This is why you should always spray some on the ground, bend over, sniff it, and THEN once you have confirmed that it is the fuel you desire, fill your tank.

The enemy of my enemy and whatnot.

You’ve got some pretty cool stories. 

Hahahaha, yes. Case closed.

I’m a manager at a chemical manufacturer. We are privately owned so not one of the big guys. One thing I always have to fight is letting the perfect get in the way of the good. If we strive for perfection rather than good enough, we can paralyze ourselves. We have been successful getting to a point where we can begin

Well, I’m glad that I’m not the only one whose luggage had issues with Air Canada...

I mean, maybe you could have used your mom’s terminology and made a new friend... Probably best not to though.

I am sure they used the high performance aerospace grade 2x4's.

Fortunately, GM doesn’t make a single vehicle I would ever want to buy. I wish them the best of luck on their moronic adventure.

A fuel injected 4.0 L would work perfectly in this beast. Maybe that’s what they did.

When I got back, they hadn’t driven the car which turned out to be a good thing because the clutch slave cylinder decided that it didn’t

The trick with cults is to ban the stuff nobody likes anyways. Like lima beans.

I live in a rural but very safe area in Southern Ontario and I tend to leave the keys in my MG and CJ5. Both are convertibles with manual transmissions. If somebody really wants to steal them, a key won’t make a difference. Joyriding kids probably won’t know how to drive a manual, or even know how to start carbureted

Maybe one day. 

I know it won’t happen, but I would love a manual 4xe. If Honda can make a manual hybrid, Jeep can too. When the old TJ is completely converted to iron oxide, I will probably look at a 4xe.

I’ve had a lot of Jeeps over the years. Currently, I have a CJ5 and a TJ. I don’t think I will ever be without a Wrangler or other open top Jeep. You’re right that they are not great at a lot of things. They are a hell of a lot of fun with the top down and doors off and when the weather goes to shit, they really

Doing some math here in Metric as I am in Canada.

Fossil fuels give us CO2, Batteries require mining of metals, Hydrogen also causes green house gas issues. Really the only thing to reverse course is to reduce the population by 2/3 and revert to an agrarian society, I guess.
