Statistics: Maple Leaf from FF says "I am pretty sure the Jeep used in Roswell is a slightly modified 1954 M38A1, which is a military jeep used in the Korean and Vietnam wars."
Biography: Bob is a jeep. He can not speak. He can't move on his own. He is just your regular everyday jeep. Let's just clarify that right now. Whether or not he has alien inbreeding in him, we'll never know.
Max Evans and his father bought Bob from a pretty scary, tough guy when Max was 15. Mr. Evans wouldn't meet the guy's price at first, but when a gun fell out of his boot, Mr. Evans quickly paid the money.
Although Bob had a rough childhood life, when he met Max everything changed. Their relationship was of the non-verbal sort, and Bob sometimes even got the feeling that Max was never listening. Max never called Bob by name. He always referred to him as 'the jeep'. Bob hated Max's sister, Isabel, who often borrowed the jeep. It seemed like everytime she borrowed him he broke down. Even though he felt a little neglected sometimes, Bob really cared for Max and Isabel because he knew everything about them.
He heard all their late night conversations in the desert and he took them on trips to their secret alien pod chamber where they had been born. He knew that he had to keep them safe.
One day, when things got really intense and complicated, Max and Isabel decided that they needed to return back to their home planet. Max and Isabel couldn't let anyone know about their alien origin, so they decided to make it appear as if they died. They pushed Bob over a cliff and he burst into flames.
While Bob was taking his final plunge into the great abyss of rock, his life flashed before his eyes. He had no regrets. He was happy to be helping Max until his dying exhaust. He remembered all the times he saw Genie the Jetta, Max's friend Maria DeLuca's car. Although Bob would never admit it, he had a crush on her.
And as the flames got hotter, Bob remembered all the times Liz Parker, Max's girlfriend, had sat inside him, warming his cool seats. He even had one precious memory of Liz's lips brushing against his window during one of Max and Liz's makeout sessions.
As Bob's body hit the ground, he remembered all the times Max had used his powers to patch holes in his roof. And as his plastic doors shattered into bits, he could think of nothing but how many friends he had made.
As he lay in ruins, a pile of rubble, he thought only of how fulfilling life had been and how much purpose he had served. Inspiration is from the TV show Roswell and the fan-named jeep that the character Max Evans owns. Images are from Roswell Screen Grab. No infringement intended. |
