    Come on now let's be realistic. There's probably at least like 10,000 people right?

    It depends on how old the V6 Dodge combination is. They definitely had some boat anchors back in the day but a modern V6 Dodge (in a car) I wouldn't mind spending a little time with. Their pentastar is no slouch and their transmissions are actually fantastic with how fast they shift and very usable gear ratios.

    There's 185,225 'customers' that are tracked on the power grid; which is households or individual accounts.... So, I'd think you could easily double or triple that number to get the number of residents; either way probably well below 1,000,000 :thumbsup:

    Businesses count as customers, and there isn't a single power grid. We have lots of separate companies and co-ops.

    About 40% less. More like 600,000 and hopefully it does not increase. Need to hide the gem that is Wyoming and keep it rough and pristine.

    Not bad, but missing the rural areas. We just had a census, so that'll be your best bet for population. Though, this last winter scared off lots of transplants.

    Don't be sorry...think of it as drinking whiteclaw for a week, then when you can't stand it any longer having three fingers of a top shelf bourbon. It makes you really appreciate the good things in life.

    I think he was saying the earth is flat, but there's an atmospheric dome covering it... Like when you pay for room service and they bring your meal up to you :D

    The room service dome is to make you think that the food was hot in the not too distant past but in reality they just pulled it out of the fridge and threw the dome over it.

    Very similar to my two Tundras. 189,000 on the '08 and 10,000 on the '20.

    My '08 has crept up to over 260k, and things are starting to go now...

    Starter about 2 years ago; AC compressor last year; shift solenoid this year; and now the damn alternator... Although I can't complain with the service on each of those items as they were original, but each one is a bitch in labor to get to :mad:

    I'm starting to hit that point in deciding it's time to stop maintaining the '08, selling it off and just driving the Pro...

    Only issue with my '08 at this point is the loss of the clear coat on the hood - everything else is original. I jumped on getting the '20 thinking the '08 was ready for replacement soon (and at the beginning of Covid everyone thought the sky was falling so the dealers were providing steep discounts - $7K under sticker). But my wife loves the '08, wanted to keep it, and it is nice to use in rough areas keeping the '20 good looking.

    Wow, I'm really groggy. My wife is probably poisoning me, or at least drugging me.
    Anyway, I'm on the fence about historical sites. I guess it depends on what it is. Some of the old military stuff has a lot of historical meaning, but the physical structures themselves were built for the short term. They weren't thinking 50, 100 yrs ahead. They served their purpose and then they abandoned them. Which actually seems shitty to me. They destroyed the natural beauty of the terrain and then left it to rot. On one hand I'd say demo that junk and let nature take it back. On the other hand, we need to not forget our past, so we don't do it again. Then again, we don't learn good anyway and our history is a bunch of romance, fairy tale nonsense and lies. And that's just the parts we pick & choose to even talk about. You could always sell to a private developer and turn it into a brewery, or a weird BnB, or whatever. but then you have parking lots and utilities and attract extra humans that further destroy the landscape.
    So, I'm on the fence with that stuff.
    The Chrysler 3.6 is fine for cars and minivans. I've driven the Pacifica minivan a few times and it a really nice vehicle. I actually want(ed) one. But I had the 3.6 in the RAM promaster van and, though the first 3 gears were good at getting the van moving off the start, it fell on its face in 6th gear and had to down shift with the slightest incline or head wind. Or, need to speed up even 2 mph. It just didn't have the power to be in a full sized heavy vehicle.
    After being in the Tacoma fo a month, I would much prefer the Toyota V6, if I'm stuck with one in a heavier vehicle.
    And,...I know the earth is flat. If it's not flat, then how come I can look down the street and still see houses and trees and stuff, huh?
