yeah cuz that'd help with all this snow 2,000 miles away.

You keep bringing up those stupid details that don't matter.

It's my excuse for not buying a SxS too.... If I could just rip it down the street and off into the desert or up into the mountains I'd get one so fast... Unfortunately my street just dead ends at a golf course and a 4 lane road.

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

same here with waiting on the SxS, i have an agent out west working on another house, problem is I will very likely have to sell mine first or have a contingent offer.

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

this the digs im looking at

Sign me up for that if I could find work and afford it!

 

[RICH17]

Need a roommate?

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

I put in my time here working basically two jobs for 10 years, so would just be transferring home equity from here to there, but instead of 1/3 acre here costing 25k property taxes, 1 acre there is 4400/year, and 1 acre is actually small, most parcels are 5 acres out there.

 

[FESTER665]

Thats what I'm talking about... Need a SxS just to go check out my property....

Sign me up!

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

well buzz killington real estate agent out there informed me they owe too much on that property to accept (in my eyes) a fair offer

not to worried about it

keep your buttholes tight on I70

Two days of sun followed by 8 more days of snow. I think it's snowed more this month than 25 years in Chicago. At least it feels that way.

It easily has LoL, curious what the totals are and will be, I think you guys got 40' last year? I have booked 2/28-3/2 and 3/22-26

 

[Wolfman]

I'm nowhere near out west right now but my mind continues to be BLOWN by all this.. This snow wall was 15-20'

I'm guessing the door broke open?

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

Lols mt rose

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Mercy.

 

[Rebel]

Yeah, that messed up my commute earlier this week. Looked at our totals and we got 341" last year which is still a little below average. We're at almost 200" since jan 1 (277" total) with another storm coming in next week. It has the potential to be just as strong as the last one. We'll see what happens.

Fuck i70

 

[JaimeVrod]

Its like 14 hours or something like that. I remember looking into it a year or two back.

Id love to do it in the Evo but thats a long way from home to have something happen.

I think you also have to worry about not being able to get high octane gasoline out there. In the higher elevations, they use lower octane gas and that could be a problem if your car is tuned for 93.

 

[SleeperLS]

Only 91 around here

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

And 91 acts as 93 at high elevation.......

 

[SleeperLS]

And 91 acts as 93 at high elevation.......

Would it act the same on a boosted vehicle?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I don't see why it wouldn't be. Octane rating is the resistance to knock. High elevation gives more knock resistance because there's less air. It the reason my truck runs perfectly fine on 85 octane.


I guess if you were trying to compensate in your tune for it, then maybe it would be an issue

My Subaru ran less psi with no changes here. I'm guessing if you attempted to add more boost (back to where it would be at sea level) then you'd probably run into issues.
