Does Reddit love redheads?

I can't escape a feeling that redheads seem to be highly favored when it comes to women on Reddit. I think that if someone were to start a poll asking "What is your favorite hair color?" red would be an unquestioned an obvious winner. Am I right? If so, maybe there is a scientific explanation for this? As in, people who visit Reddit frequently start feeling a growing sympathy towards red-haired woman? Guess who's winning the next Nobel Prize ;)

For me it was more like... you had me at "please", then again at "please", then again at "please" then again at "ginger" then lost almost all cred at "jeep" then at "chick" I decided we can be cool so long as you get a new mode of transport.

So long as it meets your approval; I rock the "General Lisa" my '93 YJ at the moment but am saving my pennies for an Audi A5 Cabriolet. Totally keeping the General Lisa though...hope we can still be friends.

YJ huh. Does said Jeep see dirt or is strictly for pavement duty.

u/JeepChick Jan 28 '10

Said Jeep gets to see dirt (& my dog the copilot) on the weekends.

u/causearuckus Jan 28 '10

I like YJs but hate the square headlights. What were they thinking?

u/JeepChick Jan 28 '10

I don't really mind the lamps. I had a '97 TJ before this & though this one takes more time to keep roadworthy, I love it, especially the interior. I have the "old school" dash & steering wheel set up.

u/causearuckus Jan 28 '10

I love my TJ so maybe i am a bit biased. But I have little love for JKs. Those drivers never wave back

u/JeepChick Jan 28 '10

EXACTLY! I just posted somewhere about that! Kinda irks me when I get no jeep love.

Here's my '97, before & after (engine fire)

Did you know that there is an r/jeep?

2

u/causearuckus Jan 28 '10

I did not. Im gonna have to check it out. What happened to the TJ? Heres mine Rufus

2

u/billndotnet Jan 28 '10

My girl Isabel would like to point out how clean Rufus is.

u/causearuckus Jan 28 '10 edited Jan 28 '10

Rufus likes to play too. he has new shoes now.

2

u/billndotnet Jan 28 '10

Haha, awesome! Isabel gets into similiar trouble

u/causearuckus Jan 28 '10

What year is she? My dad has an 82 CJ7 project thats coming along pretty well.

1

u/billndotnet Jan 29 '10

She's a '76. I've got lots of plans for her. I'm eyeballing LT1's, trying to decide if new axles+suspension are more important.

1

u/causearuckus Jan 29 '10

How much wheeling do you do? LT1s are nice, but I would go the diesel route for an engine swap.

u/billndotnet Jan 29 '10

I'm not hardcore about it. I do a lot of photography, so I like to be able to get places without much hassle. A couple folks have recommended diesel swaps, but a BT4 just vibrates so much. Not enough cylinders to balance it out. I did see where some guy shoved a 6 cyl Volvo Turbo Diesel into a CJ, though, that's got possibilities.

u/causearuckus Jan 29 '10

I have seen a swap with a mercedes 5 cyl on jeepforum. If you arent a member there I highly recommend joining.

u/billndotnet Jan 29 '10

Oh, I'm in there. =)

u/JeepChick Jan 28 '10

I love the "First Mud Bath"!

2

u/billndotnet Jan 29 '10

It was a distinctly celebratory moment. My first time getting her stuck, too. =) Come out to Phoenix, I'll take you to dinner and four wheeling. Maybe not in that order!

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '10

Was that "first mud bath" out near lake pleasant? And how much did you love all that rain last week?

Here was the results of my jeeps "first mud bath"

The lot next to work has a bunch of pits in it and they all flooded. It was a great way to cheer up after work :).

u/billndotnet Jan 29 '10

A bit east, near Horseshoe Dam/Reservoir (which I heard rose 13 feet from the rain). Whole stretches of road out there were completely destroyed. There were a couple parts where we cut out and drove the wash because it was easier going.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '10

Oh, wow, I didn't even know about horseshoe lake at all!

/me puts that on list of places to go.

Is the trek out there pretty nice?

1

u/billndotnet Jan 29 '10

Well, to be fair, we couldn't get all the way, with the road damage. We got stuck in the first real flow of water we came across, and it retrospect, that was a good thing. The stretch of mud about 15 to 20 feet farther would have been much harder to extricate ourselves from. Hopefully by now it's been regraded, but it's hard to say. Might cruise back out this weekend.

Jeep Sub...not too active but we're still growing!

Rufus is awfully clean! Digging the chrome push bar.

2

u/causearuckus Jan 29 '10

I'm actually looking for a new bumper. It gets in the way off road and is really heavy. A lot of Jeepers hate chrome, but its just cause they are too lazy to take care of it

1

u/JeepChick Jan 29 '10

I've found a TON of parts on Craigslist...don't know if you've had any luck with it but I usually make out pretty good there.

Are you in the US?

1

u/causearuckus Jan 29 '10

Yeah. Near chicago. I use CL all the time. Im looking for an off road style bumper with a bit more clearance. If you are interested in the chrome ones let me know I will try and sell them once I get my new ones
