Default Rubicon = Mall-Crawler?

Before everyone starts a flame war this is not what it seems lol.

My wife's been hinting that she wants a JKU someday. If not this year at very least the next few years. The Commander she has is not sexy enough and she loves driving my JK. Today she dropped the bomb on me: she wants a red Rubicon.

See, my wife's 100% mall-crawler. No trails for this girl. She chickened out going to Bundy Hill with me last weekend in her Commander. Said she is afraid of driving on anything but pavement.

Now she wants a Rubi. Also wants a lift, front aux driving lights and a :gasp: tire cover! Probably a girly one.

As much as I'm thrilled about getting her into the Jeep culture and buying myself some off roading credits, the thought of a mall crawling Rubicon sends shivers down my spine!

Can't say I'm surprised. I got a used Rubi, but drove the "X" models at the dealer and told the guy I may want a Rubi. He commented on how many people buy a Rubi and he knows they will never use it off road or at least not even close to what it was made for.

OK so I see it's not. If happiness matters at all buy what you like, or in this case what she likes, period.
