Back in high school I had an 89 Wrangler 6 cyl that I got with 3k miles on it (stolen/recovered) that could never pass emissions at inspection. Could never get the carburator working right. It was a huge pain in the ass..little things made me crazy, I push in the lighter and the dash shorted. The bolt holding the door on broke and the door never fit right again. The list goes on and on
THAT being said.. I loved every minute of it, most fun I ever had with a vehicle...but when my parents forced me to sell it (well, because they floated all the bills) I was heartbroken. I ened up with like a honda civic...don't get me wrong I loved the honda too. Lasted me 6 years, 140k miles, with little more than oil changes and a clutch and was still able to sell that after college for 5k.
So, after years of remembering all the fun I had with my jeep for those brief 6 months, last summer, now in my 30s, went out and bought a nice used Wrangler and now I have the money to do all the things I always wanted to...lift/tires/wheels etc. It's a blast. Granted some little things still go wrong but I don't care, because now I fix them myself, pay for it myself and I still have that Honda in the driveway as my primary driver.
