.....the underside falls apart with rust

I looked at several before I bought my first Jeep (GC).

The buyers will still pay ridiculous amounts for rusty examples though

This.

And besides, it's overseas, I bet it's hot stuff there, and I'd frickin' dig it over here. To each his own, just like the angry eyes mod. Some people like it, and some despise it.

And the trunk is a boot.

I've learned a lot from Top Gear, the BBC version, not the knock off History Channel crap.
