<0> FreeTrade: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/
<1> Ive been using other sub contractors trucks for my hauling,,
<1> Thanks pickle ill check it out.
<0> FreeTrade: GMC also makes a hybrid Sierra
<0> (Not available in Canada.)
<2> http://imageshack.dk/imagesfree/upq76162.jpg <---what is the "jordanian wedding bombed" article about?
<1> Same gas mileage as my honda unless I use the same principle and take 5 mpg off, then it gets about 11 mpg
<2> lol 11 mpg
<1> but I think deisal are less sensitive to how you drive them.
<2> you gas hog
<3> pilgrim`, what a great paradigm shift!
<4> anyone in Indiana?
<3> no thank god
<5> lol
<2> no no what is this jordanian wedding bombed thing
<6> http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=ot3ubc <--Now this is scarry (work safe)
<4> I was reading an article where their Univ now requires freshmen buy a Thinkpad
<3> IU Bloomington?
<7> rond: damn you, you said it was work safe!
<1> Thats regular fuel I want deisal.
<7> rond: they don't allow such obscene material here! :-P
<5> http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/11/13/jordan.blasts/
<1> Anyway, This flex fuel is mostly bs
<7> Monday, November 14, 2005
<0> FreeTrade: Why?
<2> http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9979747/
<1> I would not buy a truck on the basis of flex fuel burning capacity.
<2> good lord
<2> all these suicide bombings are making me sad
<1> I would rather use deisal which you can use biodeisal and deisel.
<0> FreeTrade: FFV won't increase your mileage, that much is true
<0> FreeTrade: The thing about biodiesel is that it's no good in cold climates.
<0> Ethanol is much more viable.
<4> Pickle: simple: walk
<2> a wedding is supposed to be one of the happiest moments of a persons life...then dozens of people die in it or are maimed for life by shrapnel...just...an impossible situation
<4> so we booze up Canada and use fish fry in Louisiana
<1> Damn Deisel the gas mileage goes way up
<1> Well not way up but about 15% I would guess
<4> Deisel is good for other things; the engien runs on compression. that is: it will run on ANY fuel
<0> FreeTrade: The thing about FFV is that it's eco-friendly and really doesn't require huge changes to vehicle design... You just have to use more durable materials, less prone to corrosion.
<1> They dont have all vehicles here for inspection but take a jeep 4wd, it gets 22 with deisal city, Probably gets 17 with gas..
<0> Of course, biodiesel requires no changes to vehicle design at all.
<1> Im guessing
<1> Right...
<4> you could technically run diesel on kerosine for example, or coalgas
<0> In fact, people all over America are driving FFVs right now without even knowing it, probably.
<4> Free you need to replace all paper filters
<1> And I would only consider biodeisel in most cases when there is a fuel shortage if there is.
<1> or a spike.
<0> Ford and GM have been quietly introducing them to the market for years.
<1> Or if I could make my own fuel cheaply, but I doubt it.
<4> what isFFV?
<1> Pcikle, What are FFVs ?
<4> I prefer a 1960s vintage Mercedes diesel
<0> pilgrim: Flex-Fuel Vehicles. Vehicles capable of using regular gas or 85% ethanol (E85).
<1> ahh yeah ok.
<4> ah
<4> Pickle any car can given a tune up
<1> Most cars can burn some ethanol anyway But the E85 is 85% ethanol.
<0> pilgrim: Yeah, the only issue is the tubing and stuff will corrode in non FFVs.
<1> You can run any car now on pure ethanol, the problem is it will ruin the engine right ?
<0> FreeTrade: Eventually. It's highly corrosive.
<4> true, but, in a 60s vintage Fairlane the tubes are already coroded ;)
<1> yeah..
<1> The Honda smokes Toyota..
<0> Most vehicles can take up to about 15 or 20% ethanol without trouble, beyond that you need a flex-fuel system to keep the fuel line healthy.
<4> use a poly-molibnumum gas mix. that will burn and...coat all surfaces. then run ethanol
<1> Well not that much, it gets about 5mpg more on highway
<1> Correction 15 mpg more.
<1> but thats a tiny car too.
<4> its sort of a moecular level teflon-like coating
<1> The honda civic is a better comparison
<0> Anyway, time to take the old lady out for lunch. Later folks.
<1> And against fuel stickers are guides they are not factual.
<1> Cya Pickle!
<4> ttfn
<4> in WWII the Brits ran buses on coal gas
<1> MIni Coopers do pretty well but my problem is I need to haul stuff.
<4> Free you still have the pickup?
<1> And my accord has better safety and survivability than a lot of these cars.
<1> Pilgrim I sold it.
<4> ah
<1> It sat in my garage for a year and I didnt use it
<4> get a 1959 short bed Dodge PowerWagon
<1> Took up space and I carried insurance full coverage that whole time.
<4> that hurts
<1> Its cheaper for me to rent a truck from time to time.
<1> Im at a transition point in my business life. So I dont know where Im going exactly.
<4> I am looking at Insurance; kid's getting old enough
<1> If I just to do construction management, I might even give up my buisness, Nah I should run it on the side for tax purposes.
<4> Realty or back to building or...selling Mary Kay? :)
<1> Or I could manage jobs from contractor to contractor.
<1> \Pilgrim I wish I could laugh about it but my financial future has me concerned. The word gets out about my back and occ***ionally people tell me they heard I wasnt doing construction anymore whic isnt true, But I still get tons of jobs, I worry more than I probably should.
<1> But at this age, I am looking for more security.
<1> Also they hear that because I am a real estate broker too.
<1> I would like to go back to college and change careers, I dont think I can afford to, in fact i am sure I cant.
<1> I would ming going into healthcare, or Maybe some computer technology which doesnt require tremendous aptitude.
<1> I could service computers for hardware problems for dealers like Dell or Toshiba.
<8> how old are you
<1> You just get a ticket, You go in and you install a new hard drive.
<1> Or new ram
<7> Freetrade: something that doesn't require tremendous aptitude...you should run for President of the US
<7> :-P
<8> haha
<1> Or you replace a mother board.
<1> Not much to it.
<1> l0c0, Just say Politics ;)
<1> Im 47 soon to be 48 ;)
<4> kid ;)
<8> oh
<8> maybe a little late to change careers =p
<1> You get jobs where you lose money though too, You can get a repair which is replace motherboard, Hard drive and sound card and wireless. and keyboard...
<4> never!
<1> They pay the same as they do when you put in 2 ram modules in 15 minutes.
<1> They pay per ticket doesnt matter how much needs to be replaces.
<1> d
<9> Freetrade: just got the proposed settlement on the house. Someone at the water utility had a serious brainfart, and no one questioned it. They claimed there is a water/sewer bill due of $11335 [ instead of 113.35 ] !!!
<4> Free my kind of work is like that
<1> Lupine Jesus christ talk about government incompetence.
<1> Well I consider utilities quasi government.
<9> FT: well, in this case, it IS the city govn't.
<4> Free you got a good 401 or other pensiont hign set up?
<9> you'ld think that they would have some kind of "red flag" in the program for something totally off the wall
<10> hmm when the editor of national review says we lost the war in iraq you know things are going really bad http://www.nationalreview.com/buckley/buckley200602241451.asp
<11> private utilities make much better decisions. like pg&e lobbying for deregulation
<12> Sewer bill -- maybe he's just been pooping a whole lot
<4> Lupine you havea 11 THOUSAND dollar bill?
<13> oax take a look at what happened to Gray Davis after deregulation
<11> Wabbit98 yeah that was sarcasm. degrulation didn't work out
<14> thats nothing, the rocket scnientists in charge of our city water made grey water and fresh water pipes not only the same freaking COLOR CODE, but the SAME SIZE, something any plumber will tel you is flat ****ing NUTS
<4> Lupine make a photocopy and send it to the paper
<9> pil: yea.. some goof entered it in wrong, i.e. entered the .xx into the dollar side. so it was $11335 instead of 113.35 and _ no one_ questioned it
<13> opps, sorry oax
<4> Darth I believe it
<12> In the computer -- must be true
<14> if the editor of National Review is saying we lost the war in iraq, then it must be going better than we thought
<9> well, I should say, the BILL they sent us was correct. The copy they sent to the closing company was wrong.
<9> which is worse, IMHO.. as you have a govn't entity claiming two DIFFERENT amounts owed
<4> oh my god! they hit your credit?
<4> Lupine get a weasel now
<12> They can hti my credit, I don't care
<9> naw.. the lady at the closing/escrow company caught it right off the bat
<9> it's not even past due yet :-)
<14> to call the re regulation of power deregulation is to be just silly.
<4> you need to get them to fix that and pay you 2-3 million in agravation
<12> I buy old cars with cash and I own a house. I don't need no stinking credit.
<4> I pay cash too and I have excellent credit
<14> it is surprisingly easy to get good credit, pay your bills
<4> my current credit card debt is rather high thoug; I bought a hard drive this month so it is over 200
