Interesting article in Car & Driver from P.J. O'Rourke about how the Wrangler is ricidulous, impractical, and uncomfortable....plus how much he loves it.

read that the day my C&D arrived, wrote a letter the same day. I never write magazines but that article was a home run. Told them I had just about decided to let my subscription lapse, but then they go and redeem themselves!

i finally got around to reading this artical (had to print it out and read it as i went threw my day :)) but i really did agree with this alot and my favorite line is
P.J. O'Rourke wrote: Give me a Jeep. It?s not perfect, but neither are we or we?d be able to afford Maserati Quattroportes. The Jeep is straight, square, forthright. It reminds us of something that makes us feel good.
and isnt that the truth :D
