Jeep Wrangler

 
 

“Indeed the essence of Camp is its love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration," Susan Sontag wrote in the introduction to "Notes on Camp," the essay that inspired the 2019 Met Ball theme." There are certain models of cars that are tribal in nature. Spend time with a Jeep Wrangler, and realize this isn't a mere SUV, but a cult of personality. You'll see them parked in city streets where they make no sense, new and aged, always adored. You'll also get thumbs up and accolades from fellow Jeep drivers. In that context, it makes sense that Jeep owners are willing to overlook comfort, ride, and sharp corners for the love of their get-up-and-go vibe. In the 2019 mode, the company is making progress in these areas -- better handling, though still, it’s nowhere near the polish of a more sedate SUV.  You'll also get access to new safety systems. Who doesn't want to stay safe when pretending to rough it? As Sontag writes, "And Camp is esoteric — something of a private code, a badge of identity even, among small urban cliques."
