I'd be happy with just a WWII era jeep.

I first drove an old jeep when I was 12 years old. One of my dad's uncles had one on our deer lease and taught me to drive it. The following year we switched to another deer lease apart from that Uncle. I was so disturbed that I started saving my money to buy and old army jeep. I was very vocal I guess about my not having a jeep to drive around the deer lease because before season started my dad's dad called during dinner one night and asked to speak to me. As far as I can remember that was the only time in my life when that grandfather called for me. He just wanted to let me know that he'd found and bought a 1938 army jeep for the deer lease for $200. My brothers and I loved that thing. The motor mounts were broken, it didn't have a starter so we had to park on hills and push start it, but it went all over our part of the Texas Hill Country deer lease.

Yep, I need another one of those too. :-)
