Today is Matthew McConaughey's birthday. He's 40. He's also the male version of a bimbo: the mimbo. In honor of men who have it going on everywhere but upstairs we have to ask: what's the ultimate mimbo car?

There are a lot of good answers given the number of cars made to appeal both to the masculine and the vain. We think the one vehicle truly capturing both of these sides of the mimbo/himbo persona is the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. In basic form, a Jeep has always been an appealing vehicle for -imbos of all varieties since at least the 1970s. In four-door form you reduce the likelihood of someone driving it off road and increase the possibility of a dude putting big shiny rims on it. The ability to go hard-top or convertible (i.e. accessorize) truly pushes it into the mimbo extreme.

Because they have to get to the tanning salon somehow, what's the ultimate mimbo car?
