You just sold me on never buying a jeep.
I never figured you were Jeep material. VW Beetle maybe or even a classic Ford Pinto or AMC Gremlin but not Jeep.

Sweet Apirilla!
I like to beat around on Yam the Bomb but I don't take it on appointments.

Believe it or not my mom used to drive a bright yellow Gremlin X. It looked just like this one 1976 gremlin X Cars in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Classifieds - CanadianListed.com
My brother totaled it out into a state trooper's car when he ran a stop sign when he was 17. I was pissed because it was destined to be mine one day.

My parents also owned a Gremlin. I have seen one driving around my town with a lift on it. Cracks me up.

That car was one of the US automakers first responses to the early Hondas and Toyotas.
You know how well that worked out for them.
If you had one in very good condition....it would be worth some dough.
I used to drag race one with a V8 in it in the Super Stock and night bracket and grudge divisions.
Scary car......big motor sitting over the front wheels of a short wheelbase made for a little extra mileage in my quarter miles passes. Lots of work to keep it between the center line and guard rail.
It has been through a few owners and is still being raced today.
I drive a 2006 Acura TSX with navigation. It's a beautiful car, and it's obviously very reliable, being an Acura. They didn't miss any detail when making the car. The rims are very nice but not flashy, the headlights are xenon HID headlights which all the nice cars must have, and the look of the car is very sporty and luxurious, but doesn't overstate your success.
You need to drive something nice. Heck, it doesn't even matter if you pull up in a mercedes. If you are nice, polite, let THEM talk (jerky, egotistical salesman never let the client get a word in), and are knowledgeable.....they will do business with you. People like having "a guy". And their "guy" usually doesn't drive a POS. If you get my drift.

Maybe it is just me, but I believe that what you drive to an appointment does matter.
Most of the people do look out the window and see what you are driving.
Most of them will look at the type of car you drive to decide if you are successful, broke or poor.
If a financial planner drove up in a piece of crap and tried to talk me out of my money, I would laugh at him.
