2005 TJ - "Hobbes". Bought it new, so it wasn't a beater. Had it 3 years, then gas got stupid. Was commuting a ways at the time, so we traded for a commuter car with better mpg. Swear I'll walk before doing that ever again! I immediately hated myself for trading it - even if it was the "best" thing to do at the time.
Picked up a beater 99 TJ later, and while it was ok, it just wasn't the same. It was a money pit, nowhere near as nice, it was abused, and well, it wasn't mine - if that makes sense. Didn't bother me at all to let that one go when the wifey got the G37 vert.
I guess it worked out though... since I gave up the 99 TJ for her car, she gave me free reign on the Grand Cherokee replacement, which brought me here!
In case you're wondering, the economy car was dumped for a RCSB hemi Ram 4x4. I could've gone Yota then, but couldn't find a RCSB 5.7 Tundra where I was at the time.
