'72 Jeep Commando, '18 JLU sport s
This is my 1st newer vehicle since 2003 for myself. We have kept my wife a new car but my dailies have been 1964 ford galaxy, then a 1977 Corvette, and for the last 5 years my 1972 Jeep Commando. I still have the vette and commando and keeping them (selling the vette this summer) but a change in work has me needing something newer, dependable, that sits four people, and has A/C and a Jeep and is the the least comprimising new vehicle for me.

My wife (And I) really want a Ford Raptor.... But with a 6 person family we need to have something that will seat 6. I actually added a 3rd row to my last JK, but we still spent more time in her Explorer as a family.
We’re a 5 person family. We all fit nicely in the Raptor (they have tons of room), but no room for the 100lb dog. On trips to the lake we had to put him in a crate in the bed, which he hated. Also, as my kids started transitioning to teenagers they were SUPER annoying to have directly behind our heads on long trips. Sitting all in a row it was impossible for them to not be goofy. These are all the reasons my wife came up with for me to trade it, anyway. ;-)

I’m curious to drive a Gen II to feel that V6 turbo. (I tell myself it must suck ass compared to that 6.2 that mine had, but other than the shitty exhaust note it’s probably better.)

I've been driving, mostly, a 2011 BMW X3 with the so called M package, which is mostly cosmetic. I also have a few other toys, including a 2017 Lotus Evora 400, 2001 Porsche Boxster S, 2009 MINI Clubman JCW, 4 Vespa's, 2004 Ducati Monster S4R and a 2003 BMW K1200RS. My wife tells me I have a problem, she's probably right.

2015 CLA AMG. It’s crazy that it is now only worth the price of a new JLR.

Fun thread! Nice seeing what people are going from before the JL. With all the toys shown, it reminded me of a line I heard that, “people buying Wranglers cross shopped getting a boat instead.” The Benz I’m trading in (like the one in this photo) was fun, but I’m 6’3” and the 5yro that sits behind me is in the 80+% in height. Between fighting with her over seat position, having to cannon ball into the low seat, and having to borrow my wife’s SUV for every Lowe’s run, I’m excited to swap!
