Well, here's the deal. We love the Miata, but we can't take it to the cabin for fear of putting a hole in the oil pan on the dirt road. It's just not a dirt road car. So we decided to sell it and buy a Jeep.

Well, once I started shopping for Jeeps, to get a decent one cost like $12,000 plus, and I really don't like putting that much money in what basically would be a toy.

So I started looking for an alternative for off road capable, top down, fun vehicle, and I remember my old Tracker I had. I can get one of them in about the same condition as a similar Jeep, but for less than 1/3rd the money of a Jeep. If this was going to be my daily driver or something for some serious off-roading, or I needed an image boost, I would have gotten a Jeep, but I think a Tracker will do what we want and be fun as hell, and I won't have a bunch of money tied up in it like I would with a Jeep. And if we get tired of it, I can probably sell it on here for someone a cheap hunting vehicle for about what I'll have in it.
