Driving these Jeeps sounds like fun to me, though Atlanta is not exactly the best place for an off road vehicle (occasional storms aside). Once you start riding though be careful of Atlanta traffic, especially on the freeways. I lived there for 3 years and probably saw more accidents there than anywhere else I’ve lived. Eight lanes of inattentive drivers doing 85mph is quite an experience.
On the plus side you have great riding roads a few hours to the north of you in north GA. Although I never liked the town of Helen that area has some great roads. Sadly I was not riding back then, only driving. If you go even further north to places like the Blue Ridge Parkway you have some of the best roads in the country (outside of the north west )
