Whew!

Bills are paid. I had some left over to start holiday shopping. BRIAN, this means if you're going to buy yourself something (aside from obscure Boba bits) you should check with me first, you goof!

Driving in with my Mom's car to work this morning was interesting. Its got way less pickup than my Impala (she's got a Jeep Cherokee). I would have assumed the opposite given that its an SUV. I can't wait to get Hedwig back for myself all new and improved. :)

Mom got a wheenie Jeep. Hers is only a 6 cylinder. She should've gotten the 8! (Especially considering how much it cost her)

My car is only a 6, but It must either be more powerful than the Jeep's engine or its just easier to move given that the vehicle is smaller.

Nice wheels for you! Its the first time I've seen them in person.

Hey - are you still looking for a roomate? I may know someone interested in checking it out if you are.

Her 6 cyl is a rear wheel drive truck so it's weak. Yours is front wheel drive (isn't it?) and it's much smaller, much like mine.
Still need roomies. Talk to dad about that.

Often SUVs don't have a ton of pick up since they are built for towing versus speed. The way the transmission gear are set up tend to be very different. A six in your car is geared for smooth speed, while in a 'real' jeep it would be geared towards towing a boat or crawling over rocks, tasks that require power and torque but not speed.

Hopefully your Impala will be back soon.
