    Outrageous Tolls

    I think I'd be removing my 3500 badges and investing in some wheel covers at least to use while in that area.

    Weekend Jobs?

    Jen, You might try Rapid Delivery of Indiana (airport area) or Wheels Assured (Beech Grove area). They are two local courier companies who do a fair amount of "expedited" runs to surrounding states. They will be more apt to work around your schedule than the "big boys".

    Smells

    I was at the J in Indy earlier this week and some wanker had tossed a used condom right in the fuel lane next to the pumps. Filthy bast*rds.

    U-SHIP

    I have looked at several postings and there seems to be two problems. 1)People want stuff delivered for nothing. 2)Lack of communication after a bid is received. If it works for you, fantastic but it looks like a major headache with little reward to me.

    TELEMARKETING AND JUNK MAIL

    The least of my worries is causing the credit card companies more in expenses. Who cares?? Those idiot loan sharks deserve what they get. They send out millions of pre-approved credit offers to anyone with a pulse (even that is not a prerequisite) and charge 17-21% interest and then get mad...

    OOPS, my mistake. Must have been a couple years off. Must have been thinking about the SpaceWagon or the WonderWagon.

    2007 Sprinter Model

    I think someone at the DOT is in DC's back pocket. When the Sprinter 3500 cab/chassis first came out it had a 9990# GVWR just like the Sprinter 3500 cargo van. Then sometime in the 2004 model year the 3500 cab/chassis mysteriously became labeled as a 10,200 GVWR. Woo hoo 210# extra capacity...

    2007 Sprinter Model

    It is my understanding that they are only concerned with the manufacturer's GVWR which is posted inside the driver's door. If it is 10,001 and higher you better have a DOT # on the door, a log book and a DOT medical card. This comes from a very distinguished Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement Officer.

    Ford to close Norfolk

    It is my understanding that Hazelwood (St Louis AP) will close near the end of this year but Claycomo (KCAP) will remain open.

    The Best Food In Indiana

    I don't drive the Indiana Toll Road now. It's just as easy to run up to I-94 or across US 20 or US 6. This is before the price increase.

    RE: Is a sprinter 2500 shc 158 Supreme Corp is the only "approved" body installer through DaimlerChrysler however I know of others that are mounting them. US Truck Body of Streator, IL is one of them. Also if you can find one of the first Sprinter 3500 cab/chassis produced in USA, they had a...

    Pilot, Going Back to old points

    Yes! They are only competitive if there is a J at the same exit and even then they are at least 2 cents a gallon higher. Then they charge me 5 cents a gallon for using my Discover card and the J doesn't charge me any extra. Phooey on them.
