    Nissan NV Cargo Van

    Indeed. I gotta stop for fuel every 250 miles. Well, that's because I don't let it go empty, otherwise with a full tank it goes a little over 400 miles.

    Nissan NV Cargo Van

    You'll get 20+ mpg only with strong wind from behind! Usually I get 16 mpg. It's a comfortable ride, but the cargo area stinks. No room at all.

    Samsung phone

    I got a Galaxy 3, but with T-Mobile. It will be more expensive with Verizon, but the 4G coverage is the best so far.

    Pilot/J accused of rebate fraud, Millions of $

    Got that burner too, since November '97. Originally I bought it for heating, I met an old guy in the parking lot at Meijer, and he recommended it for heating, he was using one. I tried, but I didn't like the smell, so since then I'm using it for what it was designed for! Hey, I do eggs too, but...

    I don't nuke it, I boil it. For coffee, tea or soup. And I use Dasani only.

    Let's Compare Phone Plans, Shall we?

    If I stated that Verizon has a better coverage than T-Mobile, it doesn't mean they're better. They cover some areas where we, the expediters, don't wait for a load. For example, would you stay somewhere between Van Horn, TX and Pecos, TX? I doubt you would... Another thing that I consider...

    New guy, old topic

    Don't rush yourself to buy a new van. First check with the carriers and see if they accept you (due to the mentioned background), and if they say you're ok, buy a used van, I'd say a 3-4 yrs old van. Some companies don't care about the van's age. A new van means another monthly payment for you...

    Re: Verizon Carrier Discount Change - Panther I use T-Mobile, maybe their coverage isn't as good as Verizon's, but the price it is. Til last Monday I was paying $100/mo for everything unlimited. Since Monday I switched to their new family plan, which doesn't require a contract, so now I pay $90...
