    Are Abraham Lincoln’s words pertinent today?

    Sorry OVM, Lincoln was a man of the times. He is the single source of our federally controlled central government which wasn't the way our country was to be formed. The states were before that time independent from the feds but look what happened. Sins? Slavery? Family killing family...

    Prince of Freight 1.33 for a Tractor

    Well it isn't everyone. It seems that maybe it could be one of them "valued customers" or coming from the freight people? I was offered more than they the other day - $2.24 a mile but the customer decided to add 21,000 lbs more than my truck can haul and it went to a t/t for $2.65 a mile.

    What is up with Texas

    Well I don't see the problem, Texas is well Texas. I mean think about this for a minute; "Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer or a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance." If our speaker of the house can say...

    2011 Nissan NV

    Leo, Just because it has more gears doesn't mean it will get better mileage. I understand that the mileage is not coming right from the trans but other changes too. The added gears help a lot but ... By the way it is about time GM gets into the real world, too bad it is a government company.

    2011 Nissan NV

    Well I hope so, but their top rating is 4600 kg gross so I would think that looks could be deceiving. The one thing that I found surprising is the possibilities that the Mexican model may be sold here with the 2.2l diesel and a small duratorque trans instead of the 3.2l diesel. If this happens...

    Justice Roberts: Scene at State of Union 'very troubling'

    I think a lot missed an important point in all of this. The president is putting the Chief Justice on notice that he is in charge. It is realyl a joke that Elmer Gibbs responded to Robert's comments, like anyone cares. As he said "To the extent the State of the Union has degenerated into a...

    2011 Nissan NV

    There's no doubt that Nissan can fill the gaps left by the "dodge" sprinter and the lack of new products coming out of GM and Ford. MB is still dealing with the confusion of the consumer - is it a Frieghtliner, a Dodge or a Mercedes. The other issue I have heard about is how some dealers don't...

    New charges coming at Pilot

    Jim, Anyone standing behind the counter ignoring a customer and talking on their phone or to another worker is arrogant and rude. It says "I don't need to deal with you" and "I'm in control". Even though we are big boys and girls with big trucks, the lack of customer service or the poor...

    Obama wins 2012 with third party help

    Why does it have to be a conservative? A lot of people are turned off by their messages and positions. The present situation for our country may not be one for a conservative to solve, but maybe a libertarian or classic liberal to solve. About the electoral college, the state may vote one...

    New charges coming at Pilot

    Actually Turtle Pilot (the chain where it happened) sent me a rather interesting email about it Friday as a follow up to the original complaint. It explained that it was not normal, the manager of the restaurant has been replaced because my complaint led to a discovery of a rather large amount...

    Obama wins 2012 with third party help

    Just look at the election 100 years ago - 1912. It seems history is sort of repeating itself in regards of a third party. There may be more of a threat to Obama by a left of center/near center candidate from the democrats than there may be with a right of candidate from the republicans. On...

    March 2010 Location

    What TJ? DID you get your own van? I hope so! E-1, I don't know about that company, they have that Ontario guy driving for them and he seems to have a lot of time being nice, talking on the phone and meeting people. I really hope you will be successful with this move.

    2011 Nissan NV

    Interesting ... One WB 146 inches. One body size, but two tops Based on the Titan platform so it looks and 'handles' like a pickup. Supposed to compete with the GM and Ford vans but not the sprinter. Every shot I saw (press kit and live photos) showed the pallets in the back but seems to...

    New charges coming at Pilot

    Actually Turtle I understand that, but this wasn't about compensating the employee as part of their benefits, it went beyond that. You may be able to tell me if I am wrong when several of us are standing in line waiting to place an order, out of no where comes a family with 6 kids and 3 adults...
