Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

Started a new job last week. Left the massive international company for a much smaller one of ~160 people. The culture change is massive, which is exactly what I was looking for along the standard new job must-haves and nice-to-haves and what not. The politics, the power-plays and the red tape reall...

Back in TX but wish I stayed in CO to be honest. What a great place.

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

Casting off for Durango, CO in the morning. Sadly not yet moving to CO but just a vacation. Got a car it with some friends and gf family; gonna be a good time. I was hoping to explore the passes a bit more this year (driving the 4Runner) but I’m seeing reports of floods and mud up at elevation. It a...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

With the two door, the wheelbase is going to be the limiting factor for towing. I think the reality is that most people don't pay very close attention to tongue weight or overall payload number; they just take the max trailer weight number published and go off that. And as you know, tongue weight, ...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

I have finally confirmed that the Jeep doesn't mind towing. Put about 2100 pounds behind it (that little 1200 lb capacity Harbor Freight trailer is a champ) and it did quite well both acceleration and braking. Being a two door, the tow rating is only 2000 lbs, but I see no reason that it couldn't h...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

Pretty sure it’s an inherent design flaw of many turbo engines. What makes you think the 2.0T is better; it could easily just be that there are far fewer examples of that engine out there. Either way, it’s probably blown out of proportion, like most things. You could very well be correct, but I've ...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

Yeah, my sonic was a steaming pile of garbage, although some on the forums of the time didn’t seem to have nearly as many issues.

That said, Sonics have not fared well. I don’t see many on the road around here as there are far more corollas and other subcompacts of that vintage seemingly everywhere.

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

When I travelled for work at times I caught myself appreciating the total freedom I had over my spare time. I didn’t have a dog to take care of as he was at home taken care of by a friend or GF. But at the same time, there are things in life that I can’t imagine doing without the pupper. We have don...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

In other news, my job search has stagnated and its really due to my inactivity. I’ve found that I have mostly slid back into a certain comfort zone that is interfering. I wouldn’t say I’m lazy, but definitely lost my focus while concentrating on other things going on. I need to refocus on it this we...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

I wonder if my parents will be bummed when I never have kids. Its probably in my sister's best interests to not reproduce either. My mom keeps asking me when the kids are gonna come. I don’t know. I’m 35 but I don’t feel like I’m ready for a kid and luckily neither is my GF. We both feel like there...
