[jedi]

So you went?

Yes took Ds and dd.
We first stopped at McDs cause they have The LEGO Movie happy meal.
Then we went to see the movie behind the new Menards on US-41

Sometimes the winch is for you!

Here's probably what you really need for your neck of the woods:

I can see gunbunnies and gg riding in this one going downtown.

Just gonna drop this and let you all review . . .

I would like to see a more controlled (scientific) faceoff. That looked like it was set up (intentional or unintentional ... doesn't matter) for the VW to win (the truck appears to be in 2wd and no weight in the bed).

That second video ...

I'm actually more impressed by this video ... Touareg in offroad action - YouTube

or this one ... VW Touareg Rock Climbing in Moab! - YouTube

I've said before that the Touareg is one hell of an offroad vehicle. People who don't know, don't believe me. But people who know, know. But it is one amazing vehicle.

 

[gunbunnies]

Danmdeveries, nice 686.... They are a nice revolver...

you guys that truck looks cool but I like to stroll around in the M113 APC when I need to have something more than my suburban to roll around in....

 

[actaeon277]

Those stupid ass preemployment tests where they ask you dumbass questions like "I work well with others" with answers ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree"

You'd think the "Correct" answers would be obvious, but they're not.

I think they kind of know if you're punching all the "right" answers. That probably works against you.


Jedi. A small car to get to the station, and a truck for moving stuff is great. But, then you have to pay more insurance and plates.

Had the Chicago Fire Calzone. It was good and super spicy....

Edit: oh and a Greenbush Black IPA

Insurance perhaps but my car plates is ~ $33 a year for the intrepid. It's a 1997 car.
Even if I get a new vehicle I'm not certain I want a 2014 or anything 2010+.
Jedi is paranoid of all that 'electrical tracking' crap in the vehicles now-a-days.
I would prefer an older car is possible.

[black label]

Now see this is an answer Jedi can understand.
I started to read bob's post but it got to be something about torque, friction, etc...
Based on Black Label's reply it's almost as if I need 2 vehicles. Some beater up small gas saver to go to/from the train station each day just big enough for me and my BOB. And another one for
- meet & shoots
- moving my snowblower to clean parents and sister's house
- maybe taking riding mover from parents to sister's

Does this reflect poorly on me that Jedi understood what I was saying? But in my defense I did JEDI it down a lot!

 

[melensdad]

I tried but I can't resist. With apologies to Melensdad ...

VW Touareg W12 fails at hill climb. - YouTube

http://www.vxv.com/video/5mriGSLkO0wb/new-2011-vw-touareg-fail.html - Bing Videos

VW Touareg VS Hummer H2 - YouTube

The W12 was a joke when it was introduced, it was not an offroad version of the Touareg. BTW, those were street tires on that vehicle, so the driver was an idiot. That W12 engine is the same engine they were putting in a Bentley sedan it threw off the weight ratios too much, the interior was just as silly. And would you really expect a Chevy Suburban sized Hummer H2 to lose to a pint sized Touareg?

 

[aclark]

Taxes almost done. Just have to figure out what my wife god damn IL pin number is. I was sweatin it this year, almost ended up owing because we jumped a tax bracket. In the end I'm getting a bit back though.

 

[Snapdragon]

I need to do our taxes. Maybe next weekend.
