    I don't think the press should be on the frontlines with the troops. They serve no good purpose other then to detract from the mission. Troops are distracted by them and getting killed or injured to protect them. Some would say it's the freedom of the press BUT the U.S. constitution does not...

    Mexican Trucks

    I am imaging a large western Mexican seaport rising up and Walmart and the big importers and even the foreign automakers directing the cargo ships there thus avoiding the longshoremens union in Cali and trucking it up to the U.S. and even Canada.

    The bulbs are a standard H7 type and available almost evrywhere. We buy them by the pair. Seems more prudent that way. Your oil filters are also available at Autozone. Anout 11-12 bucks Fuel filters Dealer parts. My technician gave this reason for premature failure: We do alot of nighttime...

    American Built....

    Hino IS owned by Toyota.... The Canadian workforce is more productive then it's U.S counterpart. Therefore cheaper to build. Hence the UAW had better smarten up and earn thier union dues from hard working members. The good workers deserve better.
