And "the creeper" sounds like somebody who own a 80's panel van with free candy spray painted on the side

Mine will do 9mpg with high octane ethanol gas. Gotta use high oct. non ethanol to get in the 10mpg range.

For what it's worth, I live out in the Hamptons and was thinking of doing something similar. I used to flip quite a few cars back when I just got out of high school. Seeing what has went from nearly worthless to trendy over the last few years (bmw e30 verts, vw cabriolets, etc) I feel like for the average Joe and Jane schmoe, coming out for the summer and spending 50-100k for a rental (and there are literally thousands of them) a clean ish discovery with some nice tires and small lift, all dolled up will have no problem fetching a premium over what us regular folk will pay. Hell, rust bucket 1990 wranglers with 4 cylinders sell for close to 10 grand here in the summer. I wouldn't even go as hard core as the ones in the original post, find a somewhat clean specimen for a few grand, put a couple more into decent tires, some fog lights, small lift, paint less dent removal, detail and touch up. Sell for 10-15k, repeat. Perfect summer beater for the upper middle class

Not saying it could never happen but You are firmly in Defender territory up there. I imagine the rusted out Jeep is less embarrassing to drive than the Defenders country cousin.
