Rock the Red Carpet in an '87 Jeep for $24,900!
Rock the Red Carpet in an '87 Jeep for $24,900!-January 2024

Being predominantly utilitarian conveyances, limousines rarely are the cause of ardor, even for those rolling in them. But today, has a 40-foot 4x4 that will get you to the show, and will give you wood.

Yesterday 56% of you befriended the from France in one of the closer NPOCP contests of late. Despite having room for four, that diminutive Citroën represented the nadir end of the car-size spectrum. Fully occupying two seats at the top of that span is today's contender- an .

They say you should keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. Today, Nice Price or Crack…

Now we've seen , as well as , but this jumbo Jeep combines two of our favorite things- wood-paneled Jeep Wagoneers, and. . . more ! You never can get enough of a good thing, and with the CMAs coming up next month - and the hope that a certain restraining order will be lifted - it's important to weigh one's options. Rolling up in this would more than make up for arriving one year in a Hello Kitty Prius with a back-window sticker of Calvin peeing on the confederate flag-draped body of Johnny Cash. Not that that ever happened, we're just saying. And that alone is worth the $24,900 asking price.

Award season is rapidly approaching, and Nice Price or Crack Pipe wants you to arrive at the red…

Like a mullet, this Wagoneer is all business up front, and a party in the back, but it's done tastefully and, judging by the pictures, it looks pretty solid. These bad boys are ladder framed, making the extension pretty easy, and while it may no longer be able to complete the Rubicon, at least there's a bar in the back for when you get stuck.

Despite the added length, and the kind of cheesy aftermarket rims, this Grand Wagoneer remains respectable in its appearance. The blue paint is subdued and they have kept the walnut-grain siding intact. In fact, it looks like an entire forest of polyvinyl trees was felled for the cladding, making it look like the biggest log you've seen since that unfortunate discovery following burrito night at the frat, back in the day.

The 360-cid AMC V8 is bullet-proof and pops out an adequate 160 1987-era horses, plus enough torque to keep its quadra-trac spinning just in case you and your entourage need to take the back-way to the awards show you're crashing. Befitting its position as Jeep's standard barer at the time, the Grand Wagoneer has power-everything and enough bells and whistles to keep your chauffeur busy while you're inside getting Kanye on the event, and giggling about name. The generous door openings will mean no one gets left behind during your hasty escape

So, if you need to make a statement while arriving at the red carpet, or if that red carpet happens to be out in the boonies, this Jeep might be just the ticket. But what about the cost? Does $24,900 make this stretch 4 by 4 an award-winner? Or, does that price knock it out of contention?

You decide!

The 2018 VW T6 California Van Is The Best Car That's Also A House
The 2018 VW T6 California Van Is The Best Car That's Also A House
Forget an R34 Nissan Skyline or a diesel Land Rover Defender. The van is the not-legal-in-America car you should be lusting over. It’s comfortable to live in, easy to drive, has an expanding roof... what more could you possibly want from a big rolling brick? Well, besides the option to...

I Need A Fun Upgrade From My 20-Year-Old Camry! What Car Should I Buy?
Jonathan moved from New York City to Los Angeles a few years ago and bought a 1998 Camry for $1,000. It was a smart and responsible move, but the old Toyota is showing its age it’s time for something new and fun. What car should he buy? (Welcome back to...

Does The Dealer Have To Honor The Price On A Car You Ordered?
Does The Dealer Have To Honor The Price On A Car You Ordered?
If you have the patience to wait for it, it’s great to order a car from the factory exactly the way you want it. Often you can still score just as good of a deal on an ordered car instead of buying off the lot. But if your order gets...

At $16,990, Could This 2006 BMW M3 Coupé Mean That Dinan Is Served?
At $16,990, Could This 2006 BMW M3 Coupé Mean That Dinan Is Served?
For everyone whose mantra is DIY there’s another who’d rather somebody else just do the work. Today’s E46 M3 has already had a lot of work done, but will its price make it DOA? Do you know how old I was before I figured out that the V8 in Campbell’s...

The Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Doesn't Exist, So This Shop Created It
The Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Doesn't Exist, So This Shop Created It
Everybody loves a 911, but—and trust me on this—the is the best road car the company has ever delivered. The mid-engine layout gives it incredible balance, the six-speed manual makes it highly engaging. So when you add $20,000 in upgrades to that brilliant base, you’re pretty much into a superhero...

At $29,995, Might This Rare 2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS Prove A Scoville Scorcher?
At $29,995, Might This Rare 2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS Prove A Scoville Scorcher?
Today’s ‘09 Porsche is one of just 183 manual-equipped GTS models imported to the U.S.. That makes it more of a curiosity than your average SUV, but will its price also prove worth a pique? Saying that you are selling at a loss is a tried and true marketing tactic,...
