Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

[HDinkH]

I know it seems like my answer is always "Come down here to Winston," but I guess thats the benefit of where you are. Small town feel, but close enough to bigger cities you don't have to deal with the drawbacks.

Yup, thinkin' that's what I need to do.

I remember doing this in several cars in my teenage years, the most fun was coming into an icy parking lot hot and spinning the entire length. This was in my grandfather's 1973 Cadillac Calais 2dr I was given when he passed, don't remember if it had the 472 or the 500 engine but it was fun. You could watch the gas gauge drop on the highway. Had over 200,000 miles on it and would still smoke a tire.

Ah the island life...

I wouldn't know but I do know that I could maybe live there like a year.

How much perfect can you really take?

Infinity perfect! No snow! No ice! No sub zero air conditions!!!!

I learned to drive on snow with 70's and 80's era full size rear wheel drive cars. Parking lots in the winter were a lot of fun.

Me too buddy. Empty mall parking lots were great!

Morning/afternoon y'all.

Now that’s funny, I don’t care who you are.

Power is out.

Driveway has been shoveled.

Time to drive into the hills and walk the pup.

Power is on. Had to go back to the house to make sure everything was good to go.

I like where this is headed.

 

[Krondor]

Is that as in "no electricity"? Does that happen often?

Yes, it was the electricity that went out. Still had water and gas, but no back up juice to turn the furnace on. I'll be looking into that now.

AND my UPS battery has long since needed to be replaced. Guess it's time for that too.

Oh and the network gear will need battery backup... Hmm...

Yep, it's going to be spendy round here.

We could just open the day with this....

I don't think @Billy would approve of "boneless" Thursdays, or any other day of the week for that matter. Lol

 

[Pinion]

They don't let you turn all that off?

Not all of it.
I went into manual mode and turned of traction control. Still couldn't throw it into a slide/skid and the f'ing ABS kicks on all the time. Soccer moms, idiots, and lawsuits ruined what could have been a fun vehicle.

 

[Krondor]

I'm glad to see we all learned to drive in icy conditions in a parking lot, and not out on highways...

Also hating the nanny crap in newer cars, but happy that the Jeep seems to let you shut them off. At least I can still learn to drive in it.

Once upon a winter, when I first got my 97 zj. The front driveshaft was out of it, and it was the first snow since I had gotten that jeep.
I was cutting donuts in the parking lot of Meijer after work, look up when done, and realize there's a news van in the parking lot.
They were out reporting on road conditions, and all my family and coworkers saw my jeep in the background of the morning news.

 

[SPRINKLES]

I may or may not have done this with every vehicle I've owned, possibly for all the reasons listed above.

The most fun was my 87 Accord hatchback 5 speed, the least fun has been my current bitch-ass X5d with all of its nannyware.

Ha. I thought I was going to get fussed at by the neighbors for doing donuts on our land, thanks to a nice dew morning.

When our power goes out we're left with gas only. Thank goodness it has only been out for an extended period of time once in the 17 years that we've lived here. We do have a generator but it hasn't cranked in a couple of years. I need to find someone that will come out and look at it. Thanks for the nudge.

Love the Trans Am! If I had not been deployed I would have bought one from one of the NCOs that was getting out. It was white, just like that. 350 V8 and a Six Speed!

The guy that did buy it beat it... and then he blew the engine on top of all of that.
