What I find the most funny about all this is, general comments and questions that apply to all expediters often get posted into the FECC Forum, where only FECCers can reply. But here we've got a bona fide rah-rah that gets posted to the General Forum where everyone can reply, and as soon as...

The Michelins are $200 tires. My total bill for four was $818. If you look at tires as merely a consumable, a commodity bought and consumed, used up and discarded, and not an asset to be managed to get the most of your investment, the only think that matters most is how many miles you get on...

Re: ads on lic. plates I have no idea... "The California Legislature is considering a bill that would allow the state to begin researching the use of electronic license plates for vehicles. ...The DMV would be required to submit its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by Jan. 1...

Honestly, I wouldn't call 86,000 miles bad for 80,000 mile tires. :)

Sprinter, Michelin. Rotate roughly every 50,000 miles. I could get 150,000 or more out of them, but I'm a tread junkie, want at least 6/32 everywhere, and will absolutely replace all of them if one gets to 4/32 anywhere. So, I've replaced them at 120,000 to 130,000. I've got 78,000 miles on...

Re: ads on lic. plates I can see this happening. :D Jailbreak your license plate. $19.95. Text 'Plate' to 55555 and follow this car for 60 seconds. Safety isn't as big an issue as it might seem. No ads when the vehicle is moving, just the license plate number will be visible on the plate.

That's fine, but just so you know, when you do that, someone in the office has to actually print those out, and then re-scan them into the Transflo system in order to get them into the system, same as you would in the truck using the Transflo software, or at a truck stop using Transflo or...

I dunno. This is just the first time a state has enacted their own law, so Obama is just the first one with the opportunity. In 2005 there were more killings along the Mexican-American border than any other year before or since (with the exception of the Mexican-American War, of course). I...

If it's more than 1000 pounds, and thus placardable, yes.

Just gave yourself away there, didn'tcha, Doug. :eek:

The problem is, Junior had the same position on the border. So did Clinton, and Senior, and Reagan, and Carter, and Ford, and Nixon, and Johnson. In the twelve years of Reagan and Senior, an estimated 8.7 million illegals crossed the border between the US and Mexico. In Clinton's eight years...

Every religion emphasizes human well being, human improvement, love, respect for others, sharing other people's suffering. Along these lines every religion has more or less the same viewpoint and the same goal. The problems begin when someone who thinks they know better takes the religion and...

I've spent nearly my entire life studying religions, individually and comparatively. It's all part of my study of social science, human nature, the study of what makes people tick. It's not so much that man has hijacked religion for use as a weapon, but rather religion was invented as a means of...

When you see an Exxon tanker go to an Exxon gas station to deliver fuel, and then leave and go to Bubba's Cheap Fuel and put the same fuel in those tanks, you'll understand. When you go to a refinery and see two Exxon, four Shell, three Texaco and 17 no-name fuel tankers all lined up to the...

If the court rules with the DOJ in that it's a tax, then the mandate will be challenged in court on the basis that it violates the Interstate Commerce Clause, which a tax violates under the constitutional provision "no tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State." On a side...

Yes you will...

Just click the link and read it. It's funny. There's really nothing to apologize for, tho. My point is that it's perfectly natural to deride or make fun of our enemies, or those who are different from us. I think it's also important, very important, to learn to laugh at ourselves. If you...

It's always been in style to make fun of religious beliefs, and it always will be. You yourself have made fun of Muslim beliefs on at least one occasion here on EO. What's up with that? Of course, it's perfectly fine to make fun of someone else's religion, they just can't make fun of yours is...

Why wouldn't you post a joke involving race? Are all jokes that involve race offensive? Why wouldn't you post a joke about sexual preference? Are all jokes involving sexual preference offensive? Are all jokes involving religion offensive? Even the ones you think are funny? Are you really...
