    Why do people post thread after thread blaming the American people?

    They didn't keep up with their mortgage payments, that's the problem. Or when they did they were playing a shell game, with the government moving the shells. Those that stayed current did so because the same preferential treatment that allowed them to get the loan in the first place also allowed...

    Watch "Charlie Brooker's How to Report the News"

    Spot on. :D His analysis of Fox News is also pretty accurate. And his comparison of British and American TV news is hilarious.

    Birthday! Happy Birthday Davekc

    The first three posts in this thread consists of one picture each, which is incredibly not-complicated. Yours was three lines, two of which needlessly complicated your simple one-line message, and takes the thread off-topic.

    More than likely it's the compressor wanting more power to start than normal. The compressor induction motor may be wearing out, or need oiled, cause it to draw more amps than previously.

    The Global Warming Hoax.

    I'm all for bashing women. Women bash men all the time. It's the new pastime for women. It's hard to find a sitcom on television where the woman isn't presented as, like, totally together, and the man is presented as a bumbling fool who can't even pick the right shirt out of his closet to wear...

    Why do people post thread after thread blaming the American people?

    Well, you could argue it, but you'll lose. What subdued risky sub-prime mortgages was the financial meltdown. And it was Clinton who did the most to increase low income home ownership. It began with the ultimate feel-good legislation, the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, which Jimmy Cater...

    Do cargo vans even have any sort of future in expediting?

    What you describe as a "hillbilly APU setup" is also the exact description of an RV conversion.

    happy july.

    Tell them it's all trash from Ontario. They'll come get it. Last time I moved we threw away a lot of stuff. I loaded up the van and took it to the city dump (technically, a transfer Station, because it goes from there to a landfill somewhere far, far away (probably Michigan)). They weighed me...

    Why do people post thread after thread blaming the American people?

    Don't be so quick to forget that the financial meltdown was made possible, and prodded along, by Barney Frank and his esteemed colleagues who set the rules for Wall Street, and on Clinton when he ensured that the chicken in every pot would be on a stove within the home you own, whether you could...

    Do cargo vans even have any sort of future in expediting?

    It just eats away at them, seething like a cauldron of the soul, like the first born child getting harshly punished for the least little things while their younger siblings get away with everything, it drives them crazy that we don't have to log and scale, that we can pick and choose when we...

    20% off sale all weekend

    I am personally (or is it deeply? I forget) offended by the pre-MY80 die cast Sprinter being classified as a lowly cargo van. And they're only five bucks?!?! What's up with that?

    Do cargo vans even have any sort of future in expediting?

    Oh, I know. My comments were sarcasm, in response to the notion that solo straights are soon to be a thing of the past. It's not like now, all of a sudden, dispatchers are for the first time having to deal with solos in straights and HoS.

    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    Yeah, I bought a spare. For $5 I might a well. Thanks for the offer of help. I was broke down right on the SC/NC line on Hwy 25, about 30 miles south of Asheville. Went a few miles up into Henderson to get the part.

    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    Thought about Lowes, actually. But O'Reilly Auto Parts had exactly what I needed. Same part. It's made by Gates. $4.39. Was towed to O'Reilly, took 10 or 15 minutes to change it out, dumped a couple of gallons of coolant in, and back on the road.

    The Global Warming Hoax.

    You, uhm, prolly ought to do some research on acid rain. It's the primary cause of erosion of steel structures like bridges. It causes paint to peel, and kills plants and fish.

    Actually it's a connector off a Ford.

    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    I'm broken down right now. It's awesome. The heater hose above the engine, near the hot water heater valve, they're is a non - standard plastic "T" connector in the hose. A couple or three years ago we couldn't get the correct length of hose so the mechanic went with two hoses and the...
