You will be given a definition of a task first, then an example. Follow the example to solve a new instance of the task.
In this task you will be given a list of integers. You should find the maximum absolute difference between 2 integers in the list. The absolute difference is the absolute value of one integer subtracted by another. The output should be a single integer which is the largest possible absolute distance.

[73, 30, 71, 47, -65, 50, -90, -60]
Solution: 163
Why? The maximum absolute difference is 163 because '|-90 - 73| = 163' which is the maximum possible absolute difference. So this is a good example.

New input: [76, -88, 37, 82, -28, -18, 91, -17]
