If it works, GO FOR IT! Take care of that "slop bucket", run your business right, and one can do as good as a sprinter once the bottom line is figured. It is all a matter of choice.

Correct, and every time the info gathering gets deeper it gets more dangerous.

What do they cost now? How does that cost compare to other comparable vehicles? How do the repair costs compare? Is it possible to get the same, or more, miles out of another vehicle that may cost less? I just think that the sprinter is only one option out there. It may, or may not, better...

Nope, which is EXACTLY why if I ever decide to look for new truck I would look at other than Freightliner first. I can say that my MB engine, a knock off of a Detroit Diesel, has been good so far. So has the transmission. It is the "truck" part that is a pain in the neck. I would look at...

Wake up on the wrong side of the shell this morning? Bit short on the humor side of life? I was NOT being serious. GEEZ, touchy, touchy! I was not trying to derail anything, this ain't even a train. Yeah, I know you drive a sprinter. I saw people expressing valid interest in the possible...

Just friendly advice. I would hate to see someone's life messed up by a silly phobia like yours!

People should be concerned about the lack of privacy, both on the internet and in ever day life. They should be concerned whether the intrusions are from industry looking to make money, or government seeking to find who knows what or for what reasons. The more privacy we give up the less...

You can get help for phobias. Just be careful how you go about it. Some may consider a sprinter phobia enough of a mental illness to take away your right to own a gun.

Well, they CLAIM to be a premium vehicle. I would not consider a vehicle that needs it's butt kissed on a regular basis to keep it running, premium. There is a HUGE difference from needing proper service and coddling. If one wants to expedite, buy a truck. Trucks should be tough, reliable and...

Who expedites with a Jag? :confused: When I buy a work truck I expect to get a work engine. The design should allow for simple maintenance. I don't want a "picky" truck. I expect it to start when I want it to. When I need an oil change I don't need to go to a doctor, just a shop. Solid...

This is how tin horn, twerp dictators act. They MUST control EVERYTHING! Body fat is a commodity. It is stored energy. Find a way to harvest it, burn it, make electricity out of it. Solves several problems. Us fat guys are saving the world and we can make money off our eating. WOW! :cool:

Candice Miller did a wonderful job bringing the Secretary of State office into the 20th century and beyond. She did it in a very non-partisan manner. She had broad support for her efforts. She ground no axes, pushed no agendas. All she did was modernize, streamline and put the customer first...

That is one thing that Michigan is doing right. The Secretary of State is very well run. We get our new license within a week, no longer than ten days. The temp used while the new one arrives is good for 30 days.

There will be no change, no big audit, not as long as the federal government is involved. The ONLY way things will ever change is for each school district to set their own standards, curriculum according to the standards and belief systems of the community, and to provide 100% of the fund and...

All true. I will put it this way, as long as our situation remains the same we could do away with hauling hazmat and never miss it. That may some day change. Hazmat still often comes with hassles so the "hassle factor" must be included when making a determination whether or not a load is worth...

Keep it simple. Hauling placarded hazmat? Stop at all scales. There can then be no questions or mistakes. We don't haul much hazmat, it is less than 1% of our work and I intend to keep it that way. It does not pay all that well to begin with and when you add in all the hassles that come with it...

"But if one of you were to become disabled you'd be amazed at how fast your attitude will change towards your fellow disabled Americans." No one is talking about those who really need help, although I still contend that disability is not a federal government function. We are talking about all...

Any wonder we have so many problems? What do people expect? We, as a nation, accept and even admire sleaze. Bill Clinton is a good example, not to mention all the scuz we see in the entertainment and sports worlds. Our kids see that working hard and playing by the rules gets nothing, that the...

Few soldiers are.

Oh, I know that. These programs are nothing more than MASSIVE boondogels. They just arrested a bunch of people in the Detroit area who were scamming millions out of the federal college loan programs. When the government gets involved, we get it stuck in our ears. The government is a total joke...
