    Is a tip a learners permit? If so, you'd probably have to be on the bottom line.

    Motocross

    With Villopoto out for the season with a knee, Stewart only running selected events, Reed not seeming to be able to sprint in the early laps, (European motocross being different than here in the U.S.), is anyone truly gonna care this year? Does Allesi actually have any fans after the incredible...

    As GM goes so goes America

    It is sad to see what's happened to GM. Gm was seen as a corporation that would always be there, without question. That complacency had to be a big factor in all this. While a business certainly has to watch it's bottom line, quality can't be sacrificed. When appealing to American's patriotism...

    idling

    The Espar heater will run on gas or diesel and uses a tiny fraction of what you'd use idling. There are also 12 volt, roof mounted A/C units available.

    It can be done in a '67 VW Beetle, so why not this?

    Missing the Point on Speed limiters

    Turtle, how was operating a motor vehicle ever a right? There's no such reference in the Bill of Rights. A person can travel freely without driving.

    Missing the Point on Speed limiters

    When I say it's been successful, I'm just basing that on my own observations. I started trucking in '76, well before drug testing and I just don't see drivers looking "pilled up" anymore. At the very least, it's not the common sight that it used to be. I do agree that it's an unreasonable search...

    Missing the Point on Speed limiters

    The thing about drug testing, it really has been a success. Not a complete success, but compared to the way things were prior to testing, the industry has been cleaned up quite a bit. I wish there were a better way to do it. It certainly is an imposition on decent people. But, that's the same...

    Missing the Point on Speed limiters

    Even if it does come to pass in the U.S., it's no more a violation of our civil rights than any other regulation we have to follow. Laws that limit how much we can work, having to get physical examinations, drug testing policies, random vehicle inspections... I guess I'm being redundant after...

    Canada best cargo van, Ford or GM, Diesel or gas

    I ran a '99 E-350 with a 7.3 for over 8 years. I would disagree with Dakota about the front end issues. My tires always wore very well, close to 200k on a set, and it only had 2 alignments. Based on my conversations with others, I don't think my experience was an exception. I do agree that you...

    RoadCheck 2009 ,June 2-4 !

    Recommendations? Easy, just have all your ducks in a row. My most recent DOT was last week in Virginia. I had a DOT during the blitz last year in Texas. In both cases, inspection was done, sticker was put on the windshield and I went about my business. No difference between the two. The only...

    Busy? - You bet!

    Something that makes me question his claim to have been a State Trooper, and Rodeehoos, this goes to some of the history that was mentioned with this guy, is his seeming lack of ability to control his emotions. Aren't Troopers trained to remain even tempered? Ever since he's been on EO he's been...

    Unbelievable! It really can happen . . .

    I think we just found the funding for the next EO Productions project. I want a bigger trailer!
