Nine years ago we bought this '93 Jeep Wrangler for $5000. The gas gauge has never worked, it lost air conditioning about 7 years ago, we had to pull the radio out every time we turned it off or it would drain the battery, we held our breath before starting it up each time -- stubborn, the top is a pain to take off and put back on again, but despite all this we absolutely loved it!
However, with the Government willing to give us $4500 for it, we decided it was time to get a more reliable vehicle (with air conditioning). So with a tear in our eyes (okay, not Craig's eyes, but mine!), we took it out for one last hoorah with the top off and drove it over to the Honda dealership where we said good bye forever.
The tears dried up quickly, though, as I drove home in my (I mean our) new Honda Civic. But we'll always have a place in our hearts for the Jeep.

I don't know...that Civic seems awfully practical!!! =) That wasn't the vehicle I was expecting to scroll down and see. Thought for sure it would be another Jeep!
I had a jeep growing up and absolutely loved it. But you're right they're not the most practical or reliable. I love the Civic though. Everyone who has Honda's loves them. Obviously you guys do too.
It was great chattin with you for a sec at church today. I miss you!
Corvette!!! Corvette!!! Corvette!!!
We had that jeep too (except it had crazy huge lights on top of the crash bar - lol) when we were married in 94. Wish we still had it so we could do the same thing!
You are going to love that HONDA!!!
You are absolutely wright...they're not the most practical or reliable..
