Red Jeep CJ Comes Full Circle For Tim McGraw And Faith Hill

What comes around, goes around.

The red Jeep (a 1978 CJ-6) that Tim and Faith borrowed and drove a few times when they were dating was later found by Faith and then given to him as a gift -- years after they were married.

Today, that very same Jeep plays a role in their professional lives as well, because Jeep is the sponsor for their 2007 Soul2Soul tour.

In fact, Tim and Faith announced their 2007 Soul2Soul tour plans while standing next to that red Jeep CJ outside of the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.

New Jeep Driving School Opens In Sedona, Arizona

Have you ever passed a dirt trail and wondered, “Where does that road go?”

With the growing popularity of offroading, more and more people are seeking the answer to that question -- which means the need for off-highway safety and etiquette training is more important than ever. Especially for Jeep owners who sometimes push the limits a bit more than most when they're off-road.

Although many people use their Jeeps as a daily driver for on-road transportation,each and every day new Jeep owners are tempted to brave the occasional dirt road or even try some rock-crawling. But most people don’t realize that even driving on a smooth dirt road will require different techniques than driving on pavement. To top it all off, more intense offroading requires an entirely new set of skills that you simply can’t learn by watching a video.

Now there is an accessible, convenient and affordable provider for off-highway driving instruction: Sedona Jeep School.  If you live near Sedona, Arizona (or you're looking for a reason to take a vacation), I'd encourage you to get some insider tips and 4x4 driving instruction from the pro's at Sedona Jeep School.

One thing's for sure... when you've got a Jeep, and you ride around with the top down, you end up with some pretty strange-looking hairstyles sometimes!
