Thanks! There's one low spot that if I could just get a good pull on it, I'll be satisfied.
I've often thought that myself... As you all know by now, I pretty much live in that low spot, aka the gutter. :giggle::giggle::giggle:

Parking curbside in my neighborhood is tough because of alternate side rules - basically, you have to move your car to allow the sanitation department to sweep the streets. It's total baloney, the sweeper blasts through there, and a traffic cop follows writing tickets for parking violations ($150 a pop). Anyway, my neighborhood has alternate side rules 4 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday) which means that on those four days, it is only "safe" to park on one side of the street.

Right now, I drive to my field office every day - I'm gone before the sweeping rules start, and I get back early enough to find a space with relative ease. My field assignment is ending next month - which means I will be commuting to Manhattan by subway. Thus, I need a long term parking solution for Gabrielle. Perks are that the spot is off the street behind a house (out of sight), behind a locked gate, and watched by cameras. Very safe place for my Jeep. Cons are that things are tight back there - I had to make a 10-point turn just to back out of the alley; there's no room to turn around. A 4 door Jeep wouldn't be able to make it. The tighter radius of the 2 door barely makes it possible.
Fanfreakingtastic!

Don't forget the aftermarket tuning...

Like I said, it's basically a supercharged Hemi with four wheels attached to it.
Well, that's what a Hellcat is, a supercharged Hemi, in 3 different tunes, 707, 800 and 840 Hp depending on what model you get.

The Prius had the 707 with some tinkering, and the Challenger was the 800 Hp tune Demon. So they had a very similar power output but with a dramatic difference in weight. Honestly made the Demon look like it was just driving around town.. lol

yes, those of us with houses are hopelessly introverted...
Really? I have a house. What say you now about the introverted? :cwl::cwl::cwl:

BTW, @Sean L - my old boss told me they did a mass pour at that tunnel project upstate yesterday...242 CY of concrete placed. 23 hours straight.

They're cooling it with cast-in tubing connected to a chiller plant.
lol! man I remember the first time I heard about needing to cool massive amounts of concrete like that. It was at the hoover dam, and if they didn't use the cooling plant method, it would take over 100 years for it cool off...

Actually, glad you responded, Crazy. How much lift would I get with all those Rubi parts you keep teasing me with? I know the tires are 33s - there's one inch.

Anyone know if the stock Rubi suspension rides higher than a Sport?
About 1" so I'm told.
