Best argument for AAA I know of.

A taxi brings with it a very different risk than an expedited cargo van. Not only is transporting people a higher risk, but the nature of the travel in city traffic with a taxi is very different than primarily highway miles in expediting. There are simply more opportunities in situations where...

That comment was really more for Shelly's benefit. :D But no, not really. Casinos, gentleman's clubs - I don't do either, for the same reasons. Both promise big things, as long as you as you keep throwing money at them. They might even let you get a little lucky once in a while, just to keep...

Insurance companies know exactly what the risk is. Risk is a quantifiable thing based on accidents and claims, and an individual driver's history (moving violations, accidents, etc.). It's also quantified by the cost of those big buildings they occupy, the salaries of the people within them, and...

Actually it applies to Europe, not the US and Canada. The phone number 112 is used as a global emergency phone number in a number of countries, primarily in the European Union. In some parts of the United States a call to 112 will roll over to the local 911 system (but only if dialed on a...

Yeah. H7-55W for low and H1-55W for high/fog I'm still on my original H1 high beam lights, and turn signals.

Why? Like I said, I look forward to hearing your experiences with it. I'm sure others are, too. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

From Sylvania: SilverStar® ULTRA bulbs provide up to 40% increased down road visibility, up to 50% increased side road visibility and up to 50% brighter light, compared to worn standard bulbs. SYLVANIA SilverStar ULTRA bulbs deliver the whitest and brightest light of all the SYLVANIA...

I use the Silverstar Ultra lights. They're the brightest you can get other than HID lights. The tradeoff is they don't last a long, but it only takes like 2 minutes to change a bulb, so I don't care. Id rather have brighter than longer lasting, especially since Sylvania has a one year warranty...

The Reflectix is sturdy enough. It's not as rigid as cardboard, but it'll do. The sun visor will definitely hold it in place. The tighter you can get it, the better, or course, so that you don't get a lot of thermal heat caught between the window and the Reflectix seeping into the van. Some use...

I've got the slope of my Sprinter insulated with this stuff: Window Insulation Kit. I've just got it glued right to the surface with Loctite Power Grab Construction Adhesive. It's designed to cut it yourself, sew on edging to prevent fraying, add grommets and the supplied suction cups, for...

Of course the R-value can be figured. Saying, "the only way to measure R value is by thickness," indicates you've read, closely, the information on Nansulate's Web site, because that's the position they (and all the other insulating paint peddlers) are sticking to. They want to avoid mentioning...

When it comes to testing and evaluating the properties and performance of insulation, the most anal of the anal is the Cold Climate Housing Research Center in Ankorage, AK. They put Nansulate ( Nanotherm, and it's sister product Super Therm) through the ringer, and both came out smelling like...

It's a tradition that started with the horse and buggy processionals. It's a tradition that lingers in some areas. I'm not aware of any state with a law that says you are to pull over to allow a funeral procession to pass. In most states you'll get a ticket if you cut into one or cut across one...

re·li·gion noun 1. a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human...

Turn the volume down and ignore it. :D

Welcome to the Gallows :D

A Garmin is a dedicated GPS receiver and as such is not designed to be turned off. In fact, it would be useless as a GPS receiver if it can't receive GPS signals. DeLorme is a software map making program that also supports a GPS receiver. You can buy DeLorme with and without the receiver. You...

You don't see very many straights and tractors in expediting doing the multi-carrier model. At least not without having their own authority, which is what's happening in general trucking. It's the vans running under a multi-carrier model authority with too little insurance that's the new thing...

I've spoken with Garmin customer service several times and have had no problems with them other than the one time there was an hour wait on the phone to get through. I was with Panther at the time so I didn't even notice that it was a long wait. You're right about one thing, though, they have...
