    Aerocell question

    TW, JuJu prefers the i-495! No accounting for preferences of course...haha One other little draw back on the Sprinter the sliding side door only 40 inch opening I like to be able to slide a skid in thru the side especially if it's 2 different drops and I don't have to drag the 1st one along floor.

    Aerocell question

    Tony...I noticed the roundness but the square peg in round hole didn't occur to me till you pointed it out. But I do know the door will retract far enough to be out of the masts way on the FTruck. Wouldn't it be prudent to have a heavier bumper or say a 8in wide like a step? This would keep that...

    Aerocell question

    I've had no personal experience with the aerocell but we do have one on the fleet and talking to him he's had no out of the ordinary problems.

    Why more men drivers then women truck drivers? Men have very powerful sets of sitting muscles, developed by evolution, that enable us to sit for extended periods of time without getting tired. In prehistoric times, it was often necessary to sit in one spot for long periods of time while...

    sprinter

    was it a courier truck? Maybe the driver had all his load on the shelving on one side? you know up the side of the inside wall and he turned to the other side. If the top selves had wieghty objects and the sprinter does look like it wouldn't take much to be top heavy. Remember the first Toyota...

    Ways To Piss Off A Cop

    Pretend you are gay and ask him out. When he says no, cry. If he says yes, accuse him of sexual harassment. When he puts the handcuffs on, say "Usually my dates buy me dinner first." After you sign the ticket and give it to him, say "Oops! That's the wrong name." When he goes to read you...
