about Flipper the Jeep
"They Call Him Flipper ..."
Flipper is a 2010 Jeep Wrangler that has been upgraded by its owners for offroad adventures. Flipper loves to explore the deserts and mountains of the American West, but spends most of its time in Wisconsin.
Flipper got its nickname because it was always "playing in the water," and because its owners
are scuba divers who love dolphins.
