    If you had a wish?

    Who would I want to be or do? Hmmm... I'm with Terry on this, but I would want to go a couple of hundred years ahead. As for the who I'd do part, I'll stay in the present day. The names that come to mind would probably be obvious to most.

    Diesel cargo Van VS Gas cargo Van.

    If you search back in the archives you'll find that this has been discussed many times. It's an issue that people go either way on. There is no clear cut answer.

    buying freightliner with 250 hp mercedes engine

    RE: buying freightliner with 250 hp mercedes engin I only have 16,500 miles on mine, so I can't say much about reliability. The horsepower is adequate, but you will wish you had more on the real big hills. I'm getting 10 mpg.

    What's the greatest guitar solo of all time?

    The solo from "Highway Star" placed well in the recent Rolling Stone list. I think it made top 10, if not, it was close. Machine Head was a great album.(For you youngsters out there, albums were a large, round, pressed vinyl disc.) I probably wore out 3 or 4 8-track copies.(8-tracks were a...

    Alumi-Bunk Sleeper Questions.

    It depends on your inverter. I have a Magnum Energy inverter that charges the batteries when plugged into shore power. It has a 4 stage charger that goes from a heavy charge to just keeping the batteries topped off. This is on a Bentz sleeper.

    Degussa considering biodiesel catalyst plant in Al

    RE: Degussa considering biodiesel catalyst plant i I don't think I can say it and wonder why I would ever need to. Hmmm... "I'd like to go have a couple of beers with you guys, but I haven't finished my (that word)." "We're really worried about Great-aunt Mabel's (that word)." "Jennifer's...

    Fuel economy

    '07 M2, 250 MBE, 6 speed MBE auto-shift. The Freightliner computer says it was getting 10mpg with 6500 miles on the clock. At around 4k I checked it and got 8.75. That was with some generator use and going back and forth on I-80 through Pa.

    Never liked Imus but give me a friggin break

    Did anyone hear what Snoop Dog had to say? What the rappers are doing is fine because the women they're talking about are "hoes". Imus, however, was wrong to pick on women that are educating themselves and excelling at a high athletic level.

    Katie needs to go

    Letsrock, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. But, let's look at your example of the inner city. Let's say the the story is about the state of families in the inner city. The story would, no doubt, mention the high percentage of fatherless homes and the high number of homes with several...

    Katie needs to go

    Letsrock, can you cite a specific example of something Paul Harvey has said that shows racism? I've been listening to him for more than 25 years and I've never heard anything of that nature. Senile? Far from it. For a guy that's pushing 90, I think he does a great job.

    FINALLY good news for the next election

    I recently heard some pundit, can't remember who, question his dedication, bouncing back and forth between politics and acting. How can this not be a good thing? It shows the man isn't desperate to be in Washington. I think that's a good thing. I don't know much about him, but I like what I've seen.

    Does a candidate need....

    I don't think McCain earned any new fans with his 60 Minutes appearance last night, in which he casually dismissed lying by saying it's happened before and will happen again. Oh yeah, he called it mis-speaking. I guess that makes it O.K. A good politician should be able to come up with better...

    Zach Johnson wins the Masters ?

    Some of the world's top golfers have buckled under the pressure of having Tiger breathing down their necks. This kid just played his game. Tiger had some problems, but he's won before under such circumstances. So, it will be interesting to see where Zach goes from here. Does he fade into the...
