambler project, so WTH?

I've ran into a lot of people who hate it already, and maybe Cappa's antisocial disorder is rubbing off on me, because, perversely, that is making me want to keep the Scrambler that color even more.

How many of you completely hate it?
