Synthetic oil doesn't cause oil leaks. Oil leaks are caused by bad or deteriorated seals and gaskets. Synthetic oil will not deteriorate seals and gaskets. Often, people with high mileage vehicles switch to synthetic oil and then develop an oil leak and they make the connection to the synthetic...

I tagged my Sprinter the same way I did my cargo van. Both are tricky. First you have to bring the vehicle down to a stop. Usually, one well-placed tranq dart in the hip or shoulder does the job, but sometimes two are needed. Once subdued, you have to work quickly. Several methods are available...

I dunno, is it all that apparent? "...make a sudden lane change in order to avoid a car that had made an unexpected turn," sure sounds like Festa was following too closely, if anything, and had to suddenly change lanes because the car in front of slowed down too quickly for Festa to properly...

OK, first off, the next time you release a "press release," hire a proofreader before you release it. "The site will be shut down after this year's Expedite Expo because there is no one who can run the site without something negative being said." In addition, spelling and grammar aside, the...

"It's a forum, sharing and learning is the idea behind it and as long as a person gets their point across I'm good with it." It's known as the "singular their" and along with the pronomimal generic masculine (his) has been in widespread use since the last 1300's. The alternative in the above...

I drive for me.

Two big things here. One, you won't be hired, you'll be leased on. You will not be an employee, you will be an independent contractor. The mentality is very different between the two. The other thing is, going from a team company truck to team expediting is as different as night and day. In...

Donner's Pass on I-80 in California is closed an average of 17 days a year. I-40 between Santa Rosa and Albuquerque in New Mexico is closed an average of 11 days a year. The Interstates out west and in the central and northern plains are closed so frequently that there are permanent gates...

There won't likely be an election held too early, for one thing. For another, the reason they are broad and deep (which is not the same thing as having widespread support, per se, for leadership) is because they are moderate and centrist. Just because they have "Muslim" in their name doesn't...

All those forgotten presidents.... what were they the president of? It certainly wasn't the United States of America. ;) The presidents before Washington were actually presidents of the Continental Congress which was designated by the Articles of Confederation. We weren't even a nation then...

There is nothing omniscient about my statement. Whether it is a reassurance is open to debate. I only caution that steadfast prejudices and uninformed fears and conclusions should be adjusted according to what is actually happening in Egypt, and not to rely on the old rules on this one, because...

It's ironic that the group in Egypt who is talking the most and the loudest about having a transfer of power done in an orderly fashion within the bounds of the Constitution is, ta-da, the Muslim Brotherhood. How can that be? Because, you know, all Muslims are bad.

Well, I guess you'd have to first define what a "true" democracy is, since all forms of Democracy are true democracies. Sounds like you're describing a Direct Democracy, where it's a strict majority rule on everything. And it is indeed a substantial difference from both a Representative...

Well, without the fix, you lost access to broadcast television. The cost of the fix doesn't really matter, really. That a fix was required is what matters. The cost of the fix for GPS is wholly unknown at this point, since it isn't even known if a fix will be required. The approval for the new...

I like the ones who think a Representative Republic isn't a form of Democracy. You know, the ones who say we don't live in a Democracy, even though we do. They don't understand the differences between a Consensus Democracy, a Direct Democracy, and a Representative Democracy, and don't understand...

The loss of access is... unless you upgrade your TV to receive digital signals, you lose 100% access to broadcast television, since they now broadcast only in digital format. A television must have a digital tuner in order to receive over-the-air television broadcasts, and if you have an older...
