  “hi, dealership, I’m looking for a car that looks like an oversized Amazon package and rides like I’m in a trashcan being kicked by a mule. You say you have plenty of jeeps available? Perfect.”

      But if you want the front windshield to fold down

      If people actually wanted that, Jeep wouldn’t keep making it more complicated and awkward to do with each new generation.

      Neighbor got a jeep. I was shocked to learn it gets 17 miles per gallon. I get that it is an SUV, but there are SUVs with more utility that get better gas mileage.

  I rented a jeep (Cherokee?) for the first time recently. Literally a worse driving experience than my old 2000 Mitsubishi Galant. Which was the worst ever, prior to the jeep.

      I bought a Wrangler new for $27k

      '96-’01?

      given your story, it sounds like you did your best to drive that thing into the ground (not judging). I’m glad you had fun with it, as that’s what they’re for, although, you probably would have gotten many more years out of it had you actually driven it like a car and on the street (also, regular maintenance). just sayin’.

      given your follow-up, it was obviously not a long-term choice (is it for anyone?), and I’m glad you’ve found what works for you. I discovered that my vehicle of choice is the NYC Subway!

        '13, sold in 2021, hence the inflated value haha.

        I make it sound worse than it was. It was as sound as can be drivetrain wise, and every upgrade was carefully picked with a long term lifespan and serviceable parts, like a heim joint control arm set. I loved that thing, it just had cosmetic stories to tell.

        I’m glad you found your vibe too. Social phobias have me antsy in a room with more than 20 people, NYC would break me in no time. But more power to you, live the life you love.
