    Nightcreature, who ever said anything about a 9 year old truck? The one I bought two years ago for 27K was not even 5 years old. Might want to do your homework a little more if your refereing to what I posted. The truck is double profitable of what your suggesting, and if one is not happy...

    BroomPilot...Camera System Question.

    Rex thanks for the compliment! No Greys yet just a little memory loss. Safety Vision. Backing up gives you enough view to see at a 180 degree, so if a car comes into play you will see it way before hitting it. It is a VCR. Personally I would do it again, it saved me from a big rookie...

    You will be the same person five years from now that you are today: Except for the people you meet and the books you read. Do you want to stay exactly where you are? I enjoy this business very much, but I would like more opportunities to open up. Love reading on personal finances, and...

    MPG

    It changes so much with the weather conditions I feel like a weather man by my mpg. The only time I do well in bad weather is if the wind is behind me, otherwise I put the sails up and mother nature takes care of my fuel savings. (wind drag kills me) Good weather 9-9.8 Good weather with the...

    Many of us can question his reasonings, but I will stick up for one thing I am proud of this guy for. He paid Cash he does not have to work his tail off when most others will.

    Rolling Hills and Passing

    I agree with White, they are much heavier and the law of gravity has everything to do with it. With tht said, XM 171 just did a program on cruise control and issues associated with it. One suggestion was "There is a place and time for the Cruise Control" The situation you explained...

    What would you have done?

    As Greg mentioned, PLUS go inside the of the place. Locate the manager and tell them, the evidence would show the truth!!! Let them discuss it with the cops. It is a crime to urinate in a parking lot, and with evidence and your willingness to testify this person could be in for some trouble...
