Re: POLL: Transmissions - Wranglers
>5 wheel rotation JD!
I ended up doing just that, Kate. Can't see spending $100 bucks for a
tire that just *sits there* looking pretty. Also found out that OEM
spare tire covers can successfully be thrown into the washer without
killing them! They get pretty funky after a while if you don't.

Re: POLL: Transmissions - Wranglers
Cincinnati can be a big pain in the knee if you have a manual transmission
between all the hills and having a stop sign every 127 feet.

Re: Let me add this
40 ain't sh**. I can't even REMEMBER when I was 40. I still run 4
miles every day, pound the ground in a Semi 6-days a week, and when
playtime comes, gulp down several frosty pints of Amber Ale while
grinding on my old Gibson SG and GA-5 tube amp for the neighbor's
enjoyment. Weekends are even more out of hand.
Life is good! Hell, getting laid isn't even a problem these days. I
don't want much: I just want more. 40-something is a great place to
be!
The tough part is trying to figure out where I want to be in 25 years.
Old rockers look looney, and I want to still be able to chase (and
catch) women. I can run fast, so the odds are good...but the goods are
odd. But old dudes always look cool in Jeeps!
