I was looking to buy a jeep.
I had everything all budgeted out. It's gonna go with the hella-yella Rubicon maxed out everything. It was gonna be over $70,000.
Then I found out that they put advertisements in their cars.
So instead I bought an old Jeep and I'm working on fixing it up and I'm having a lot more fun than I would have being blasted with ads on a 70 fucking thousand dollar vanity vehicle.
If they offered me the vehicle for free, in exchange for watching ads, I wouldn't fucking take it.
If they paid me to own a vehicle that blasted ads at me, I wouldn't fucking take it.
I don't want goddamn ads in my goddamn vehicle.
No offense, but spending 70 grand on a Jeep is the height of wasting your money. Ads aside, they are just impressively unreliable vehicles.
Old Jeeps rule, however. Glad you found your way into one.
My '08 JK is still going strong. Just modern enough.
