    You call him a worthless entertainer. He's worth whatever a company is willing to pay him. Apparently that's in the $100 million a year range.

    What part of the country would you buy a used van from?

    Just starting to look around, probably won't pick one up for a month or so. Used anything is much cheaper in the states than Ontario, and without the salt is a bonus. I saw a used Express in Oklahoma that looks decent. If I can start out those 3 more years with a clean van, all the better in my...

    What part of the country would you buy a used van from?

    All other things being equal (mileage, service history etc.), what climate do you think is best to buy a 5 yr old van from? Is Florida too extreme on the drivetrain, or does the usually clean body and undercarriage make up for that in your eyes? Just looking for some ideas. Thanks. *edit to...

    Check engine light off

    They seem to be "emissions" related in most cars. It's been on for 3 yrs in my Cobalt after having reset it once. 220k miles and still averages 37 mpg. Posted with my iPhone EO Forum App

    Ford’s Most Advanced Assembly Plant (Rural Brazil)

    Taking that even further, the Toyota plant here cross trains their skilled trades people ie: an electrician is sent to the local college to be trained as a millwright, stuff like that. I was impressed with the knowledge these guys had. Posted with my iPhone EO Forum App

    Ford’s Most Advanced Assembly Plant (Rural Brazil)

    Having worked 4 yrs at Toyota up here, that plant seems pretty similar. The only real differences I see is the greater use of robotics (which the Japanese assembly plants don't embrace for some reason), and the slower pace. And yes, 4 yrs. was plenty enough for me. :D

    The sweet smell of cooked bearings and belts

    My bad I probably should have done it last month when I had the rad and water pump replaced (around 250k). Posted with my iPhone EO Forum App

    Best motor for c/v for expediting?

    I kinda like that the Duramax is turned back to 250hp in the vans. Still plenty of torque and I would think that the mild tuning would lend itself well to long life? Posted with my iPhone EO Forum App

    The sweet smell of cooked bearings and belts

    The ac idler pulley on my Express van seized last night with not much warning. A short period of the bearing getting noisier was followed by it seizing up and I limped to a garage last night. Is there anything I should have been on the look out for? I wouldn't think there's any preventive...
