It'll do the things that 99.9% of the Jeeps are actually used for.

And this one has a place to sleep and carries bikes.

Would be the perfect vehicle to disappear with.

Place to sleep, place to store a bike, and highly mobile. :notbad:

The wants. They're real.

Tow capacity for track car, storage capacity for bike(s), a place the sleep that isn't the ground - with climate control.

A 996 with the same mileage wouldn't sell for a whole lot less than $25k from what I've seen.
