The beauty of 4wd! I dont expect the x-fer case to withstand the kind of power that engine is putting out, and it listed no mods to the driveline other than the tranny. I used to race at a track that had a sub 8 second CJ-7. Its all about the $$$$. I think it probably depends on the particular x-fer case... I know a guy who's putting 800bhp through a non-modified 2003 Toyota Tacoma in 4wd. Granted, he doesn't launch it very hard (relatively), but it hasn't broken yet... The rear-end was the weak-link apparently, which he replaced with something much more beefy. Gravity Waits for No One.

Never have, nor have I even seriously considered it... However, there's gotta be a circumstance out there that would make me hit a woman, like if she purposely tried to kill or seriously injure me or someone else. If it came to the point where I felt I needed to, the situation would be pretty dire. At some point it doesn't matter if it's a man, woman, or whatever... The person needs to get fucked up... That being said, on multiple occasions I've physically defended women who were being abused or taken advantage of... Gravity Waits for No One.

Yep, I've gone out on several dates with women who recently contacted me at least in part because I skydive and rock climb. Have one tomorrow actually. Yeah, I've also had some pretty ODD ones... You know, the mid-30's to early 40's need-to-make-babies type... I get a lot of those... And they're not the fake profiles that everyone gets a shitload of. I feel like such an object... They only want me for sex. Gravity Waits for No One.

RANT (a bit off-topic, but I need to vent about my favorite ice cream): Nobody sells it anymore, but Swensen's used to carry the best flavor I've EVER had... Nothing has ever some close to rivaling it. They called it Chacolate Amareto Cheesecake. It was made with super rich dark chocolate ice cream that had gooey chunks of amaretto soaked brownie stuff in it. When I was a kid, several times I got a 2-gallon pail of that instead of a cake for my b-day.

How do you know you don't have it? Duh, because soap kills everything. Gravity Waits for No One.

Totally... There were some much better nipples out there. I personally thought second row, second from the left (the one with a bunch of pics) should have won. Gravity Waits for No One.

Don't know about the US, but in Canada that would be against the law. (assuming you witnessed it) So that means you would choose to watch someone die, as opposed to doing what you could to keep them alive and incurring the small risk of being sued? Gravity Waits for No One.

I guess you really can tell a lot about a person's personality and character from short remarks on the forum. Kevin Totally Too bad, but it does help support my argument... Gravity Waits for No One.

I've been renting a Triathlon 175 loaded at 1.26 and it's been slamming the crap outa me every time I jump it. I've decided that I'm not going to tent that rig again unless I absolutely have to. The slider seems particularly small, but for all I know it could be the standard size. Gravity Waits for No One.

How do you get that? Are you suggesting that the accident rate for jumps 2200-2300 is higher than that for jumps 0-100? and that jumps 4700-4800 is higher yet again? I don't think so. Yes he is, and statistically that's true. Poppycock! With a constantly increasing level of danger those with 10 000 and more would be dying at a phenomenal rate per jump made. Since these people tend to jump close to 1000 times a year their fatality rate over time would be even more pronounced. The statistics demonstrate just the opposite. That's why I'm curious about how many jumps are made by the 500+ group. This month's Parachutist claims that the majority of deaths are in that group, but I agree, it makes more sense to look at it on a jump by jump basis. What's more pertinent is the risk on any one individual jump, not necessarily how many in each category are dying. Gravity Waits for No One.

Crap! I think you just gave ME PTSD. Gravity Waits for No One.

Whoops! That sucks. Thank god for insurance! Gravity Waits for No One.

Sweet! Gravity Waits for No One.

Come to Skydive Santa Barbara! I'll jump with ya! Gravity Waits for No One.

Cool. It's truly amazing to me how many people really don't give a shit about anyone they don't know. We're all in this together... If people would figure that out we'd all have a better quality of life. Gravity Waits for No One.

I love Freudian humor. Gravity Waits for No One.

Definitely, that is the root of the problem. Apparently, and not surprisingly, jumpers above 500 jumps are more likely to become complacent than jumpers with fewer jumps. I'd like to see what percentage of jumps are made by each group (above 500 and below). Gravity Waits for No One.

Lol, I'm currently attending Cal Poly SLO for my BSME and some of the students I'm in class with are complete fucking robots... I was really bored in this lame lab class the other day, so I was joking around quite a bit, and I had this little shithead ask me how old I thought I was, so I replied with, "Old enough to know that life's a whole lot more fun if you don't go around all day with a stick shoved up your ass"... After thinking about it for a while he chilled out quite a bit... Apparently he thought he had to be completely serious ALL the time... It's like the engineer's code or something. Gravity Waits for No One.

From what I've heard, being an asshole works pretty well... Ya know, don't call when you should, don't EVER let you think you actually like her, and basically try to exude a general feeling of disinterest. But what do I know, I'm not an asshole... Gravity Waits for No One.

How do you get that? Are you suggesting that the accident rate for jumps 2200-2300 is higher than that for jumps 0-100? and that jumps 4700-4800 is higher yet again? I don't think so. Yes he is, and statistically that's true. Gravity Waits for No One.

This months Parachutist should shed some light on the answer... 61% of fatalities were D-license holders. Gravity Waits for No One.

Unless you have medical/trauma training and experience, I would suggest that you NOT do that other than offer the use of a cell phone if needed...and then leave. I'm not an EMT, but I have taken Wilderness 1st responder classes. A cell phone won't do anything if someone stops breathing or if they're loosing large volumes of blood. But hey, what do I know though, I've also run after bank robbers and car thieves, so I can't profess that any of those actions are a good idea. My philosophy is this: If I would want someone to help me in a certain situation (like if I was injured in a car wreak), then I do my best to lend that sort of assistance to anyone I see who is in that sort of situation. It would be nice to think that MOST people had the same mentality as well, but the truth is that most people are either too scared and/or are too selfish to do anything to help anyone they don't know. I don't believe in karma either, because I know it's unlikely that I will ever have someone help me in similar situations. I do it because I want to and I never expect anything in return. And I do know the possibility exists for my actions to come back and bite me in the ass, and if that happens, then so be it. I'd rather get in trouble for trying to help someone rather than deal with the guilt of knowing that I didn't and someone was worse off for it. I know most people don't do that, but I could give a shit what most people do. In my experience, I've only had people be very happy that I helped. Except the guy I sent to the hospital because he was beating his wife. She was happy though. Gravity Waits for No One.

Wouldn't it be 1? Only after it bounced a few times. Gravity Waits for No One.
