After 19 years together, I sold my Jeep Wrangler. Pretty sad to see her drive off! It improved my attitude just knowing the Jeep was in the driveway. Nothing keeps you young like regularly getting beaten to death by a Jeep. I sold her because I couldn't really justify a truck and a Jeep to go along with my Miata, but a truck doesn't elicit the same feeling for me. My son is selling his 97 Cherokee and I get the proceeds as compensation for my 08 Grand Cherokee. There will definitely be more room in the driveway, especially when Pearl gets launched.

I'd stay out of the used car business if I were you.

I wonder how many C25 sailors or other sailors own Miatas or other convertibles. I also wonder if I should buy a truck.

An extra long bungee cord may do the trick vs buying a truck.
