It would be a nice starter car or a summer beater.

Anything that starts and runs is worth two grand, minimum.
Agreed.
70's to 80's era Datsun/Nissan Z - I’ll even take the less-desirable 2+2 as long as it’s a stick.
Engine swap with the CJ2.
I can never understand how some people think it’s better to buy a new hybrid every two years because they may get a 1 mpg difference at the pump as opposed to saving the money, materials, shipping, and manpower, not to mention their environmental impact and drive the same vehicle for a decade or so.
I love my Jeep, but the habit of dealerships adding thousands of dollars of extra shit on to them pisses me off. This is still a $23k vehicle upcharged by 30 grand.
If you were still on The Simpson’s kick, it would be called “Rack and Peanut Steering”. The Homer didn’t sell, either.
I need a DeLorean and an SV-1 in my life right now. Everyone knows that “Bricklin” means “quality”.
Even with as much good advice as I have received on Jeep forums, Jeep people (or at least the ones who visit internet forums) can be touchy as Hell. Everyone seems to be under the impression that their Jeep is “The last real Jeep”.
Whenever anyone complains about how cars aren’t “made like they used to be” should be shown this. Even economy cars are ridiculously over-engineered by comparison to twenty to thirty years ago. Things like engine noise, fuel consumption, comfort, reliability, and rust-proofing are also above and beyond even luxury…
These people (the correctors) are the same assholes in the Jeep community that get pissy when I refer to my Wrangler as my “car” and not as my “Jeep”. Pedantic people piss me off.
I see nothing at all wrong with owning a V6 Mustang as long as you aren’t misrepresenting it as something it’s not. If you put V8 or Shelby badging on it, therein lies the problem. I wouldn’t put Rubicon decals on my Wrangler Sport, because it’s blatantly obvious that it’s not, and I’m not an ass.
I used to teach and coach football in rural Arizona (about halfway between Phoenix and Flagstaff). There was a school in our conference located in Bagdad, Arizona. The only reason this town exists is because of a mine. It is about 60 miles on a two-lane highway through the mountains from the nearest city…
I hope many more non-enthusiasts buy Wranglers forever and ever and ever. More clean examples on the secondary market for me in seven or eight years when I want to replace my current one.
I have a very hard time seeing the average F-150 buyer even considering a vehicle with “hybrid” in the title, even if it does out perform the standard ICE.
I don’t care what is under the hood, it’s still a 14-year-old Blazer that was on every auto publication’s “used cars not to buy” lists.
There is enough ugly on that monstrosity for a Rolling Stones reunion tour.
Two years ago, I was hauling a two thousand pound trailer with my Jeep Wrangler from Arizona to South Carolina. The second day, my brother and I were starting the day’s drive in Las Cruces, New Mexico. After filling up the tank, I told my brother that it was going to be a long day. We would be going against…
How is the interior comfort and driving position?
