Save Jake

This petition is designed to save our good friend, Jake the BMW. Jake has etched a special place into all of our hearts, and he has never let us down. For nearly 20 years, he has faithfully taken us wherever we have needed to go. His wheels have trudged down Lower Roswell and up Riverside more than one could count. He has been at the center of so many memories, both good and bad. For over 215,000 miles, he has carried countless people around the southeastern US, with no complaints except for simply letting us know when he is unhappy about the cold.

Jake has more personality than any new car could ever muster. He has survived 3 new drivers, many hail storms, a motorcycle, numerous days in the Pace parking lot, Kathleen's entire wardrobe and has thus become a staple for the McNeill family and their friends. He boasts a larger sunroof than any other car on the market, an absence of cupholders, and more memories than most people have in their heads. Jake has become an icon, and we can all tell a great story about something that has happened in or around this fantastic automobile.

Unfortunately, Jake's status as a member of the McNeill clan is in danger. There are certain parties who feel that Jake is simply a money pit or a useless waste of time and resources. We must argue against these naysayers and support Jake's return to glory. Jake should be fully restored and brought back to his original state. He cannot be simply cast aside as if he has meant nothing to us. He is, in fact, the ultimate driving machine.
