    Some Preliminary Thoughts on Garmin Nuvi465t

    Have you had yours very long? Mine's given me some really stupid routing, including dirt roads once. One of my favorite things about a GPS is the ETA. It's nice to just glance at the screen instead of doing the math in your head. At this point, I wish I'd returned it. My hope is that the...

    Some Preliminary Thoughts on Garmin Nuvi465t

    I too went from a 330 to the 465. I got mine shortly after they came out. IMHO, it's a huge, steaming, odiferous pile of crap. I was out on Long Island Thursday. Instead of simply routing me 295 to 495, it wanted me to get off, then back on the xway. This thing is a huge disappointment from a...

    Does anyone know a safe hotel in the Raleigh area?

    Glad to hear he's doing better, but, how many appendixes does he have?

    Idling in Sprinter

    Why would you want an air cooled engine? I had a couple of Bugs and it made me appreciate having a car with a good heater in the winter.

    A Way To Help Get Repeat Drunk Drivers Off the Road

    What a load of crap. Because a drunk has been lucky enough not to hurt someone, they're better? It's one thing to have a craving, it's another to indulge it then choose to get behind the wheel. If a guy shoots at someone and misses, that's attempted murder. If a guy with a .22 BAC gets behind...

    Sprinter gurus

    Ain't that the truth! I had a problem with my powerstroke making a HUGE sucking sound and not running well until it reached operating temp. I went to a dealership I'd used in the past that had a decent diesel guy. He'd left and they had someone new. A genuine, certified laptop jockey. He said...

    Amish exempted from socialized medicine

    Just wondering, has anyone ever seen an Amish woman that didn't look incredibly angry and miserable? I'm at the WalMart in Coldwater, Mi and there was an Amish family in there last night. The wife had that "I wanna kill something" look on her face. Seems to be the norm with them.

    Shipping-SOPs

    Boy, good luck with that! I find it odd that there doesn't seem to be SOP in corporations with multiple locations. Of course, automotive is the glaring example. Every plant does it differently, even different docks at the same location will be different. It would seem like using some kind of SOP...

    I think it's only truly legit if Glenn cries when he talks about it. Did he cry?

    Million mile mark!

    I'm at about 1.2 mil in expedite. Another mil+ when I was in the semi. So, do we meet at some fancy club where we wear smoking jackets and drink single malt scotch? Btw OVM, sorry I didn't get to spend some time with you in Laredo, it was one of those days that it took forever to get very...

    Please tell me what y'all think about C & M

    We have the bobtail/unladen setup like everyone else has. We're also paying a small share of their liability based on a percentage of the trucks monthly gross revenue. As I understand it, this was implemented a few years back after a premium increase due to claims. The percentage is going down...

    Job Losses Probably Eased in December: U.S. Economy Preview

    When you see words like "probably" and "almost" used, why even pay attention? Put 10 economists in a room and you'll probably get a dozen different opinions on what's gonna happen. I wonder what Larry the Cable Guy thinks?

    sprinter v ford or chevy

    This weekend my son hauled 6400# of batteries in the trusty old E350 w/960+k. Yeah, yeah, I've him that's nuts. He told me earlier in the week he was making a trip, but assured me I wouldn't be getting the "crazy amount of weight" call. Guess he misjudged.
