Bright I am okay with, but neon is a supercar color.

When I got the JL the dealer had 5 of those fucking purple JKs on the lot. He said they can't give them away and one was over a year old. He said most dealers buy a couple and have them for life and vote to never order those colors again unless it is a sold order.
Damn. I actually wanted one of those purple ones. I should have expanded my search more and tried to score an even better :dill: on one of those than what I got.
Apparently a lot of people want one, but they never actually buy them.

The only way I'm driving that green is on a Lambo.
I like seeing it, but I'd get sick of driving it and being seen in it.
:dat: exactly. You'll instantly be "the guy with the neon green jeep" a bit too much attention.

Cause they're all holed up in super conservative Idaho where no "real man" would be caught dead in a purple vehicle :rolleyes:

I think If I pursue the Jeep, it'll be orange or that eye-searing green.

I think the 4 door makes more sense. Same length as my car which I can obvi park. So why not have the 2 extra doors for more usefulness? Also... with the unlimited you can throw the front roof panels in the back. I don't think the back of the 2 door is large enough to do that. Maybe with the seat out but :iono: ?

You can have 2 door if you ditch your gf and kill your dog and sell all of your bikes.

Turning radius is a bit of an issue and length but other than that yes 4 door makes more sense in every other metric. The push for a 2 door is only because you live in a city..., and unique advantages of that.

I preferred driving the JK over a JKU. JK felt “right” from behind the wheel to me.

Clearly I am a :truk: moran and :wrong:
