Ok, except for the fact that they pay me, there's other perks from time-to-time.
I am being paid to go to a Jeep Jamboree next week and take a $100+K Jeep wheeling for two days. No booth to man, to contacts specifically to make, just two days to 'wheel and talk Jeeps and Jeep stuff with people.
Oh I can't wait!

How in the name of trees do you build a $100,000 Jeep?

That sounds horrible. Why does your employer hate you? I know mine wouldn't punish me by making me drive a Jeep for two days.

Mine would send me in Prius they overpaid for, tell me it's the same thing on their bid sheet and then discipline me when it didn't work out.

It's pretty easy to get a Jeep into 6-figure territory. This one has a stock body and (I think) frame. Not much else.

to be honest you can probably hit that price point by just getting stuff from the 'Mall Crawler Jeep Accessory Catalog'

Based on my experience with the ones Uncle Sam gave me to drive, you buy a new one and the poor build quality, terrible engineering, and chronic problems will eventually cost you $100K.

My daughter calls Jeeps "Jerps."

She wants me to sell my Range Rover and get one.
