    Front License Plate?

    I call my friend who is an MSP CE trooper and she said that tractors need them on the front, the straight trucks and vans go in the back of the truck - Michigan issues one plate and only one plate. The rules of the registering state govern the placement of the plates - not the state where you...

    Rikk 3126 and unable to get parts? Oh you can’t see what we replaced, we threw them out. Well what a crock of BS. If I was in your situation, I would not do anything else and head it over to a cat dealer to let them handle it. I would also get a lawyer for advice about recovering the...

    Pre-trip inspections

    Sorry but my comment will sound cruel. It didn't matter if there was a brake light out or he was moving, the fact is that it was really her fault and she sort of learned a hard lesson - too bad. I can't fault the truck driver because there is something called responsibility, cutting through...

    Miss USA? What's next?

    Ok I think that Trump has moved from serious business and money making to the "are you just a dumb a**?" group. I heard all this stuff about Miss USA and her drinking, drug use and making out with Miss Teen USA and think Mr. Trump just lost it by not kicking her to the curb. She deseves...

    Will extreme cold affect my laptop?

    Yes! If you run the hard drive (which uses liquid bearings for the platter) at very low temps like 20 degrees the chances of a crash is remarkably increased by 1000. I would keep it a decient temp, maybe 50 degrees if possible before starting it up. I let my former boss use the laptop I use for...

    Things I have seen on the road (sort of)

    I got to tell you that many of you have seen more but I am shocked at some of the things I have seen for the month I have been on the road.
