My sidekick...

is a Jeep Wrangler. I love this vehicle for many reasons. In the winter it gets me up and down the mountain and my louge of a driveway and come summer with the top down, I can throw my kayak in the back. I've put 2 people and 4 snowboards in it. People don't frown on you when it is muddy, it's a Jeep, it's supposed to be muddy! It took a front end, broadside hit of a 4 point buck at 55 mph and I survived it, so did the frame, sadly the buck did not and that was horrific. You can dress it up with blingy bits and change its top to suit the weather. I only use soft tops because the heater is amazing. Did I mention how much I love my Jeep??
