Is Staples High School the Jeep capital of the world?
Dave Briggs wanted to find out.
The well-known Westporter — a national broadcaster with CNN, NBC Sports, Fox News and Turner Sports; marketing executive with Cann Social Tonic, the micro-dosed THC and CBD drink; Westport Library board member and, later this month, Fashionably Westport MC — took a tour of the school’s parking areas, including Bedford Middle School where juniors park.
Of 133 cars, he counted 33 Jeeps. That’s almost exactly 25% — 1 in 4.
Actually, there were 34.
If you count the Jeep Dave was driving.

Ahhh. Brings back fond memories of my 1984 Renegade “Big Blue”. Standard shift – of course – A/C provided by removable doors. and a heater that was only a sound effect.
I don’t understand the fascination with them. They look ugly & dangerous to me, but I’m in my late 60’s. I have always loved sedans and station wagons.
