One reason I would never buy a ragtop is because of wind noise on fast

From what I have heard through the grapevine Cox is not going to drop their
Cable internet access. From what I heard they might drop @home name and
stuff and the service might be changed somewhat. I hope they don't I love
it... Its fast and awesome. I hope I never have to get DSL. I have delt with
it on many occasions and its noting but a tech support lovers dream! And not
very reliable. Cable is pretty much plug and chug... IMO DSL is somewhat of
a hack of the phone companies trying to squeeze every last bit out of the
POTS they can ;) Again just an opinion...

Here's my pics from todays Lower Woodpecker run.

We had a fun day. 2 XJ's, 1 TJ, 3 YJ's and a CJ. We ended up running the wash up to the first couple of obstacles in Lower Ajax. Is it just me, or are these trails getting easier??
It sure will be nice when it cools off............

One reason I would never buy a ragtop is because of wind noise on fast

From what I have heard through the grapevine Cox is not going to drop their
Cable internet access. From what I heard they might drop @home name and
stuff and the service might be changed somewhat. I hope they don't I love
it... Its fast and awesome. I hope I never have to get DSL. I have delt with
it on many occasions and its noting but a tech support lovers dream! And not
very reliable. Cable is pretty much plug and chug... IMO DSL is somewhat of
a hack of the phone companies trying to squeeze every last bit out of the
POTS they can ;) Again just an opinion...
