Renegade =/= Jimny  

Families made that change when SUV’s got 4 doors (Cherokee). Families did not buy Samurais. I think your recollection is more than hazy.

“...that wasn’t a Jeep.” You just identified the vehicle that started the SUV craze. The XJ was and is far more popular than the Samurai and also predates it in the U.S.

“...a Jeep maintaining 80mpg...” - did you mean 8mpg? LOL at funniest typo in a long time!

I like to wash my CJ, and there is dirt embedded in the damn paint! (my first and last attempt at painting a car)

I survived 5 years of my home renovation using my old Forester pulling a 4x6 trailer.  That said, I bought a Tacoma in May, and don’t regret it one bit.  Pickups are fantastic!

You should look into International Scouts. While they all are prone to returning to the earth in a reddish-brown, they had quite the color palatte back in the day!

As a long time jeep owner I hate them too. It’s really supposed to be a fun-loving vehicle that doesn’t take anything too seriously (especially welding the frames together).

Thanks for posting the right answer. Here’s the other front runner:

So does the rest the of world, and there’s not a thing wrong with that either (ssssh FCA’s lawyers might be on here so don’t call it a “Jeep”!)

I’ve been a Jeep CJ owner from the age of 14. While some get in a huff, that does’t offend me at all since every contemporary solid axle 4x4 was a copy (and often times improvement) of the original Willys: Land Rover, FJ, Mahindra, Scout, Patrol...you name it. I can geek out about Jeeps enough to make David Tracy fall…

*Or get off on extreme premature tire wear.

Got it, “textbook definition” versus what actually exists in the world. (Donk and textbook, I’m laughing and crying)

Wait you’re serious?  They may have started there, but have definitely moved past that and have for a while now.

It works on a small scale as well...https://www.citylab.com/solutions/2015/03/the-complete-business-case-for-converting-street-parking-into-bike-lanes/387595/

OK I’ll bite...why can’t you turn a Buick in a donk?  There must be a joke I’m missing because you most certainly can.

Makes statement, then immediately contradicts statement. Good job at internet commenting there, bub. Instead of telling people that drive “appliances” to get lost maybe you should go for a drive in you pure enthusiast vehicle.

LaCucaracha?

Have you tried rinsing with LaCroix?
