    Panther Recruiter

    When I joined P2 they never asked for mine. I would think the only reason if they did was to see if it was honorable or not. Wouldn't matter though, after 6 months of a dis-honorable discharge you can have it changed.

    True or False?

    Well go back bout 10 year, take the $2,000/month savings you've been working on and invest it all on the Google IPO. Then fast forward to where the stock hit a high of around $575/share.

    cable tv in the truck

    RE: Slingbox update For anyone who doesn't know this item is called a "place shifter". It coverts what ever signal you want into digital and then at a remote location you can watch it. The home unit can control your tv, tivo, cable cable box, etc. I like the idea of the Tivo the best, it...

    Your Dream Truck

    Well someone has to buy the new trucks otherwise you wouldn't have the nice $40,000 truck to buy. Personally I could see spending 200k+ on a truck. I like big and shinny things. At that price range your talking a fully loaded class 8 w/ duals, lift gate, refer, generator, etc. And with that you...

    Ford Toyota Merger?

    If they did they would probably just want the name. Take the Ford name slap it on one of their cars. Close the plants, sell the assets. Ford has the #1 truck I think (f150) so take the tundra, change it a tad throw on the F150 tag and now they have the best selling truck.

    Two Kinds of "Out of Service"

    I might be wrong but... DOT only requires a drug test after an acident if there was only damage, if there is an injury then you are tested for booze. On randoms the company you drive for can decide if they want to do drugs, booze or both. They have to do so many of each. Side story, I thought my...

    I'm still trying to get back into this but after numerous tries at buying a truck I posted an ad to find a owner looking for a truck.

    Wi-Fi antenna

    I bought a special Wi-fi card that is Hi-powered and an Antenna to go with it. Didn't do squat. An antenna might be able to let you see a weaker signal and send a signal BUT there is no way to "boost" the incoming so if you are getting a weak signal your not going to be able keep the connection...

    Americas-Union

    I'm not trying to push my agenda and/or thoughts in anyway, just share my view. It's a 50/50 toss up, this all might just be some cruel mans joke and this just might be the start of it all. Only time will tell where this country is heading and who is right and who is wrong.
