    Not So Fast General McChrystal......

    The thing about pakistan is that they are in pretty much a civil war with the taliban and other groups trying to overthrow the government. They can turn on India as a distraction to motivate the people to help unify the country while at the same time really cracking down on the region that...

    Not So Fast General McChrystal......

    I agree that the "winning of Hearts and Minds" of the people is already a done deal but our leadership on the ground there doesn't - seeing that the McCrystal report is such a nice bit of political correctness. We are dealing with a population who is tired of being a target for one country or...

    eletronic device debate

    The bigger question is; does it really matter if we ban the devices that the companies are actually putting into the cars? What I mean is that the person matters, I don't think making things hands free will help, or banning GPS units or what ever because the person driving is still an idiot...

    basic van outfitting

    Leo, That has been my point with the "search and you will find" style of help you and others keep telling people. Now you may see what I mean when someone who has little knowledge of the industry or the technology tries to navigate through the search results and gets frustrated just to the...

    Chicago is OUT

    Glad it is over with. The people who are in denial should seek professional help or take the gas pipe. Obama would have been better off going home and doing something useful for the country. But as mentioned, he trashed the country more so than any other president - both campaigning and as...

    basic van outfitting

    Leo, With the hundreds of threads on the subject of vans, the insulating of vans, the setup of vans, the parts and material used for vans; the word searchcomes to mind. I did just that a few weeks ago, spent two hours searching through the threads to find info, the funny thing is it works...

    More Wasted Tax Payer Dollars!!

    Nah, they are ramping up the scene to look like Rio who also has a large number of killings in the past few months - they even have roving shootouts. IF the Olympics comes to Chi town, people who are against the trip should boycott the event and the sponsors.

    More Wasted Tax Payer Dollars!!

    IT IS WRONG The trip for her will be around $7m - she is traveling with a full entourage of people and government officials for pre-arrival of the O. But the cost of the O's trip will be well over $10 million, it is sounding like more or less $12M when it is all said and done - but that is...

    eletronic device debate

    Well it is not the read the 15 page pamphlet and take the 10 question test way of licensing. It is not the "well that's ok that you failed.... here's what you missed... that's a stop sign... see the word stop?..... go back and make the correction...." Michigan style of testing. The first thing...

    Leasing a truck

    Dave, not to yank your chain on this but $25,000 for a 2000 seems high, or am I missing something?

    September Location

    No not really. The filter is too fine for rust, it clogs easily and that's why I changed the primary and secondary filter. I think that it should be a requirement that all trucks made today have aluminum tanks. It should have been back in 1998.

    GM to shut down Saturn brand

    This is the brand that they need to keep. It has the loyalty and the sales to sustain itself outside the system. Penske could have gotten even honda to get involved to produce the vehicle. Here we are wondering why couldn't Penske get one of the GM or Ford plants that have been closed to produce...

    eletronic device debate

    It is the same amount of BS that has taken place in the past. 6000 people have been killed or they claim killed from cell phone texting and general usage and they treat this as such a big deal. The root of the problem is the inability to drive the vehicle in the first place, we need a...

    Winters coming...

    So outside of really wanting snow, unsulating the van and making your wife shovel coal for heat, how many are actually preping the truck/van for winter? I came home last Thursday, started Friday messing around and finished yesterday cumulating with a four hour visit to lansing thanks to the...

    you need how many batteries?

    Jack, you confirmed my point, thanks - being part of the up front cost and there is no problem instead of messing around all those receipts and so on. I am messing around about the WG/C unit reefer thing because it seems everyone is still saying that is the best way to make those big bucks...

    Ford E250 4x4 to Sprinter? should I? lots of Q's

    Honest feedback? Ok here goes...... The sprinter is not an easy vehicle to understand, it is German and rather in comparison of a ford or chev, complicated from the very nature of the people who designed and built it. The maintenance is not all that easy to do, for example the trans is a...

    you need how many batteries?

    Leo, I went through this a couple times with FedEx, I never got the $80 for the supplies the second time. When I got other containers to haul I told them to tack the amount onto the revenue right from the start and include the dead head to find the supplies. They did every time. They don't need...
