like an older one?

heres the prob. guys. since I was 16 or so ive liked performancey cars. i loved most everything about them. i love grabbing the road. i love how it feels like its just an extension of your body. i could go on, but lets just say if you looked at the cars ive had you wouldnt pin me for a wrangler dude - cobalt ss/tc, mustang gt, subaru sti, gto, genesis 3.8 r type, to name the stand outs, and all with a few thousand in modifications that I did - and like to do - on my own.

i really prefer vehicles that can do something, have a specialty that I use. a regular plain jane car just feels like a box I sit in that moves me from one place to another place fairly ungracefully and without any ... life? but I get it. thats what a car really needs to be, but I just dont prefer it if I can.

so what is a wrangler then? its like an outdoor box you sit in thats uncomfortable and slow and handles like ... a box on wheels, its expensive, and frankly the whole jeep camaraderie seems like it'd be more of a chore than something enjoyable. and while i enjoy having the top down, im not all that fond of way too much attention, or at least being associated with a group of people that is generally stereotyped as somewhat annoying (this goes for both the jeep crowd and car crowd admittidly)

but, ive been ina few and driven a few albeit many years ago and ive really enjoyed it. i liked the fact i felt like i was barely inside a vehicle. yeah its slow, but speed is no longer holding the same spark it used to. and ive always wanted a vehicle i cared about, but didnt really care as much about the paint, a little abuse, etc.

from a practical point of view - i hardly drive anywhere anymore. my commute is 4 whole miles and none of that is highway. I feel like my genesis is just wasting away. despite having quite a payment left on it, it hasn't depreciated much and I wouldn't be shooting myself selling it off. the jeeps im looking at are about half the price of my car (early 2000's, late 90's, no real regard for mileage). insurance is literally 1/4 the cost. gas mileage will be comparable.

I just dont know what to do!!!!!!!!!

If you get a Jeep be prepared to have every other Jeep owner on the loving planet wave at you when you drive by.

I had a 91 wrangler for a summer after my senior year of high school. It was fun to drive, but it's top speed was about 55 mph because it was in a barely operable condition, so I never really went anywhere too far from home with it.

It will never be as bad as driving a motorcycle.

Wranglers own would get a new one if had lots of money to waste.

Oh look, it's the guy who knows nothing about the mechanics of a vehicle to school all of us wrangler owners on why we drive a bad vehicle.
