Your post is incoherent enough that I don't even know what your argument is. We should return to a barter system?

Didn't see mpg listed anywhere though. I couldn't find any MPG listing nor a fuel tank capacity. The I5 diesel engine is promising. It has some torque and would also be good for towing. I'm particular on 4WD, though. I am sure that 2WD works for most, but I've grown accustomed to being able to click it in and get somewhere a bit off the beaten track. I couldn't make it to Valley Of The Moon, for example, in this. 4x4 Sprinter is coming to North America in 2015. But I'm already choking on the cost of a new Sprinter without 4x4. None of the companies will list the MPG of a vehicle like this. The best place I've found so far for this kind of info is http://www.Fuelly.com. The Promaster is actually a Fiat and has been running around Europe as the Ducato, but there's not too many on there with the gasoline engine. The problem with 4x4 in most places is that you need it for less than 1% of your driving, but it increases cost by quite a bit, both paying for the option up front then constantly in lower mpg. There's definitely times where I wish I still had the Land Hog so I could ski powder or get into the two climbing areas that need it around here but at the end of the day it simply isn't worth the money (to me). I'd rather spend my money on wine. The other factor is that I wouldn't feel comfortable offloading in a brand new 50k sprinter. But I imagine that 4x4 would be more for snow than heavy off road. Those things don't have burly suspensions. All that goes out the window if you're rich though. With modern traction control and a set of snow tires I think you're set with most vehicles out there for winter driving. If it was a $2k option I might think about getting 4 wheel drive, but it's probably more like a $10k option so no fucking way.
I have helped push a 2WD sprinter(mercedes version) in the plowed hyalite lot. And it had snow tires on it. The wanker probably should have bought the dodge version with 4wd rather than spending the extra on the mercedes logo.

Yup. a less-excited pair of kidlings I have never seen. School starts tomorrow.
I hope the extra two hours to do some work that I will have tomorrow morning will compensate for the incoherence due to getting up early.

I don't think I'd deal well with that; I started driving in TX, where residential speed limit is 30. So going 25 seems unnaturally slow.

I have a dubious distinction of making it into AAC 2014 accident reports for the broken biner on Mercy. I have no idea who submitted it. Some guy named Aram.
Ed's friend saw it and forwarded me a copy.

You're supposed to get a hunk of metal that would eventually need to be removed from your body, but it's seems you decided to skip that step.

Not that I know of. I think ANAM is kinda off the radar for a lot of Canadian climbers.

Seems like some people get the metal hunks without getting into the ANAM (cough-cough-camhead!) so it is not exclusive enough.
But we can count my bum knee as a payment of the entrance fee, instead?

I went camping by myself with my dogs up at Kolob Reservoir. 80 during the day. 40 at night. Would have been more peaceful without the hillbillies in their big trucks driving by at 5 am all camo'd out. And the 4wheelers. Am I the only one that hates those things?

Aw geez.....breaking your nose while climbing is a bit of an odd one though. How the heck did he do that?
