A number of years ago I had a Jeep for my primary vehicle. I sold my Jeep Wrangler after 7 years and 150,000 miles. Nothing at all wrong with it. My back was all busted up along with my neck and a few other injuries. Simply could not stay in it any more. Bought a big comfortable 4 wheel drive truck and really liked it. But I still miss my Jeep.
There was no greater freedom than when I would leave Holiday Park Fish Camp heading my airboat west toward the Big Cypress. Fuel for 4 days, a good machete, an ice chest. No phone, no radio. Just God and me and the Everglades.

Miss my '95 Mustang 5.0...the last year of the windsor v8's in the Mustang. Sold it in 2002 when I realized I hadn't driven it in over a year. Had to keep it parked at Dad's place(no place to park a 2nd vehicle and I drove my old truck for work) 20 miles from my apartment for the last 2 years I owned it.

That was really stupid. Now you gotta buy another one and you don't even have a good reason for it.

Once we got a Jeep, back in 2004, we haven’t been able to live without one. Now we have 2 Jeeps

Yes, I have had a bunch I would like back but nowhere to put them. After having over 18 convertible sports cars, These are 2 I miss. The MGTF as it was such beautiful car and the Triumph because it was such a great car to drive... I LOVE the TR3!!! I raced them back in the day and had two set up and one parts car. With a TR4A engine bored 40-over and the head shaved 120 thow they were screamers, until the prehistoric suspension couldn't keep up. That 4-banger Ferguson tractor engine wasn't exactly state of the art, either. Thanks for posting some real cars. Rates a Two-Cool

Sold my jeep to my son in law. This first time in 50 years I do not own a jeep. I have a side by Polaris Ranger, so I didnt need it anymore. I have truck and I’m buying a new 4 wheel drive Dodge in the next couple weeks. I couldn’t see keeping the jeep. Anyone ever sell a vehicle they really didn’t want to? I’m missing my jeep already. Last month I had to trade my 1995 basic YJ to my stepson for my '66 Mustang I gave him. I'm glad to get the Mustang back...100,000 thow-original, 289 2bbl, A/T, PS, and AM radio. They were deer hunting and decided they need a Jeep more.

I had an '84 I had to trade - military to Alaska and my first child on the way! Gave the same child my '07 4 door - he traded it in on a sedan - just couldn't justify keeping it.
Was waiting for the "new" Jeep truck - been talking about it for years, now they say it's a 2020 model.
