It only really matters if you want bicyclists and van drivers to log. Because, the reasons for wanting them to log would, in the end, have to be the same, since there is no other justification other than "they could kill someone" for wanting it.

I got stopped last year down in Texas by a local cop, on I-35. He stopped me for going 68 in a 65. No ticket, just a warning. But he was much more interested in the Sprinter than he was in admonishing me for speeding. :D

Yes, the premise sounds entirely reasonable, but when it comes to physics, "All else being equal" doesn't really apply, since "twice as bad" doesn't actually result in twice as severity of injury, twice the number of injuries, or twice the number of fatalities. So clearly, the parameters "all...

The statistics say it is. Not according to the actual accident, injury and fatality statistics. That would be a true statement if the heavier vehicle resulted in more accidents, more injuries or more severe injuries, or more fatalities. But that's not what happens. So saying that a loaded cargo...

I just spent the last 6 weeks west of the Rockies, and did rather well.

"I think it will eliminate the lazy driver who thinks they deserve to be completely unregulated." That's the problem right there. Too many people think drivers are regulated, but it's the vehicle that is regulated, not the driver. The driver is regulated only to the extent of what kind of...

Personally, I'd recommend leaving the alternator in stock condition, and just using a battery separator. But, replacing the plug is fine, just make sure you can easily go back to the stock configuration if troubleshooting vehicle electrical problems becomes an issue.

I meant every word I said, and I stand by the history and science that supports the conclusions. You can call it hogwash if you like, but it won't change the truth. If you can refute anything I said, have at it. Everyone. That includes you. Everyone. Not just in this forum, but everywhere. Everyone.

Year of van, make and model of isolator, please. If you have a 2005 or newer Delphi alternator (may also be labeled Bosch) with the 2-pin terminal connectors, you cannot use an isolator, and must use a battery separator, instead.

Exactly. Obama says they're "amusing", which means he doesn't find them the least bit amusing. What he's doing is exactly the same thing that some people in Web forums do when they can't address the issues, he's going after them personally as a group, because he's got no shot with the issues. If...

I think we know what we're gonna get. From the names being bandied about, like the esteemed governor from Michigan as a serious candidate, we're much better off with Stevens.

I'm still reeling from Pinatubo.

No, I'm not kidding. I'm dead serious. Clearly, many people here would be shocked if they were to know how many expediters die in accidents every year. But we rarely hear about them at all, and we never hear the details. Even the carriers don't let their own people know the details...

We don't even know that for sure.

Be patient, you'll have to wait in line behind the guy you replied to up there. :D

Yeah, whenever I go to bed and want to get all snuggly, I reach for my plastic shower curtain to keep me warm and toasty. :D Reflectix is best when used in an attic and stapled to the frame with 4-6 inches between the Reflectix and the roof. When applied flat, like to the inside of a van, it...

I find it interesting that some here are mad at others because of "rushing to judgment", "assuming" stuff, and "coming to a conclusion," when nothing of the sort actually happened. A question in the form of "just wondered..." was posed, nothing more. Well, except for those who assumed the driver...

Hhhmmm..... bringing something from outside the current thread, into the current thread, to make a point.... I'm just sayin'.

If those aren't the exact words, then they're very likely a close paraphrasing of the words of Chief Sitting Bull. Shawnee Chief Tecumseh is reportedly to have said, "The more things change, the more they stay the same. And not only that, those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Karma...
