I’ve said for a long time that I wish you’d finally scratch your RX-7 itch instead of all these beater jeeps, but I was just hit by a shocking thought: What if he does an RX-7 and does it to the same standard as these garbage Jeeps?

It is surprisingly less expensive when you can pass the lease as a tax deductible 

Same.

To be honest, I didn’t buy this machine because I thought it’d yield good writing material (after all, I’ve already written a series on a junky Wagoneer). I bought it because I simply love everything about it, and couldn’t resist its lure (especially considering its price).

Look at this way - it’s going to provide him with tons of material for columns, which is how he makes his living.  As a car, as a project, it’s a nightmare.  As creative fuel for the job that pays his bills it’s not a bad investment.

Excellent find. And, I’m surprised more people aren’t doing this to Gen I Cayenne SUVs, which have the power, and the load capacity,  to pull it off. And, frankly are pretty butt-ugly in stock former.

Both of these takes are wrong because both of these Porsches have driven under their own power.

Ug. I enjoy your adventures but just don’t understand.

If you’re near Sacramento I will be tenting my rental house shortly. It has a garage you’re welcome to park in. 

Hey! Nice Find. Look on the bright side.... it’s in WAAAY better shape than the POStal project.

Bravo! I love it when someone takes a somewhat meh car and changes it into something awesome.

FCA builds the perfect new vehicle for DT. Instead of buying one, DT borrows one as a press vehicle to pick up a (free) old crapcan Jeep.

I’d G-class over Land Rover any day. These are just as capable and are just funkier enough to tickle my fancy. I am a bit offended by what Mercedes has done to the model since they started officially importing them, but this older model checks all the right boxes for me.

I like this part particularly, as I’ve never really seen inappropriate vents. I imagine they just shout obscenities all day as opposed to blowing hot or cold air.

oh yeah.  and who knew about the problems of inappropriate air!

Lol supple steering and no brake pulsations.

I did the knee-jerk thing and clicked on the crack pipe vote...because gross interior 25-year-old rusty truck, amiright?

I once took a puddle jumper from Cedar Rapids IA to Chicago IL. I had the front row seat in a plane of 20 passengers. The cockpit (pre 9/11) was separated from the cabin by a curtain, which the sole flight attendant left open on the approach.

Am I allowed to not like wagons and still visit this site? 

Yeah, the front looks like a combination of 5 different designs smooshed togeher.
