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!

Re: POLL: Transmissions - Wranglers
In Cleveland it seems like they are every 50 feet.
The northeast Ohio area has the most backward traffic controls of any area
of the country I have ever driven in. Tons of unnecessary traffic lights and
stop signs, and many/most of the lights are still not synchronized or
activated.
On top of that, some cities have ridiculously low speed limits, probably for
generating traffic ticket revenue.

Re: POLL: Transmissions - Wranglers
We only have them at 50 foot intervals on the upslope of hills (which is
79.2% Cincinnati roadways) the downslopes (19.8%) have no stop signs. The
remaining 1% is flat land and is limited by statute not to exceed 27
consecutive feet.
Cincinnati's unique geography is the locale that inspired the parental
admonition " I had to walk 12 miles, up hill, in the snow, each way, with
my brother on my back, to get to a one room school house."
My children accepted this (with some reservations) until one day when my
teen daughter asked...... "Isn't Grandma & Grandpa's house across the street
from the school?"
Caught in an apparent exaggeration of my difficult upbringing I quickly
added...... "Due to desegration they had to bus us into the next county to
begin the 12 mile hike."

Re: Transmissions - Wranglers
Chryslers have been electronically controlled since their KCar,
It's Ford and GM that supplement their control via kickdown lever and
vacuum module, for maximum control. Computer control Cherokees:
