    Have thought about checking into Bankruptcy Court Dates to Inquire about IP & CAD files. That is worth the trouble/ effort because with that, you have a full ongoing business. Especially if there is CAD stuff on all the new front & rear bumpers they were developing and caused so many to get burned by PB.

    Excellent point, I am probably missing several things from Operations side in my thinking.

    Half of my job is also .NET and MS SQL Server but it seems like there are very few "full stack" Android openings so I apply for Android stuff mostly.

    They are pretty significant size, legitimate business and they'd (1) well know copyright laws as a contractor and (b) have no interest in jeopardizing their reputation or future bids by stealing IP.

    If it was something they were interested in they could ask the court to reward them something like that as compensation but the CAD alone isn't worth much. Nothing Pelfreybilt was doing was that unique or even patented.

    So the value is a couple of hours in drafting and CAM out to reproduce the files, which I suspect they can do in-house faster than it took me to type this post.

    BJoto Baldwin is old news, his ego and many other factors will keep him from any W's for a long time. I can curious what his excuse will be this time and who will get let go for steering failure. Tummy ache make him hit a rock on course? steering rack manufacturer problem? Fabricator's welds who welded the chassis?

    Anyone have any experience with either of these tires before?

    They are for my wife's Maxima. We had to get new tires a year and a half ago and the ones they sold her weren't the greatest and they suck really bad in the snow. They have 22,000 miles on them and they are already toast so I've been looking at these 2 and they have pretty good snow rating for an all season. Any other recomendation's are appreciated on good all seasons that do good in the snow. I know the best thing in the winter is a real snow tire but 2 sets aren't in our budget right now. Thanks in advance.

    We took Rochelle's CR-V through Durango on our way to AZ this weekend and the Michelin ltxms I put on it were amazing through the snow and weather we just got. I was confident the entire time on them. I think someone else on here really likes that tire too

    We have the continentals on my wife’s Infiniti G25x and they have been excellent.

    I had Continental Extreme Contact DWS06’s on my old Mazda Speed3 DD. Loved those tires! Great for that car in all conditions!

    We had the Continentals on the Camry and I wasn’t impressed with longevity. Pulled the trigger on Michelins about 500 miles ago. I don’t think I’ll be disappointed.

    OEM headlight bulbs just died after 12 years. Must’ve been the new Odessy I just put in her. My Optima was on its last legs after 8 years. Impressed with longevity of things.

    Discount runs them sometimes. I’m sure other stores do too. Looking for some coops.
