I am now the owner of a shale green (with black soft top) Jeep Wrangler X. Automatic transmission. 4 wheel drive. A/C. Convenience group. Full metal doors will roll up windows. Well, that's about all the options available on a Jeep. So. Now, I can really walk that fine line between prosperity and bankrupcy. I'll try to post a picture later.

In case I haven't told you, a Jeep is basically a lego-car. The doors come off. The front windshield can come down. The entire top can come off. Or you can just take the back side windows off. Or just the rear window off. The carpets come out (and can be washed in the washer). There's a drain hole so you can hose down the inside. The seats are water resistant (in case you get rained on) - but I'm going to buy neoprene seat covers, just to be sure. The air intake is at the top of the engine so you can drive through high water -- a real issue in often flooding Houston. Its awesome!
