Ok, related random Jeep question.
So my dad wants to buy a fancy Jeep to do offroading & such. Assume this is sort of a luxury limited edition type thing. He is is 65 recently retired and can comfortably afford it.
His stated purpose is to drive it along the beach (there's a legal area in the regional beach location near us) and also out on road trips like to Utah and then in the desert. I know zero about cars but assume he has researched this.
I'm inclined to say "cool, dad, hope you have an awesome time with the Jeep, YOLO," which since he's 65, it's sort of now or never. I would not do it myself for many reasons, but am not really comfortable getting into that with him. His job involved doing things that in fact easily saved tens of thousands of lives (very accomplished medical researcher who developed new tests, medical devices, etc.) so I didn't feel it was appropriate to guilt trip him about climate change -- he's done enough to benefit humanity to justify his carbon emissions. Also don't want to make it seem like I'm angling after any inheritance -- I'm happy for him to spend what he likes, though I'd prefer it was like new solar panels or something.
Anyways in this instance should I just go with the flow or should I be trying to steer him to some sort of different vehicle? Something less terrible that still would do what he's looking for?
Edit: I think it might be the Rubicon?
