Getting off Jeeps: eyelash extensions/fill-ins?  Worth it?  
Guys Perspective: As long as you don't over do it. If its the semi permanent ones then don't go so full that it looks off when you don't wear makeup. If you're talking about the temporary ones then don't do them all the time. It's nice from time to time but I don't think its warranted every day.

 
Nope, not worth it.

Back to jeeps:

I would definitely own a Willys.
I wan't an LJ but that's next to impossible since the money you'd have to spend to get a nice one is close enough to a JKU that'd I'd spend the extra to get 2 more doors. 

 
I might be weird, but: I think most women are more beautiful the less makeup they wear.

Back to Jeeps.

Let me tell the story of the '98 I bought.

In Dec 2017 I found a really nice 1998 TJ 2.5L. It was in great condition, no frame or body rust, brand new 31" BFGs, 2" lift, bed-lined tub on the inside, etc. Paid $6,500, which is great considering Jeeps in that area normally sell $10k-$15k (even after being heavily off-roaded, because was near the beach and everyone wants a Jeep).

So after driving it around for 2 weeks, one cold morning I cranked her up and a loud knocking started. I spent a week trying to figure out where the knocking was coming from, and I concluded it had to be a piston.

So next Saturday I pulled the engine and started breaking it down. At the end of day, after everything was taken apart and I was left with just the engine block with pistons in it, I removed them one by one. The last one I pulled out is when I noticed a broken piston skirt.

Over the next few weeks I ordered new parts for everything and reassembled the engine. After about 3 weeks I cranked her back up, and she ran beautifully.

Then I sold her this past April, because the plan was to move to TN and I didn't want to have to haul her up here.

The 2006 I had was an LJ. It was my wife's first car. Only had 90k miles on it when we sold it in 2016. It was immaculate. Never been off-road, never abused, only babied.

We sold it because we needed a 4dr vehicle because we were making babies.

My kiddo loves climbing from the tire through the side window during the summer. Now that it's winter I hate having to buckle him in from the front. While it's possible it's not practical.

Correction: you don't know how much makeup we're wearing, so 'natural' makeup looks like we're wearing nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all...
