The name Jeep comes from the military vehicle designation GP (government purposes). Sources dispute this saying that the jeep was used for specific things and never referred to as Government Purposes. The Ford GPW actually stands for G-government use, P to describe the 80" wheelbase, and the W to indicate it's Willy Overland engine. Some suggest the name came from soldiers that named it after a popular character in the cartoon Popeye, Eugene the Jeep. Depending on where you live, winter can be one of the most taxing seasons on your automobile. The potential for major damage is high when your vehicle is exposed to elements such as snow, sleet, ice and frigid temperatures. Ensuring that proper maintenance is performed on your automobile during inclement weather is the key to avoiding any damage and costly repairs that often accompany the winter months.
