I don't want to say it's completely sub-par. Compared to writing php code in notepad, it's obviously amazing.

I break a snow shovel every season or two. I guess because people want something lightweight, they're generally plastic and flimsy, so they break pretty easily. I would much rather have some heavier that I can abuse, but I guess there isn't a market for that?

I've been a web and (windows) application developer for 15 years, and I find Objective C an absolutely terrible language that feels left behind in the 90's (most because it is - the roots are in the NeXT OS from when Steve Jobs wasn't with Apple). I was very disappointed when I first started experimenting with…

40% Dell XPS 27 @ work (I'm a web developer)

I drove an open reared 88 camaro for my first 5 winters, and it was passably capable in winter, especially with decent tires on it and some weight in the trunk.

I replied to another commenter, but I wasn't looking to flip it. I bought it and lived in it for 10 years, slowly doing improvements as I went - one or two major projects every summer. This was always the plan. And the end game was to sell with enough equity toward buying a much nicer house.

The housing market has traditionally been a very stable market with slow growth, it at least generally keeps pace with inflation and for the last 30 years, home values have(had?) outpaced inflation - looking at long term trends at least. There have always been peaks and valleys. But as for the market of the last…

So the key to paying off a huge debt load from college is having an $80,000 a year plus job and a huge medical settlement. But you'll still have a shitload of student loans at 40. Sure, no problem ;)

Good information and that does make a lot of sense. That seems like something Jeep could address in time, but it would definitely require some real engineering adjustments to do.

Getting a transmission and t-case should be no problem, since the hemi is used in 4wd rams, grand cherokees, durangos and AWD chargers and 3oo's.

my short wheelbase chevrolet trailblazer had a 6500 lb towing capacity with a wheelbase 3 inches shorter(113") than the 4 door wrangler (116"). I towed plenty of things with it and never had a problem. It towed as well or better than my current crew cab silverado (143"). That being said, I did tow a few times…

they have a billion different wrangler models, but I don't understand why they don't make a Hemi wrangler, with better towing capacity.

Welcome to the new America. They put DRM and endless warnings on all media you purchase because a fraction of people steal them. They check receipts when you leave Walmart and a number of big box type stores because a fraction of a percent of people shoplift. They crack down on guns ludicrously because 1 in a…

It's actually designed to be a place to rest ladders or 2x4's, etc, with tie downs. A t-shaped post comes up out of the tailgate to the same height, pretty much eliminating the need for a ladder rack. I thought this was one of the coolest things in the ford concept.

Both the Z/28 and ZL1 are described as having a TR6060 close ratio transmission. Is it documented that there are different gear ratios on the Z/28?

I've read it's as much as 300 lbs lighter and as little as 60 lbs lighter. I don't know if that's been truly established. Even so, the rule of thumb I knew drag racing was that 100 lbs was good for another tenth of a mile in the quarter. 100 horsepower added to a car can take off upwards of a second in the quarter…

I'm a bit baffled by the Z/28 with 500 horsepower has 3 seconds on the ZL1 with 580 horsepower? I read that they're only 60 lbs difference in weight, even assuming the Z/28 is carrying a bit more speed in the corners, that's a pretty serious horsepower disparity.

So they renamed the first Z/28 to ZL1 because "it didn't have enough power," only to turn around and release it with a less potent engine?

I did online dating from 27-29 years old which led to a 4 year relationship. Then again later from 33-34.

Agree 100%. Just the "I tended to get a lot of messages" is completely uncommon for men. Men are expected to make the first contact and it's completely expected by most women that they have no expectation of responding - or moreso responding quickly. The whole "Later" folder discussion in the article completely…
