When I was eighteen, I had a jeep (rusty old jeeps are great cars for kids: easy to fix, tend to resell rather well, no remorse in beating the hell out of them) and acres and acres of undeveloped land surrounding me. Now honestly, what's an eighteen-year-old kid supposed to do with those two resources at his disposal?
Adulthood necessitated I get rid of my wrangler (I sank so much money into that thing). Fast forward to last summer: A friend of mine needed some cash and happened to have an 88 pathfinder he wasn't using anymore. It was a match made in heaven. I love my pathy.
