It's not a silly phobia of mine. My comment was a satirical commentary on the phobia of others. A phobia is a persistent, irrational of something, a fear so powerful that it causes one with the phobia to avoid it (see above). Since I have a Sprinter, and you know that, I'm not sure what the...

15 yards for introducing politics into a thread about Sprinters.

You may not care, and that's fine, but a lot of people do care. People used to have an expectation of privacy on the Internet, and they actually had it. Then, those who found out you can make money by invading privacy, and most governments, ruined it. If you know the steps to take, you can still...

Sprinters scare me. I'm afraid of them.

Here's a good rundown of the service: Republic Wireless offers unlimited everything for $19 a month, but is it too good to be true? | Android Central

Yeah, and it belongs to Facebook. Facebook, Google, lots of them are watching, and tracking. As bad as Google is, though, it doesn't hold a candle to Facebook, simply because of Facebook's stated goals and the way they go about achieving them.

The "Like" button. We all like the ""Like" button. What do all these "Likes" mean, anyway? What is it, exactly? "they are just a way to show that someone likes what you say, or agrees with it. just a fun thing to do. kind of like facebook. its just fun to do. when people like my posts it...

"EcoBoost" is a fancy name for "TurboCharger"

That's pretty funny. :D The load that got me from Del Rio to the yard was one skid. Interestingly enough, the load that got me to San Antonio was a 3-skid load. An unmotivated dispatcher wouldn't have bothered to find out if they were stackable, and would have seen three skids and simply...

Based on this past week, there's no doubt in my mind that, when properly motivated, dispatch can find all kinds of loads for two-skid Sprinters. :D I thought I was gonna be left to rot in San Antonio. Newp, got me right out 24 hours later. Rotted most of the rest of the week in Detroit, tho...

And now, you're moment of zen.

From what I understand, and from my own limited experience with them (MB of Novi), most Mercedes dealers will do you right. They're expensive to be sure, but highly experienced and competent when it comes to Mercedes engines and other issues with Sprinters. I've found Freightliner dealers, and a...

I've never been to Stoops, so I can't really comment on them. I think the history of comments here from others says quite a lot, though. But I've been to three Freightliner dealers with my Sprinter, and all three have left significant negative impressions on me.

This started out as a reply in another thread, but as I began to write, it became something else. So I leave it here for your consideration and random pondering. Unfortunately (or fortunately, as the case may be), I don't do Facebook. Their (Mark Zuckerberg's) position on privacy and security...

And it's the lamest name ever. A123 Systems, the Obama-bailed-out but still failed battery maker, making batteries for Fisker Automotive and others, located in Livonia, Romulus and Ann Arbor, and bought out by Wanxiang North America, has changed their name from A123 to B456. What a hoot. :D

Glow plugs are $25.60 a pop and take maybe an hour to change out all six of them. Andy Bittenbinder in Pittsburgh invented the removal tools for broken glow plugs and for Black Death injectors. Obviously, he has the tool. So does Wayne in Toledo. You can also rent the removal tool from...

My current version of Android on the phone is 4.0.4 My current version of PDANet on the phone is 4.01 My current phone is a Motorola Droid Bionic, which won't get the Jelly Bean update until sometime in April, May or June. If your phone gets updated to Android 4.1 or later, PDANet doesn't work.

Do you have the Hotspot box checked in the phone's settings? Not the app, but the settings for the phone? If so, uncheck that to turn the hotspot off. That whole "Checking subscription" thing is for the built-in Hotspot on the phone.

What did she say when you walked into her? A wacka wacka.
