With CAT making serious cutbacks, has this affected you? It seems the run count is way off.

I totaled up 15 consecutive runs in Sept 1992. Result $4450. Then I totaled 15 for Sept 2013. Result $4273. I ran the CPI( Consumer price Index) and found out that 1992 dollars of $4450 should be $12,630. I won`t comment farther. The figures speak volumes. This is for a "B" unit. 1992 Van...

A USPS driver just tried to pass a package to me. He was bewildered when I explained we are not Express. I had my last truck unbranded. wish This one was too. (whats USPS doing with a FE pkg anyway?)

Lawrence asked me to repost from FECC Forum. Well today I had to put my steed down. It was painless and she is resting peacefully. She served me faithfully for 10 years. Though her engine purred as when new, her tranny just couldn't take it any more. IE: 2004 FL M2 MBE 900-260 6 spd manual. As...
