But yeah, the prices of them are pretty insane...which is why I shy away. I don't think they are selling that well to be honest. The hardcore guys who were demanding a Jeep truck bought one already...and there doesn't seem to be a ton of others left.

Were you on vacation when you drove the Wrangler by chance?
I had a fata up five or so years ago. Was on vacation, got a bee in my bonnet about how fun Jeeps were and bought one that was a couple years old. Had so much fun for the last few days of my vacation, the kids and wife loved it, but when Monday rolled around and I drove it to work, I had that sinking
I've made a huge mistake feeling. They drive so crappy and are so slow. Tassels and straps hanging around everywhere just kind of annoying you. Terrible vehicles for just normal driving around.
Ended up returning the vehicle to Jeep and getting my old car back. They were really cool about it and I gave the sales dude $1,000 for his trouble because I felt pretty bad.
As a second car I still think they'd be fun. 4x4 in the winter and for trails, convertible in the summer (even though the top is hopelessly cumbersome). I do like them, but they're not for me it turns out and they're definitely not good as your daily driver.
