Turtle's comment "They are now being produced by Chery in China" relates to a vehicle that will be marketed here. Just to remind everyone that Chrysler is a foreign car company that has 0% loyaty to the US. $100K for a buyout? they should get what I got - 6 months wages without overtime and...

Chrysler to offer workers up to $100K - AP DETROIT - Chrysler Group will offer all 49,600 hourly workers in the U.S. up to $100,000 to leave the company as part of a recovery plan announced earlier this month. The company, which lost $1.475 billion in 2006 and said it expects losses to continue...

FYI, They do make an on demand water heater that draws 40 amps when you use it. If I remember right the unit is around $75 and it is about half the size of a shoe box. I lost the link but I am trying to find it and post it.

Looney, I won’t ridicule you but I am going to be very honest, if you are having such a problem with the van at a ¼ of the estimated payments and a third of the operating cost, you will definitely have a problem with a straight truck. Ok I looked at your info and puzzled. First thing is...

It may be better than it was, but I know a lot of situations don't have positive outcomes at the VA. Since they moved the Detroit area VA from Allen Park to Detroit (can't figure out why the location was selected in the slums but hey it is political) the care has improved a lot but you got to...

arkjarhead I got to say that this is something that I can't stand, reporters who are treated as heros. Reports have no allegence to the United States, if they did we would hear better news about the work that is being done. In this case he got a lot of 'preferetial' treatment by airlifting...

Turtle, I should have added the branding thing, but didn’t think of it. I have seen only a couple trucks outside of white driving with the FedEx logos on them. Turtle, did you work for the same company I did? I had to go through a few brand training sessions (that made more sense than the...

From experience, when we ordered cars/pickups for the lab, the price for a vehicle other than white was increased substantly enough to just order white. I was told that fleet vehicles are more or less ordered as a standard package and white was the easiest and cheapest color for company to...

The engines don't always get replaced but the entire vehicle is scrapped. I was talking to someone yesterday about buying a japanese Suzuki pickup truck and he mentioned that the reason he gets them so cheap is the taxes on older commercial vehicles.

What bothers me about this most of all is the comment Tutle made; "I know all of the Mexican drivers are supposed to be able to speak and read English," I think he has brought up an important point. What level of english do they need to have to drive here? Is it something like being able to...

A rather dumb question, what tempeture are you seeing out of the tap for hot water?

Reading Brinksmanship at Airbus, http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/02/brinksmanship_at_airbus.html This makes me proud that I live here. I mean that we are one of, if not the most productive country in the world, we have some of the most successful companies in the world because...

OK? I applied for a job at Ford a long time ago to be an american gopher for the excutive staff in south america. I went through the interview process and was to go down to Brazil to the final interview but when they gave me the 'package' of forms to be filled out, one thing was the K&R...

Thanks guys. The VA is a perfect example of what we will face. There was a movie about the VA made in 70's - can't remember the name of it or who was in it but it was a perfect illustration of the problem with universal health care that we will face. But my point fosuses on this comment...

What is wrong with this statement? General Motors estimates that its health care costs add $1,500 to the price of a car - a cost foreign rivals don't have to pay because their health care is funded though government. At home, meanwhile, health care inflation is not just crimping profits; it's...

NO I menAnt MEsa?

arkjarhead Sorry, I should have explained it. Exclusive use is when a carrier provides a truck (van) to a company to move an item and that truck (van) will only go from Point A to Point B without stopping to pick up or drop off another company's items. For example I had a hard drive (yes a...

arkjarhead, nope that is not what is meant by exclusive use but I see what you are driving at. >>expedite is exclusive vehicle use. I question this specific definition because of operating practices with some companies allow multiple pickups and delvieries made on behalf of more than one...

Tallcal, I Think you should come on over to the east side and meet some of us. If you do decide to go, I will try to get there this year to buy you a cup of coffee and I will even make sure it is earth freindly.

OVM said “I guess you'll never get to see England either even the bobbies(cops) don't wear guns there.†Well they do have guns and have used them. England has been silent on their crime problems, especially the gun crimes that seem to be excluded from the press. The biggest thing that they...
