I'd rather invest in my house at this point.
Anyway, I currently have two Jeep Wranglers, a 1995 & a 1997. Paid cash for both.
This. We have a '96 Miata, and '95 Ranger, and because Mrs. T insisted, an '06 Commander. I traded in a '98 Cherokee with transmission problems for the Commander - and strangely I don't regret it.
