Not a Jeep you would want to go mudding or rock climbing.

Some people just like impractical toys. I'm sure there are those who think the same of us with our cameras.

Yup, and how many SUVs do I see equiped with brush guards all around and a $800 light bar with nary a scratch on any thing! Never been off road!!! But, I do use my cameras :)

Well ... when you invest over $80,000 in a truck, ya tend not to want to risk destroying it off road.

That little sucker must be loud, looks like straight headers to collector and no mufflers!!!! It's cute, but would look like a mudpuppy after a trip to 5A or the down to the Compound in Palm Bay - I do like the Mickey Thompsons though!

I always thought the place to go to buy a used, high clearance 4x4 was San Diego or Phoenix you could be sure they had never been off road. Guess I can add Tampa to the list. Good shots of a cute and useless vehicle.

The shot was taken years ago in Bloomsburg PA, home to the Summer 4X4 Nationals ... I think the Jeep is from PA or NY.

Not useless ... like the old saying, one man's trash is another's treasure ...

I'm sure that's a very capable little Jeep, V-8 power and probably a lot of other tricks (I know Jeeps very well, I've had a few, still have two)...useless, (hardly), practicality (totally depends on the owners intent), cute (yes that one and many others) that one would be called a "girlie" Jeep here in mudville. Most here fall into two main catagories - 2 door traditionalist Jeeps (like mine) subset is usually strictly off-road, or strictly on-road (because its difficult to be set up right for both -especially swamp/mud buggy, which are usually trailered to run site (or rock climbers in other states) and 4 door boulevard cruisers, subset mostly on-road posers, and a few off-roaders (same reasons as 2-door off-road) different crowd. There is a big difference between the 2-door crowd and the 4-door crowd (a generalization)....the traditionalist 2 door crowd all wave to each other, act friendly, the 4-door crowd seems not interested and not friendly, snobbish I'd call it. Jeeps (Wranglers, CJ's and such) are not for everybody, but they do have their loyal following, the SUV Jeeps (including the 4-door Wrangler) are for a different crowd, and they basically have saved Fiat-Chrysler (their best selling brand here in US). I love Jeeps, wife loves hers, but that's just us.

You can always tell the vehicles that have been used off road. Some places call them brush burns. Here we call them Arizona pin stripes. They separate the boulevard cruisers from the vehicles that are used for what they were designed to be. My last off road vehicle (can't afford those toys) was a 1968 Dodge Powerwagon. She finally died a natural death in the desert 20 odd years later. I drained the fluids, rolled down the windows and left her there. RIP.

Powerwagon: another old off-road favorite! We get palmetto stripes here in Florida (like saw blades)!
