I turned the emails off, holy shit.

What ridicule? We were shooting the shit over the state of the roads. You may need this: Find A.A. Near You | Alcoholics Anonymous

I feel like some states are just better about staying on top of their roads, and budgeting for road repair

My state actually ran out of salt for the roads this winter. Who does this?!

(Well, I know who does this, but this forum is apolitical.)

I mean that legit seems like some shit we'd do down south. It being Vermont is a little more surprising lol

Why do we, as a community, keep responding to these threads? This one is literally the single most discussed topic on here. In today’s world, it takes less than 30 seconds of AI use to get a condensed answer to this question from the wealth of forum history, personalized to the specifics of the one asking.

I think there are always younger people or newbie Jeepers, or new forum members etc coming in to Jeep world that are exited and they ask questions. It's probably more fun/interestjng to engage with people real time than read old posts from 2, 3 to 4 years ago. They come here because they trust this community over just googling or AI. Honestly you can Google just about any question you'd ever have on Jeeps so why even have a JL forum? People come here innocently, ask questions and catch a little flak for asking something that's been discussed at nauseum already but they come here because they trust this community more to get the Latest/up to date info. Maybe 3 years ago the 2.0 was the way to go but now after some reflexion time the 3.6 looks like a better bet or vice versa.To them it's all new and they are just exited to learn. Plus some topics were discussed a long time ago maybe there's some new info? No disrespect just think we should be a little more patient.

Answer #1: I've had 3 3.6's (all with a stick) and they were all great. Wanted to try something new this time around so went with the 2L turbo, so far it's been great.

Answer #2: They both suck, I can't afford a 392, don't want to deal with a diesel, so I'm gonna rip out the motor and put in the good ol' push-rod throwback 3.8...

How far south you talkin? In NC they let god and the sun handle the snow fall lmao.

NCDOT looks at us like deebo and says “what brine, what plows?” Then the school districts close for 2 weeks lmao

Can one state charge another for their citizens causing excessive wear and tear on it’s border crossing roads ? Az. has a case. ie Gas ~$7.49 In Needles Ca. , 1 1/2 miles away in Mojave Valley Az. ~$4.19. Those Californian’s living close to the border are understandably crossing for the ~$3.00 a gallon less…. Wouldn’t you ?

Still under $7.00 In the Central Valley, but premium is getting close.

Where in NC are you? I'm on the Alamance/Orange Co border and they plowed pretty decent in the snow "storms" we got this winter. Better in the one that was actual snow than the one where it was all sleet (though that one melted quicker). And they brined the absolute fuck out of the roads out our way every time a snowflake appeared in the forecast.

But on the school districts, the one that got me was when they closed the fuckin schools (and the daycares that followed the school districts) for the "potentially severe weather" like 2 or so months back. And then the peak wind was like 25-35 MPH. And the kids were at home for not even that much rain.

Given the states involved, fuck it, it'd be entertainment so I say go ahead and try, AZ.

I saw more plows in the 5 days we first visited Denver in Nov 24 than I did in 20 years of living in NC lol
