They sold it after a few years. "The best vehicle I never drove." is how they described it.

Time to go back to the 80s, when trucks LOOK like trucks, and Jeeps LOOK like Jeeps.

My girlfriend's older brother and sister-in-law have this car. They use it in the winter because both of the enthusiast cars they drive (Camaro and 'vette) don't cut it. It's... alright. If it were me, I'd sell the damn thing (they've easily sank thousands of extra $ in it for repairs) but they won't because it's a special edition or something. I'm getting frustrated just thinking about it.

It was also more aesthetically pleasing (at least for me) to look at from any angle, especially in-person, regardless of its body color. And it didn't have such ugly "split stacked" headlight design like on this Jeep abomination and this one:
