He said he's getting 230 miles per tank which is about what my TJ gets - not terrible but not really good at all. He should be paying under $3/gallon and a 20 gallon tank = $60 fill up.

Has mpg gotten way worse?

He's also burning a gallon of oil for every gallon of gasoline.

Tell him to watch out for crop dusters.

Sure enough, there's a harrier on display at the Mobile station.

14" making it to sims's worksite has always been the changing of seasons, or the heat-death of the universe. inevitable, destined, prophesized.

I thought he'd end up getting there by Greyhound, though. I am stunned that vehicle didn't explode somewhere in Montana.

I'm confused. Do we have an address where 14 is? (I assume djdanno's address?)
As far as I know Everdave and angryrobots were the current points of contacts...
(I sent a laptop screen to Everdave today for use to refurbish a laptop to send to 14....)

The Dump Truck Out in the Field Next to the Bitchin' Van
Valentine, Nebraska 69201

should be good enough. It's not that big of a town.

Overnight/next day a cashier's check. Cashable at any bank. Not worth it for small amounts of money, though.

Opening a local bank account might require lying about home address and/or trigger fraud protection because 14's home addy is out of state.

Paypal djdanno?

Yeah, as a serious answer djdanno seems like the obvious target. He can hold all money in escrow for the project and act as banker as necessary to distribute funds. Some simple bookkeeping will keep it all straight. Obviously djdanno's address is the place to send stuff, since that's where they are.

If he's unwilling or unable to be the onsite accountant and banker for the project, we'll have to find an inferior alternative.

Safety glass will usually fall to bits below that, though, as the plastic center and outer glass deform at different rates.

Still, Jesus Christ Dave. I'm glad you're okay.

You're okay, right? Just lacking in the sock department?

I guess it's a little late to send him some marshmallows. :(

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it.
We have the technology.
We have the capability to build the world's first bionic Jeep.
Renix XJ will be that Jeep.
Better than it was before.
Better, stronger, faster.
