Actually, I think you’re just being a dick; Sorry, really, but just see the original post — “It’d be great if...”

Yup. And that’s why I wish Ford and Jeep would make a sensible, on-brand vehicle to cater to those of us who’d prefer a straight-up, no bullshit vehicle that is fun > lux.

Oh, and if you don’t think this shit happens with him non-stop, even Jalopnik staff saw Busey’s MO...

It was so, so fucking nuts, man. Just posted above. Cheers.

Oscar night, 2012, he’s obviously heading to a party. Two lanes turn left, he’s in the far left and mistakenly goes into the right lane, mine — whatever, I swing into the bike lane and avert the accident; Shit happens, no biggee. But I tooted my horn to let him know I’m there as I was swerving (NOT leaning on it -…

As one of a few Jalops who has actually, really, genuinely been road-raged by Gary Busey (no shit, it happened, and I’m not alone here), I will be sending you my therapy bills for that batshit crazy-induced PTSD, and hoping this awesome vehicle tanks.

This is correct. Unless you disagree with me, in which case you’re a stupid-face, nobody likes you, and I’ll fight you at recess.

Amen. But I’m kinda lucky to have both given different needs.

Is that so? Also, welcome to Jalopnik... ;)

I hear and understand what you mean but a YJ’s vacuum hoses are hardly complicated and that vehicle remains an inexpensive utility machine. 

And? My point stands — I wish there was an affordable one that people with student loans and exorbitant rent/mortgages could buy without sweating the loan. Once upon a time, Jeeps weren’t luxury vehicles but affordable utility devices and I’d like one of those de-contented ones (no AC, power windows, carpets, etc.).

This is a properly informative and educational comment. Kudos, yo. 

One word: Ointment.

Branding consultant here: You forgot the weed but otherwise nailed it.

All true, perhaps, but flying in that hump to Tokyo a few times was *awesome* (I didn’t pay for those tickets, thankfully). Admittedly, some of that was being “above” the unwashed masses but it was awfully cool being around so few people while being treated like a baller!

Leaded gas was gone before I ever drove. But yes, $9k was a pittance even then (1990). You could be a stoner waiting tables in a shitty restaurant and still buy a new Wrangler. Not anymore.

Glass is better for drinking that beer, no matter the poor chemistry lesson on oxygen — That only matters with age. Unless it’s old beer that’s been shipped all over, oxygenation doesn’t affect flavor (as someone with four breweries in walking distance, I’m lucky to not bother with distribution-heavy beers).

Are YOU not familiar with inflation? Or reading?! One more time: A little less than $9k was nothing back then too — Around $18k now.

It’d be great if one version or another was actually affordable, as the Jeep Wrangler of decades past used to be.

Which is why some will opt for a less “off-roady” version that is a little more daily-usable but is still pretty good on the handful of trails one might take it.
