    Mexican Drivers and Trucks

    Newbie needs advice

    Thanks for the intro Moot. Terry has it bout right.. Vans are at the bottom of the food chain to understand this is important to the vanner. However the Sprinter has created a new species to the chain. We cannibalize off the C's & D's more then the vans. There is a growing market somewhat for...

    Michigan, what a state!

    greg said "You do know that the reason they have reset all the lights and raised the speed limits was not because the people wanted it but to use more fuel so to collect more taxes, could it be true?" That would be the most childish and most immoral action they could take if true.

    TOYOTA VS GENERAL MOTORS

    Greg is right...nothing builds a country better then a good old fashion war...Iraq sorry to say is NOT a full blown war more a police action and does little for our economy... Look at history and correlate the economies after and during a Great War.

    Michigan, what a state!

    That is screwed up... Michigan being a water state you'd think marina fees would be taxed. With some of the roads being so bad you'd think auto repairs would also be taxed...these 2 alone would generate alot of income for the state. They've taxed alot of stuff that creates small...

    Sometimes I think I outsmart myself thinking where freight is available and move when I shouldn't and stay when I don't. When your new things just happen for no rhyme or reason. You can do chart and graphs all you want, but good ole fashion luck figures in more times then not. But knowing where...
