Make sure you look up the positive traction law before they politely impound that RWD car of yours (or carry chains). And yes, while snow tires are supposed to exempt you, we all know how arguing with the nice officer standing out in the blizzard is going to go.

I’m thinking 5th Gen, which was (at least to my eyeballs) pretty darn big - if you can figure out how to get something in there.  At least, depth wise - it’s a bit short too. 

I had to turn mine in at end of lease (16 JK) - the JL would have been 4k more.  Just priced them out recently - I got mine for 33 originally (fully optioned Sport S), and now that would cost me easily 37+ out the door, without adding the hardtop.  They’re getting a bit silly. 

Vertical space does matter sometimes.  As does entry angle.  The Camaro, for instance, has a huge trunk - and a tiny opening to get in there.  Can’t fit long things, won’t make the turn.  

Or maybe, just maybe, it’s the fact that I’m 6'2" tall, with very long legs that have been crammed into the back of the seat in front of me the entire flight, and the sooner I stand up, the sooner the excruciating pain that will result from said standing will pass, and thus the sooner I’ll be able to start walking,

Ground Fault isolator.  :) 

Doors have nothing to do with it. It’s all the drivetrain, thus sayeth the LAW.

We’re really already there. This isn’t highway entrance ramp fun anymore; this is “do you want warp 9, or warp 9.5, when you slam on the brakes to not meet the corolla already on the highway”.

Shit.  I’m surrounded.  I’m just south of Castle Rock.  

GAAH! More [H] people stalking me. Been in Colorado from the beginning; what part are you near? How you liking the RX? Thought about getting one of those a few times, but I worry about the short trips I sometimes have to take and the thing flooding :p

It makes up 90% of Luxury car sales in Colorado, which is the only place I particularly care about, since I both have to buy AND sell here. RWD BMWs or Cadillacs are toys; they’re not usable for a significant part of the year, and both resale and value fall drastically as a result. The only ones that do sell are

... I think I had the ZL1 and the G37 back then.  Still have the ZL, now have an M550 and an NB Miata.  All is quite good, hope the same on your end.  Miss the old crew, those were fun days.  What you working on these days? 

International flight - recline all you want.

Wranglers break all the rules.

Oh absolutely, even definitely, but we have orders of magnitude for battery density before that works for large airliners.  Doable, I’m sure, with a lot of work - but we ain’t there yet.  

Yep, same dude ;)  

Never mind that almost ALL cars lose all their value over 5 years and 100+k.  That’s how cars work.  If you don’t want that, buy used. 

Single engine plane != 737.  

Not really, no.  Stuff that CAN happen by videocon does.  That which can’t, doesn’t.  So we fly.  

I’m younger.  I live on touchscreens.  I also fly and drive all the time and recognize when stateful vs stateless controls are important.
