    Ordering back up

    What is your opinion of Stoeger shotguns? I have a Stoeger Coach Gun 12Ga. Double barell and I LIKE it! I have had some "experts" tell me they are a POS. Naturally somebody just has to have an expert opinion. What are your views of Stoeger? Thanks in advance. Jumbuck

    Detroit has money to burn

    I'll bet if they checked closer, some city concilmen's relative owns the leasing company! That's probably why they won't correct the problem.

    Panther Sale getting closer....

    Thanks for correcting me. Con-Way did NOT merge with CF. But they did use Con-way (non-union) to run all the business CF (union) had under the (non-union) Con-Way name. Correct? They didn't do it right away, but that's what they had in mind from the start...No? Then they closed CF's (union)...

    Panther Sale getting closer....

    Maybe on paper but not in practice...they did nothing to stop Con-way from merging with Consolidated and then later closing down Consolidated Freightways. There are untold cases of Double-Breasting which means running a non-union company right along side of a union company and then later closing...

    Tailgatting

    RIGHT ON, Phil! NO body in this world hates bad and dangerous drivers more than me, but people, you can't do it!

    Dear Moot: I read your advice on what the busy drivers do but please don't think I'm trying to be a smart-$%& but there are some instructions you gave that I will need some more help on if you don't mind.
