But TSN has a point there. Why would running over railway tracks at normal speeds ruin the suspension of a jeep - aren't they supposed to be nearly indestructible?
(I remember seing footage of U.S. nuclear tests from the 50's and 60's a while ago. One of the clips showed a jeep that stood 1200 feet away from ground zero being hit by the shockwave. The thing just turned over and burnt. The footage showed the site after the test - and guess what - the jeep was still very well recognisable...)
But of course that was just an atomic explosion and not some baddy-bad railroad-crossing!

Rick Jones' jeep is obviously better than Jeff's.

Now what is that supposed to mean when it's at home?
Oh and by the way - I have not yet played NWN. Might have something to do with the fact that my PC is not up to the task...being an AMD K6-II with 450 MHz. (Ok, so I can hear everybody howling, but why should I care, I might not be all that old, but I do enjoy vintage equipment! )

If crossing those railroad tracks at greater than 5mph has even a remote chance of "fucking up" the suspension, there's no way I'd ever want to drive a Jeep. I'd be afraid I'd hit a small pebble backing out of the driveway and the wheels would fall off.

Well He-Man was supposed to be the most powerful man in the universe (!) and he couldn't get past a corpse in dark-pink tights. Whose forces consisted mainly of birth defects.

Of course, He-Man also wore pink tights when not doing the tanned and echoey voice bit. Combine that with Skeletor's voice, and the only logical conclusion is that Eternia is the gay capital of the universe.
See ya later Michael!

And that green tiger thing - one minute he's anyone's bitch, the next he's so butch I'm amazed the transformation didn't involve him growing a moustache.

Although I bet those furry pants were comfortable.
