    A huge majority of the Flying Pilots are sh×tholes. They really are. No maintenance, rarely ever clean, so many things dont work. Lack of snow removal. They try to operate as cheaply as possible.

    My pickup in the town of Kent, Ohio seemed to not have a road department....lol roads were untouched, but it gave me the opportunity to test out the new Bridgestones on the van, which really impressed me with not only traction and braking, but ride as well.so far, sold on them. Heading to...

    Over a foot here along the lake. More inland. I sure love the Firestone winterforce tires I put on the rear wheel drive Grand Marquis. Better than a 4wd, I swear. They can only be used in 50 degree and lower temps because of the rubber compound. 150 bucks a tire, but so well worth it.

    Kinda quiet in here..I hope that everyone is staying warm and safe out there. Pure whiteout conditions at the moment here at home. Pretty ugly. Mom is ironically doing better, but still think she will not be living on her own anymore. It was a real emotional moment for her to have all her kids...

    You forgot the multitude of women who insist on holding something in one hand, (purse, wallet, coupons), as they use the other hand to unload the 100 plus items, one by one, onto the belt. Than what is more comical is to throw an economy size Trojan magnum size box of condoms in their cart when...

    I completely agree. But those self serve checkouts in a Pilot can be such a blessing versus standing in line forever especially when I am in high speed mode.

    I prefer to keep and maintain my freedom. And I love the simplicity and dependability of my older van. 3 breakdowns in 8 years isnt too bad.

    Truck shopping !

    He set up one of Caffes trucks. They'd know if he is still around. Good knowledgeable salesmen are hard to come by. Like the guy at Scaffidi Ford in Steven's Point, Si. John knows his poop. Real straightforward and honest.

    Ouch! I guess it's a Sprinter thing. But they are extremely honest and dont half azz anything. One visit there and you will be impressed. The owner himself takes it on a 30 min. yesterday drive alone, so he can listen to it distraction free. They even painted my rear end when complete. A real...

    That was quick.1st caller bought my 4 old van tires. 150 bucks, no squabble. The local construction guys eat these things up. I replace them prematurely so I get money out of them, and I keep new tires on the van. There is a huge difference in ride, these Bridgestones ride so much nicer than the...

    Well, that was quick. Sold my 4 old tires for 150.00 to the 1st caller. I always sell my old ones real quick to the local construction guys.

    I bought A the Andis brand "Master" model clippers. About 100 bucks. The same as the barbers use. I cut my hair every Friday. Save 15 bucks everytime. Do the math. Now, that's return on an investment. Being Italian, my hair grows fast. And I'm trying to keep up with Dollarsign...lol

    2nd Pilot in a row that the fuel card will not work. This has been an ongoing problem for over 7 months now to no avail. Pilot blames the fuel card. The WEX fuel card blames Pilot. It is a sparratic thing, I never know when or where it will work. Here's what happens... I swipe the fuel card and...
