If they set Dave to "Ignore", we'll know....

I count two. No, wait! You're right! Who would believe that tiny East Rutherford, New Jersey, pop. 8716, would have TWO NFL teams :eek: :)

Skyraider, is yours a 318 or a 360? I had a '99 with a 360 and if I got 16 mpg it was a miracle. Even with the cruise set to 65 I'd get 14.5 at best; 'course I was driving thru Jersey, where the usual speed is 55 in the right lane and 80 in the left. Has your cruise control died yet? Mine...

Some states, especially back East where I live, consider sitting at a stoplight to be "moving" for the purpose of issuing texting and/or hand-held-cell-phone tickets. Since your foot is on the brake and your vehicle is in Neutral* or Drive, you're not officially stopped. Best way to handle this...

I'm not sure Southern is a guy at all. In the lesbian culture, a "boi" is a person who tries to act and appear as a young teen boy; someone who may turn butch, or even bull as she grows older. How do I know this? I learned some funky stuff while working in Manhattan.... That and Google ;)...

I'm a Type 2. I agree that losing weight and exercising is a better, and hella cheaper way to control diabetes. Bypass surgery is an option, though, so why not consider it if you've found it hard to lose the weight. I doubt I'd go through with it; Lord knows I can't afford it! BTW, Type One...

? I agree that a driver should be loyal to the company that signs his or her check, but there are limits. Only my God and my wife get my unalterable fidelity. Just about any company out there looks after its own best interests with little thought to those of its workers; even stockholders don't...

As a diabetic, I find this article VERY interesting: Weight loss surgery may cure diabetes in many cases | Reuters This could have a significant effect on not only expediting, but trucking as a whole. What do y'all think?

In your childhood you want to spend your birthday in a toy store; in your teens it's the mall. In your 20's you want to spend it in a bar, in your 30's the place to go is a nice restaurant. Once you hit 40, there's one place you really want to spend your birthday: alone with the one you love....

Not if they're filled with nitrogen....

Phil made that very point in today's blog post. He also stated that it was no longer a question of IF he and Diane were leaving FECC, but when. I wish them best of luck :)

So cool I made it my desktop wallpaper :)

What is it about firstborns, that they need to do this? My son did the same thing, they even had to assist his breathing for 30 seconds! And I, being an EMT, knew exactly what they were doing, so I was scared spitless! Thank God, 24 years later, all is well. I do think, however, that firstborns...

Supposedly most of the phone calls, etc. come early in the game, when your authority is still in process and you can't run yet. Is that true? I changed my voicemail greeting to inform callers that I do not accept incoming solicitations for insurance, IFTA, etc. When I get a call from a number I...

What a fun post to read! I grew up in that area, have been to the dealership in question to gawk at the shiny red cars several times, and I can imagine the fun Mr. Baker must have had on the twisty two-lanes between Rosemont and the PA turnpike entrance he would eventually have used to head...

I noticed that within the last couple years that Ford was rating so-called half-tons at really high GVWs, such as 8500 for the E150, 9000 for the 250, and 9500 for the 350 (Numbers approximate). I think that's to get the 150 out of the range of being counted as a passenger car for the CAFE...

According to Wikipedia, it's a village of 104 people, so a trip thru would be a quickie for sure.

"Dodge missed the boat they could have put their Cummins diesel in a van(that was a inline six I think) Old Dodge vans" If they had, the doghouse would have been 18" longer. The 360 in my old 99 came almost to the end of the inside of the doghouse. If it weren't for the huge redesign costs...

UPDATE: The beginning of this project has been pushed back one week to the 4th of August. Local police departments complained that they weren't given sufficient time to prepare for the huge influx of traffic onto local roads. I am not sure whether the Westbound closures will start on the 4th as...
