Sweet.

Man, I never got into CoD4. It was my circle's LAN party game of choice all last summer, but without cable or DSL, I never played online.

But, I started renting an office in Portland a couple months ago solely to get some 6-meg broadband rocking, and now I play CoD5 "while working" with pings of 10-20, hahahah!

Just made Major today, actually. First time playing in a while... been stuck on "Fallout 3", until the game finished abruptly last night. EXCELLENT game... I recommend it to all. I only wish it hadn't ended so quickly...

PS- It's an unwritten rule that it's OKAY to hijack a thread when people are talking about hiding bodies, lol.

It's pretty sad when the 23 year old libertarian white boy with 5,000 rounds of 7.62mm ammo in his closet is weirded out by the conversation taking place... lol.

I cant remember what thread you said it in Pat, but thats cool that your friend goes to Mars.
I know its a drive for you but if you ever want to go just let me know.
You can also listen on line, this last Sunday was a great one.
Also check out www.flannel.org, look for the NOOMA's.

If I started going there... I'd have to name my Rovers "Spirit" and "Opportunity".

We just might, my friend, we just might. Been in between Churches for a long time. I'm attracted to Catholicism... have been for a while.. we'll see. Thanks Phil, I mean it.

I've had a friends tricked out eclipse up to 150 on a long road in west texas. up until the local cop sitting on a side road saw us. chased us for about 12 miles before i saw the lights in the rearview. he was NOT very happy lol, thankfully my friend worked for the prison system and the officer ended up giving me a ticket for 80 in a 60mph considering it was around 3 am and the road was complety empty. think he was just more impressed that the car would do it or that he was happy he finally had someting to do in a town of about 200 people

Last year I took my dad's 00 Disco II at 121mpg(measure by gps. i think the dash was reading about 124-125). it started vibrating at about 105-110 but the tires were all worn out. I think it could have gone faster but i had to stop cause i spotted a cop. It felt insane though

The short wheel base does not help with stability either.

Be safe.
I was on a road trip with the whole fam damily, doing about 80-85 MPH on the speedometer down the pike. My wife thought I was drifting into another land and let out one of those "OMFG I'M GOING TO DIE" - gasps, which startled me and I quickly pulled to the left...

The next 10 seconds felt like an eternity as the Disco bobbed back and forth on the suspension, until it found a happy equalization point again.

going fast in a Disco is a disaster waiting to happen.
