Ed if I want to move it along quicker than 20 I've got to put my foot in that skinny pedal and keep it there. It's not like a SD where you can just kinda idle along at 40. You've got to keep it HAMMERED.
I could get up to 50 from a dead stop quicker in the old GMC 1ton mason dump stick shift with a plow hanging off the front we had quicker than this little Jeep can.
Plus this thing is LOUD. But it's not a good loud like the rumble of a 7.3
It's whiny loud like a gasser wound right out.
Oh and I was at soccer not-practice this afternoon and went straight from there to DMV so I'll be dealing with a bright red face on my license til I'm 22.
Fortunately the lady I was dealing with was really nice. Once she took my picture she had me come around the counter to check it out to make sure it was ok.
The guy on the next counter over didn't seem to be very nice at all.

Yes Lisa. Congrats on the new tire/rim purchase.
Not necessary! Just needed to know what was what!
Holy chit! We have 6 years here in VA I think. Weve got all new licenses starting here this week actually. Weird lookin ones compared to what we have now. Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles

And I believe it was Mark that suggested tire black for shining up the fender flares. THANK YOU. They look soooo much better now.

I should scan my license and show you guys my photo its hilarious. I just got off of a dirty dusty 13 hour service call changing some rock truck tires (least I think it was rock trucks) and had to sit and wait around for the issuer to call the head offic and blah blah blah to figure out something on my license, and I wasnt a happy camper! (and it shows!)
I do.

very interesting situation going on rite now.
and i really don't know how to deal with it.
i used to drink at least a case of beer a night. sometimes a case and 1/2
i have not drank any alcohol in a few years, with the exception of a beer or a mixed drink once every 5-6 months.
i just opened up a beer, took 2 sips, poured the rest down the drain, and opened a bottle of water
i am starting to feel real old.
