    Do you know your cars?

    I got 16. I was particularly proud of getting BMW right. I was expecting to see Bavarian Motor Works. I guess that year of German in high school paid off.

    Changing to cargo van, have questions

    Wouldn't that be to satisfy the insurance company? I don't think it's legally required as they aren't commercial vehicles. There are small companies that don't require that or a DOT on the van.

    Just like the Energizer Bunny

    Are you changing the filter in the trans? I did filter and fluid changes in my E350 and still had to rebuild at 490k.

    questions

    As the Mootster says, same deal. Put the freight in the truck, take it to the consignee. The difference you seem to be talking about is getting your own authority. OOIDA would be a good place to go to get an idea of what's involved in that.

    free membership solution

    So, all someone has to do is Photoshop a bunch of "CDLs" and they're good to go with multiple screen names. It would appear the only solution is the status quo.

    Paid memberships

    Hmmm... I was in favor of the paid membership, but now you have me rethinking it, Greg. The enjoyment I get from EO would be worth a couple of bucks. But, I wonder if someone with an ax to grind would be put off by 25 or 50 bucks?

    Banned Member Reaches A New Low....

    What's wrong with those e-mail providers? I use Hotmail and it's the only one I have. I believed it right up to Doggie's post. It's fair to say that Layout's a man who's very passionate about his beliefs. Especially where the military is concerned.

    unusual things a gps says to you

    No, it's not worth the money. As these things evolve you'd think they'd do less stupid crap. But, this thing does way more dumb things than my 330 did. Here's another recent one. I'm leaving GM metalfab in Indy. You go south, make a right then a quick left and you're at I70. The 465 has me go...

    unusual things a gps says to you

    I'm sitting @ the Laredo J and my pickup is off the Bullock about a mile east of 35. The trusty 465 wants me to go north on 35, turn around and go back to the Bullock. When I head south, it resets and wants me to turn around at Carrier and still go north. LOL... Gotta love it!

    steer tire mileage

    I replaced the factory Good Years on my '07 M2 106 at 196k. There was still good tread, but the cupping was getting bad. I think that the low weight of the steer contributes to this. I have Centramatics and I'm probably going to go with the Tru-Balance centering sleeve. It centers the drum and...

    FOX fact-checking Palin?

    She's about as Manchurian as it gets, maybe even more so than Obama. But, dang, she sure is purty.

    November Location

    I think my truck's starting to sink into the pavement here in Laredo.

    Nuvi 465T

    I should have answered this sooner Dakota, sorry. Yes, it has those things, but the speaker quality is very poor. If you're on a surface street @ 35mph, you'll be able to understand it, probably. But, at xway speeds, forget about it.

    Rent To Own!!

    E-1 started a lease program back in '06. Is it still going?

    Diesel Supplements

    I had a Ford mechanic tell me not to do that when I asked about it. While this was common back in the day, as engines have evolved it's not recommended any more. A converter is just one example of something that could be screwed up by doing this.

    Qualcomm

    That one's not Qualcomm. It operates on cell towers for communication and satellite for positioning.

    Fort Hood Shooting

    I was worried for a minute, then I realized that my "box" is made of fiberglass. I guess I'm O.K.

    I'm sure sorry to hear that. You have my deepest sympathy.

    New Jersey mandates snow-free vehicles

    You also don't use any punctuation. Did you not make it through elementary school?

    Big Rig Truck Accessories has locations in Gretna, Ne. and New Braunfels, Tx. I've used the Gretna location twice for repairs and been pleased with their service.
