Fail!

Dude... we are onto your tactics. Any mention of booze and you equates to you trying to get sex at some point.

Auto - Nothing better on the trail

Maybe if you live in the Dale... that shit don't fly in LA. The first time I drove a stick through LA rush hour when I was a teenager, was the last time I ever considered a stick to be superior. Sticks are fun.... but even an occasional commute of stop and go and you'll question if it's worth it. Or at least I did.

And yeah.... you're right. It's funny to watch a stick in the rocks.

I'd rather put more concentration into the rocks than into the operation of the heep.... if it is an aid, sure.... but, I feel, a stick shift is way more often a hindrance than an aid.

I have a stick and I feel the same way an auto with a reverse valve body and an art carr shifter is the way to go same controlled as a stick but all the convince of an auto. I miss my k5 :cry:

wow you guys are really serious, i guess im just a champ lol. the cj5 and willys are both stick and i have never killed it offroading. not to long ago the weld on the gas pedal broke on the dune buggy and i got back on the trail, get on the road and drove all the way home accelerating with my finger from the engine throttle and still drove stick without missing one shift.

:lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

cute little autos hopefully they will make a jeep that will rock crawl for you guys too :) then you wont have to do anything.

Josh.... be careful for what you wish for.










DD.... I hear a new Hummer Punk calling you out.

Let's do another bet like you had [i]attempted[/i] last time. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:






*** Josh: I say "attempted" since the Hummer Punk backed out. Don't be [b][u]that[/u][/b] guy! You are 'Hummer Punk Part Duex... the newer, better, more respectful Hummer Punk.' :lol3:

Josh... if you haven't found JKO... take a look. JK specific board. Jkowners.com

Don't do jk-forums or often called project gay-k. Owner is worse than than John guy you couldn't get a gummy from.

This guy seems to understand what I am talking about.
