Up to now, I haven't particularly enjoyed driving our long-term 2007 Jeep Wrangler. I think the Unlimited body style adds bulk without adding enough utility, and I don't like having an automatic transmission in a Wrangler.
However, I like our Jeep a lot more with the doors off. It makes our nav-equipped Sahara Unlimited feel much less serious -- and more like the adventure vehicle it's supposed to be.
In addition, it encourages resourcefulness on the part of its driver. I carry my lunch to work in a plastic bag. So I simply tie it to the grab handle to keep it from flying away.
My laptop bag? Well, that can ride in the cargo bay, which is now basically an open pickup bed.
As I drive to work, the wind buffeting me from head to toe, and the sun on my face, I feel like I'm on vacation. I can't wait for summer.

just wait, at a red light someone will spot the bag, and boom, gone in a flash

For those who want to quit smoking, this is the perfect car.

Once you guys finish disassembling the Jeep are you going to dump it into a cardboard box and mail it back to Detroit?

At first glance of this pic I thought the passenger airbag had deployed.

"just wait, at a red light someone will spot the bag, and boom, gone in a flash"
Seriously???
Next I clean up after my dog, I would tie the bag there and go trolling for idiots.
I'd chuckle about that one for weeks.

I'm pretty sure they were talking about the LAPTOP bag, not the lunch bag. But try it anyway.

you guys realize how dangerous it is to drive with no doors?
You are the side airbag.

So I guess telling you how much fun motorcycles are would be a waste of time.

At least on a motorcycle or bicycle, you're wearing a helmet.....sometimes.
And leather/spandex shorts.

I'm with firstwagon. However, I would never get on a motorcycle, but I would gladly drive around with no doors and no top on a Jeep. It makes offroading so much easier.
