I avoided jail on my 2nd dui. Well, except for the whole getting arrested part. But I never had to go back into jail after my conviction. Probably only because I'm a pretty lady, sorry nabs.

It's the content I came here for.

I swear, it was an acci-dent.

poor nabs. couldn't even post $100 bail. and he was never heard from again.

well now i'ma have to go look.

click on your profile page. my finger slipped/i have fat thumbs/this fucking mouse is possessed/i thought it was someone else//// well, not really. i'm actually just snooping on you in particular. nice activity stream, btw.

i mean, your choice.

if you recall, that dude died at the end of his little tank ride.

the tan one had a small lift and the dealer said the tires were oversized. and the wheels weren't originally black. they were painted or plasti-dipped or something. it was scratching off quite a bit, and i bet it could be removed if a person wanted. i personally liked the look of black wheels, but those looked kinda crappy tbh. i might upgrade the wheels on the one i got to match the paint. i already ordered led headlamps because i don't really like the performance of the stock lights. might add nicer step bars and some other shit too if the feeling hits me. it looks to be pretty much all-stock right now, so there's a lot of room for playing around. i can see how jeep mods could easily become an addiction lol. but she looks pretty good already, so i'm happy.

I almost pulled the trigger on it yesterday. I really got to liking that color. Oh well, next time.

That's the thing, it was only going to be for fun because I have zero need for it. And I don't like the thought of my asshole puckering up every time I have to take off on an incline. There's a lot of stop signs like that around here. Doesn't matter though. They wouldn't budge on price for the stick so I walked out. Bought a black one about an hour ago from another dealer. I'm happy, wife's happy, the boys are happy.

i'm haggling over price and perks on the stick right now. the black one slipped thru our fingers, and they've made it clear they're not ready to move much on price for the white one, which was probably going to be more than i'm willing to spend right now regardless. buying a car right now is weird. they want to do all of this over the phone. i want to sit there and stare at the guy while we haggle. if they won't come down, i have another black soft top on the hook. haven't seen it in person yet but i talked to the salesman and he said it's pretty much in perfect condition. we'll see man, we'll see...

i'll give you two bits if you'll stop being so old on the internet.

speaking of weekend warrior shit...i went and looked at one that ended up being a POS but it had a fuckload of mods for rock climbing. i don't need any of that bullshit, but if someone wants to bolt a handyman jack to the back of my jeep, i'll let 'em.

red is not an option in my house. i'm not sure why. wife made that clear for some reason, years ago. i did see a forest green one. it was a wrap and it had some funky graphics in it also, and the graphics were a little too loud for my taste.

i've only ever owned black or white vehicles. black gets dirty quick, but it looks fuck-ing-sharp when it's clean. white tends to look clean for longer. but desert tan? that shit will hide dirt for days. not interested in a tank though. won't fit in the driveway.

i drove another black one yesterday too. it was a little older, 160k miles and had an oil leak somewhere. it drove ok and was real clean. but that's a lot more miles than i'm comfortable with right now, as i'm looking for something i can easily keep on the road for the next 5-10 years.

i'm also not opposed to black. there's a black one on my short list too. it's a soft top, which has its advantages, but it's not set up how i'd like it. i can always fix those options later, but it's easier to buy it the way you want it. it's getting moved up to the dealership close to me today/tomorrow and i'll probably take it for a spin before making a decision.

the thought is growing on me. it took about five minutes of driving around in the city before i got the hang of it again. ngl, i killed it once at an intersection, and again trying to feel out reverse. but it was FUN. most of the driving i do is small town / country roads. if i lived in a city, i'd probably avoid a stick just because it would be unnecessary.

while very pretty, that is not one of the available choices. please review the post and make a selection from only the available choices.

i was really into the idea of a white jeep when i started looking for a new ride last week. and i found a used one that's set up with just about all the features i'm looking for. but then i took a spin in this desert tan version that kinda makes my pants tight. the tan one is a stick, and i haven't driven a stick in years. but it was like riding a bike, geared pretty low and easy to pick back up. i'm not opposed to going back to a stick after driving that. what to do, what to do...

And no more daft punk. Fucking hell.

So that one jeep that looked good online was fucked. I even called ahead so it could be cleaned up and ready for a test drive. Dead-dead battery, empty gas tank, hadn't been washed or even hosed off, standing water in the passenger running board, not a single intact wiper blade, 2x cracked windshield, all ext LEDs had condensation inside them, busted tail light. WTF mates? I couldn't even drive it off the lot for a test. It could have been in good condition overall, but all these missed details ruined it. And the rest of the options on their lot were just as bad. Ugh, moving on.

my baby, she is dead. tow guys were wrong -- engine isn't frozen up...at least not yet. it'll start, but it has no power and it dies after a few minutes. it's also leaking antifreeze and/or fuel into the oil. without spending a lot of time diagnosing the problem, we've decided it will cost too much to fix it (cracked head, blown head gasket, something else?) and so we're going to junk/sell it off. tow guys want me to give them a $ number to sell it to them for parts. however, someone who owned it a few years before i bought it also wants it. he says he has another engine he can put in there. and he's offering me $1000 for it, which i know i won't get from the junkyard. so at least i won't have any trouble getting rid of it. and i'm supposed to be going into the city tonight to look at a couple jeeps. i wanted another truck so i have something to haul shit, but wife said she wants something more fun. so we compromised. we're looking at jeeps, and i'll just pick up a trailer to haul shit instead.

they're probably getting a cut off the fees from that ATM, so it's actually not a horrible idea on their part. either they get the percentage on the direct payment, or they're getting a flat per-tx fee for people who try to save a couple bucks by using the ATM instead. and since the ATM is right there, people are more likely to use it and pay the $3 fee than leave the courthouse and find their own in-network ATM. the walmart approach is kinda genius in a "fuck everyone else" way.
