errrrrr....

I had to walk to school in the snow, uphill, both ways. And I liked it!!

OK, 94insynk, I'll give you another chance here. What you have stated can actually occur. But are you sharp enough to explain how?

it was a handme down...
it was completey ignored for 3 straight years....
The airfilter had not been changed in 3 years; same with the spark plugs, trannyfluid/t-case fluid, oil was pretty old too, the doors barely closed, the center console was busted out, the sound system didnt work, the coolant leaked, the oil leaked, the dashboard had not been put back on properly so the AC was going half into the Dash rather then out through the vents, the locks on the rear doors were fuked up and the brakes had not been looked at in years; even the freakin recall on the brake rotors back in 1998 had not been taken care of yet!

i took care of everything on that list myself and my parents had not given a shit... they were just wanting a new car for my mom.

They did NOT go out and look for a new car FOR ME! its a 96 XJ with 115k that my dad has not taken care of since my Mom decided she wanted to drive it and not let him drive it to work.

if my parents did buy me the friggin car or something like that and my mom would have told me NO offroading i would have pretended that it WAS not a Jeep and wouldnt give her shit... But that was NOT the case. one of her statements was (and this pisses me off when think about it) "You arent taking your jeep out there with you Bush-loving Redneck friends"

nuff said; my mom just hates me.

For starters, this is not the same user as before. I'm merely a concerned citizen. I read in another entry where you made the comment that no-one knows your mother, and you're right. None of us know YOU either, so what's to say you aren't blowing the whole thing out of proportion and trying to sway everyone in your favor. Of course, something like that would never occur with an emotionally unpredictable, rebellious teen with raging hormones, mood swings, and what appears to be an abnormal and violent attraction to the exciting world of capitolism within a democracy.

Furthermore, I would like to add that I TOTALLY agree with her on the issue of "offroading". Where I'm from, we refer to it as mud-riding. I consider myself to be a seasoned vet in the practices and techniques of mud-riding, but more so in paying the numerous mechanic bills that accompany it during and many years after you stop. Riding in the mud and/or rough terrain brought on more aggravation, wasted time, and empty bank accounts than it ever made up for in adrenaline rush's. BUT, just like my younger brother, you won't listen to me. You'll sneak off and do it anyway, tear up your tranny, rear end, hub, driveshaft, axle, etc., and we'll both be waiting to say "I TOLD YOU SO!!"


P.S.-- Why not just go do it, and WASH YOUR SHIT before you come home? (You'll probably get away with it until it rains and all the cracks and crevices you missed start leaking mudy water. By the way, you'll still tear up something because you don't know what your doing, and mud is the devil!!!)

You come to a place like and start spewing drivel like this...You sure aren't going to make too many friends.

How do you know he was even in interested in mud? I use my jeep exclusivly for "off-roading" but it hardly ever sees a mud puddle.

[CommandoXJ96]

alright 94xj... i know i posted this before... i go with my dad all the time up to Redington (in/near Tucson AZ). Lemme spell that out... ARIZONA... rarely is there Mud; and if it did start raining while I was up there its not like there isnt already mud stuck all up in the cracks and crevices.

and yes I do somewhat know what I'm doing. neither me or my father have ever done anything too stupid in a jeep. my grandfather caught a bunch of dry brush in his Skid Plates near his driveshaft and managed to catch the CJ5 all up in flames on the underside for a few seconds (lukily in PA where he lives there was mud on the trail ahead of him to kill the fire.)

and like you said... you dont me... I dont know you; im not sure quite yet, but maybe if I knew you I'd be able to tell if you were an asshole or not or if you knew how to handle your own jeep well enough not to fuk up your own tranny/t-case.

and one more thing... and i Know ive posted this multiple times mr-knowitall-94XJ...

my mom doesnt care if that Jeep goes offroading. she doesnt care if my dad takes it offroad. she doesnt even care if i take it offroad.
what she does care about is if my Daddy isnt there to protect me from "Those Hicks" who use guns off the side of the Trailhead.

Now that you have posted roughly a page of info that shows you havent read this whole thread through... press the Page 1 link and read through...when you're done hit next,and repeat.

Also; if you didnt notice... this is ... you are bitching about Muddin killing Jeeps and stuff... NAXJa is about XJs and Offroading for the most part - it is afterall a Jeep - not a Lexus SUV.

If you are on how come you are saying shit like " Riding in the mud and/or rough terrain brought on more aggravation, wasted time, and empty bank accounts than it ever made up for in adrenaline rush's. BUT, just like my younger brother, you won't listen to me."

that statement applies to practically everyone on this forum. please; continue to belittle everyone on this forum. Better yet head over to some Green-Peace shithole of a forum please.

I said I had to walk TO school, uphill both ways. I didn't say anything about walking from school. Hence, if my school sits on a hill, and if there two ways to get there, it would be uphill both ways. Is that the answer you wanted to hear.

PS: Commando, just been f'in with ya, came home sauced last night, thought I was Dr. Phil or somethin'. As for today, that was my stupid ass bro.

 

[CommandoXJ96]

i guess i can live with that.

but one question... if your school lies higher in elevation then your home... i understand how both ways are uphill, but are you implying that in some cases not both ways are uphill? lol.

 

[CommandoXJ96]

about that whole turning 18 deal....
i just found out that i cant become a member of untill then too dangit... I really wanted that membership and the sticker for my xj....

uhh... Not necesarily, let's see if I can explain this correctly. Route A to school from my house is as the crow flies. Straight line, uphill. Route B, however, is still uphill from my house, but to quote a great navigator, I think it was Christopher Columbus who said "Sometimes ya gotta go around your elbow to get to your asshole". It's a long, winding road that goes slightly past the school.... OH F*** IT, YOU GOT ME

Not the first time I heard that, but I can't take credit for that thread, that was my stupid ass bro. I've already aknowledged my drunken retardedness.

 

[red91]

Goodness me, this thread went to hell in a handbasket in a hurry...

Gotta love inflammatory rhetoric. Too bad more folks don't practice what they preach.

What the HELL does this mean ??? You want some ?

Who would the PROXY Jewish guy be ???? You ?!? MAZALTOV!!

 

[Lupine]

I'm guided by the almighty dollar - the almighty dollar's gonna get me a set of 31"s. YAY money!

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Altruism is not natural. When people who are Al Gore's definition of poor decide that no, they don't want that dollar you're giving them, I might change my mind (depending on the circumstances, of course.) Until then, I'd rather vote for the guy who isn't saying that the government needs to "invest" in the people, the schools, the infrastructure, et cetera.

 

[Beej]

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Altruism is not natural.

All I have to do is perform a single altruistic act in order to prove that assertion dead wrong. Nature is eveything, and everything is nature. If it exists in theory or in practice, its natural. Nothing exists that is not natural...

Until then, I'd rather vote for the guy who isn't saying that the government needs to "invest" in the people, the schools, the infrastructure, et cetera.

Unless of course you'd like to see advancement...

YOUR not natural....your point is now moot.

Nope. Because why would you being doing the altruistic act? To prove me wrong? Not altruistic. Recall, you could not benefit in ANY way. Including feeling better about yourself.

With respect to advancement, sir, I used to work for the government. Trust me, government is not responsible for advancement. And road improvement programs? For the most part, funded by developers. I'm working on permitting three of those such projects right now.

 

[Lupine]

Oooo - and one more thing -

Nature is eveything, and everything is nature. If it exists in theory or in practice, its natural. Nothing exists that is not natural...

I agree wholeheartedly. Ask me why-

Here's some food for thought - ultimately, isn't intelligence an adaptation? If that's the case, then why do people believe that hunters have an unfair advantage?

 

[theschwarz1]

Dude! You had me laughing so hard at that that I qwas actually crying from laughter. Everyone in my office was looking at me like I lost it.
That was awesome! Great timing!

 

[Beej]

I have similar arguments with seniors...
I think you are applying too narrow a definition of altruism. I can benefit from my altruism without negating it.

I took this to mean financial investment:

Until then, I'd rather vote for the guy who isn't saying that the government needs to "invest" in the people, the schools, the infrastructure, et cetera.

This does not correspond to the above statement, or to my half-witty rejoinder:

With respect to advancement, sir, I used to work for the government. Trust me, government is not responsible for advancement. And road improvement programs? For the most part, funded by developers. I'm working on permitting three of those such projects right now.

Why? :laugh3:

Here's some food for thought - ultimately, isn't intelligence an adaptation? If that's the case, then why do people believe that hunters have an unfair advantage?

As a neopostmodern microconstructionist, I don't believe that anything can be 'ultimately' determined. We don't know for certain what 'intelligence' means let alone know how it came about. (From a psych perspective the term 'intelligence' is all but meaningless). The 'adaptation' of which you speak, rings of evolutionary theory, an unproven theory at its best. At any rate, calling 'intelligence' an 'adaptation' doesn't necessarily make a logical argument for hunting something that you can easily defeat.

I'm just going to become more annoying as this goes on! ig:
