    They’re fun to drive, they just break incredibly easy in weird spots. Like the seatbelt holder/guide? Why would that break. We don’t own one, but have rented a few of them when we go to Hawaii.

      I’m sure they are fun to drive off road, but the only time I’ve been in wranglers has been pavement princesses and they are super uncomfortable and drive like steaming dog shit on paved roads

        They’re fun to drive on pavement too. They have good turning radius and they’re fast. I wouldn’t own one though, I think they’d be in the shop a lot.

      Well, if you’re renting, you have no idea what the previous renters treated it like. Just remember, you’re sharing a planet with idiots. They might have just been punching the seatbelt holder for no reason. And then you, not having that information, are like “why’s the seatbelt holder broken?”

        It was pretty fucking cheaply made. There were other things that were odd too, I just don’t remember them all. I understand what you’re saying though, especially in Hawaii. Even having taken that into account, there were some really odd, cheaply made decisions on jeep’s part.

      We don’t own one

      Translation: I own multiple cars

      rented a few of them when we go to Hawaii.

      Translation: Has disposable income enough to go on multiple trips to Hawaii

          I just don’t like your class privilege being bandied about frivolously. You are in minority of people who could even come close to affording those things, and you don’t seem to even care

          Edit: Also, who is “we”? You and the mouse in your pocket? The royal we? Do you have multiple people using this account and commenting?

              Affordable to whom? People who have high enough paying jobs to actually save and are also able to take time off from work? That’s “plenty” of people, sure. But they’re all assholes. At least here in the U.S.

            dude, you are talking to fricking Pele… have some respect. (also a really wierd take to complain about using “we”, you could just assume that they are either talking about them or their family, who fecking cares?)

            We do things very inexpensively in real life so we can afford to go to Hawaii every so often. We have super old cars so we can afford to go to Hawaii every so often. I know you’re trolling, I just don’t get why. Last comment.

              I’m not trolling. Rich people just piss me off. Everybody else is doing things “very inexpensively” and and still not affording those trips.

                This is middle class, nowhere close to rich. This is actually how most of the western world lives.

                It sounds like you’re a very bitter, miserable person to be honest.

                Let me help you then.

                • Hawaii flights from Seattle are less than going to anywhere else in the country, if you look for them on sale through Alaska or Hawaiian. Make sure you sign up for their miles account because that’s how you get the deals.
                • You can also find deals on small hotels or airbnb’s (in Honolulu only) for very cheap if you get the ahead of time. You have to do everything at least 6 months in advance.
                • I rent the cars usually through Costco and then watch them. Sometimes it goes down. If you rent on Costco, you can cancel at any time, so if you find a better price, take it. They also don’t do the scammy shit if you do it through Costco.
                • We eat out once and do lots of free shit, because Hawaii is awesome for free things to do if you like to hike or explore.
