After spending a lot of time going over my budget and bills looking for a better solution my JKUR was traded in last week for something with significantly lower payments and much better gas mileage. (A Jetta GLI, for those interested.) The cost wasn't an issue living in Texas but with state income tax here, plus a new house, it just left me with less cash at the end of the month than I was comfortable with.
It was a tough decision, as I've only had it for a year and really loved it, but at this point it was the right decision. Luckily it was still worth significantly more than I owed on it. Hopefully in a few years I'll be able to get back into a Jeep again, though I may go for something older that I don't have to worry about breaking.
The Jeep may be gone, but I still have my Subaru Outback. While obviously not up for rock crawling, it does pretty well at pretty decent speed on the rougher "dirt roads" we have here, so I won't be completely pavement-bound. I recall seeing a few other Subaru owners around here, so does anyone ever do any Subaru-oriented (rally-style perhaps?) runs?
