and I'm not discrediting the fact that they might be hard to find. I just didnt realize what luck I had on the first two.

You got lucky. I guess it depends on location but here in NC they are very hard to come by.

Myself and 3 people I know have been thru 2dr 5speeds, heck among myself and a closse friend we have about 6 AX15's. I see alot of 2dr, 5speed, 2wd stripper models around, which is what mine started out as.

Not so sure if you have ever been in a two door because the seats slide forward and fold so you don't have to climb over them.

Still a pain in the *** compared to having another door that goes directly to the back seats....you also have to wait for the driver/passenger to get out before you can get in...my point is its much less convenient...I already have older people complain how hard it is to get in my jeep, I couldn't imagine if they had to climb in and crawl to the back seat.

Hahaha I guess it's an age thing then like you mentioned. I know most of my friends like it a lot being that we're all in our early 20s.
