I was more referring to all of the spotless, only driven on paved roads Jeep Wranglers I see everywhere. It seems impractical to me to buy a vehicle like that just to drive like everyone else.

Jeep's are super expensive too. You're paying a premium for a vehicle that is worse in every area as a daily driver and missing out on it's one actual value if you don't off road it.

I took a friend's Wrangler on a little trip to Columbia, MO and back about two years ago and I have to admit, it was fun to drive even though the trip was all highway. I also don't get many chances to drive a manual so top down with the manual and music playing... it got me thinking about maybe buying one.

I would definitely have to go with the 4 door version though. According to Jeep, the 4 door should be able to tow my boat. The max towing capacity is 3500 pounds. The dry weight on my boat is 2500 pounds. That might be a bit closer than I like BUT at the same time I'm rarely towing it more than 1 mile.

Top solvers can complete a Sunday Times crossword, on average, in 8-12 minutes. Ordinary people, of course, can't finish it at all.
I’m not a top solver.

The dumbest but most necessary thing I find myself doing now is individually separating bananas from the bunch the moment I get them home from the store now. If I wait too long, I just end up breaking every single stem before I'm ready to eat it.

Apples are a better choice than bananas

Takes me longer than that to do a USA Today puzzle.

Just got back from a San Diego trip.

The beach was mega crowded on Tuesday.

I have to admit, I am a fan of the trend in ladies swim wear.
