  1. I don’t think “imo” is necessary for this take. Imo, the new merc interiors look like an incredible place to spend time.
  2. It seems to me that the purpose of a low-range gearset in an traditional IC off-roader is to get max torque from the IC engine at lower axle speeds. The electric motors have a flat powerband, which I’m sure at least partially obviates the need for a low-range gearset. Also, locking diffs serve to apply power to the wheel that has the best traction, albeit in a very simplified way. The independently powered corners of electric cars can torque vector far more intelligently, and I suspect will be far more capable in this regard. Disclaimer: This opinion is uneducated and unsubstantiated by research or facts, as any good online post should be. Same.
  3. How devastated was he when you explained genetics?
  4. I assumed Chitown was was referencing AMG, not Nissan given the S63 discussion. I suspect AMG GT-R would hold its own in your track day lineup.
  5. I can’t remember if it’s taboo in CYHMWT to say that your mother did not cringe when she showed up to service my platform last night.
  6. Damn. Hang in there. The heavy stuff is starting to fall here in 2nd Ward, but nothing like what’s been going on up there.
  7. This fucker is firing up over Galveston yet again.
  8. I think it’s @Pancho that’s in the Lake Houston area? That area has been getting hammered for hours.
  9. SIAP, but if current models hold true, we may be getting on-scene reports from Frankie in a Cat 1 hurricane. Hopefully Frankie will be along shortly to allay my concerns.
  10. Do we have to tip the strippers if they don’t wear rollerskates?
  11. * Albert Haynesworth is going on dialysis and needs a new kidney

    Fresh Seafood

    I remember a good thread on this from the old site. Looking for the best place to pick up fresh fish/scrimps, preferably without driving to the coast.
  13. Luke Perry I think Surly etiquette requires that I insist that it was actually Owen Wilson.
  14. What’s the statute of limitations on admitting to hitting a kid in the head with a putter?
  15. This thread is the best on surly. Have to ask, are you really transporting a single rail beam from Sherman to LA?
  16. I’m proud to deliver the first rep for the above post.
