He hit that nail on the head. The first year or two of a new model will be full of bugs. The last year or two is probably the best of that run.

I saw a truck the other day a friend was looking at and the STICKER, not counting the "market adjustment" was $101,000. I asked him what he paid for his house and he said "About $95,000". A house, if you take care of it, will stay the same or appreciate. That jingle jangle jingle you hear when...

Unfortunately, as long as people pay it, it won't go down.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Now something for the season.

If the driver even knew he lost his load. I've seen trucks show up with partial loads. We got a call when I was working from the Illinois State Police about a load of stuff with our name on the packing slip. When the driver showed up, his trailer was half empty. He didn't know where it was...

Several years ago, a pickup with pallets just tossed in the back lost it's load right in front of a motorcycle. The rider couldn't miss it and he and his passenger were both killed. I was taking some pallet home on a trailer and it was heavily strapped with straps and chains. I had two...

My cruiser is going into the shop in a couple of days for the one spot of tinworm to be repaired. Welding a piece of a replacement rocker panel in and then a partial respray. The car is fun to drive but the doors are so wide, I often nearly fall out as I have to lever my elbow on the door jamb...

I know a lot of guys who just toss stuff in the back of their truck and rely on gravity to hold it in place. I worked in Logistics before I retired so I always strap my loads...

I run 87 in everything I've got. Granted, I had a BMW 528i that called for 91 or higher, but even it ran okay on 87, just reduced power and economy. Right now I've got a '96 Ram 1500 with the 5.9, 2005 PT Cruiser convertible and 2016 Mazda CX-5 and all run just fine with no ignition ping.

Two fuel stations one mile apart on both sides of a hill. The one near me is $4.09 for diesel. The big chain on the other side is $4.98. Haven't seen much traffic at their diesel pumps though.

Filled up at Costco for $2.62 a gallon. This morning I went by another station and diesel was down to $4.09 at one station. Most are around $4.79, down from well over $5.

I don't know what happened but I got locked out of two forums online. I'd log in and the page would turn white. Oh well, C'est la vie!

I hope all the members here who live in the Eastern Great Lakes area, especially Pa. and NY. are doing okay. Another forum I visit one member made a VERY poor comment about the Governor declaring a state of Emergency before the snow started. He changed his tune when myself and several other...

Before I retired, part of my job was to be a trouble shooter. I kept things going by keeping the truck drivers in line. Some of you may have seen me post something and mention that "Nothing is foolproof for a talented fool". These photos are from a driver who didn't swing wide enough to clear a...

Lot's of luck to that dealer when supply catches up with demand. Back in the late 1970's there was a shortage due to strikes by the autoworkers union. A couple of dealers around here really jacked prices up. A year later, both were under different names and management.

I didn't get them in that order, it's just the best way to keep track of them. I've been with the GF for 7 or 8 years and she told her sister I've had 30 cars since she's known me. I could only think of 29, then I bought the PT Cruiser convertible. Had to keep her honest.

A few years ago, I started keeping track of the vehicles I've owned. Every now and then I'll remember another one and add it to the list. The current list is, and these are only cars and trucks I've plated and insured, not ones I bought for parts. 1947 Ford 1 1/2 ton 1948 Chrysler Windsor...
