People love their jeeps for reasons that cannot always be quantified. A guy that I'm doing some work for at the moment has a new 4-door Wrangler that is heavily modified by some outfit in Texas. Kevlar coating on the body, big wheels and lights everywhere + a cool rack on top, the works. Must have cost a fortune.

I rode in it yesterday and took some pics but I haven't yet figured out how to post pics from my iPhone to this board. It really is cool if you're a Jeep lover. They have amazing resale and a following that just doesn't care about their objective shortcomings.

I should add that this guy is really successful and has a choice of rigs to drive including a modded C63 Benz but he loves this Jeep. He's a French Morrocan guy who loves all things American, especially cars. He just bought a really nice '68 Mustang Bullitt clone that he was telling me about.

So I guess the point is that like old 911s, you can't judge these vehicles purely by their purposefulness.
