What about a YJ Jeep Wrangler?

Alright, I've come to the slow realization that I may just need better personal transportation options than I current have on hand with my daily driver Lotus Elise and my motorcycle. And my S/o is turning in her Audi A3 lease in a month, so we need another vehicle.

I don't like buying things at random- I need some sort of connection. So I was thinking- back when I was a kid, my favorite TV show was MacGyver. And I always like the later YJ jeep R.D.A. drove in the series. The square headlight model. I remember thinking that when I grew up, I'd own one and be cool. Just like MacGyver. Don't judge me.

Looks like they were made from the late 80's to the mid 90's. 4 cyl or 6 cyl.

I'm finding it is really tough to find a Wrangler that hasn't been modified all to hell. I don't want huge tires, I don't want a lift kit... jesus.. why do they do that? I think all those diamond-plated up, lifted, bars-all-over cars just ruin it, unless you're 100% offroading it, which clearly most people aren't. Anyways...

Anyone think this is a bad idea? I'm a fan of minimalist vehicles, and I think an 80's Jeep Wrangler and a Lotus Elise filling my garage compliment each other perfectly.....
