    @PennSilverTaco The only other vehicle l ordered was my 2002 Mustang, it only took about 6 weeks and was kinda neat cause my name was on the window sticker.
    Think l mentioned this to you in the past but a few years after l sold that car l plugged the VIN # into a CarFax and it said it was stolen and never recovered.

    I think Mustang GTs will always be on the "most stolen" list; Cadillac Escalades have always been at the top, and the Toyota Camry (with 1991 models listed specifically) are also near the top!

    I plated it until this past year. Now I just run an OHV tag on it.

    Currently live streaming 93.3 WMMR on my computer at work...

    Pierre Robert, my favorite DJ, was talking about he band Jackyl; The band is probably most famous for its lead singer/guitarist playing songs on a chainsaw, but Pierre didn’t remember the guy’s name...

    Having watched Full Throttle Saloon for many years, I know the guy’s full name; Jesse James Dupree!

    I posted a message for Pierre on WMMR’s Facebook page telling him Jesse’s full name, and after a song ended, Pierre said this on the air!

    My advice, buy 92 octane and use a stabilizer as well. Learned this a long time agpo

    That's the setup here. Having the tank in the driveway is a little dumb but oh well..

    Or Al Bundy's Dodge that hit a million.

    My wife's 2014 cost us about 18K last year with only 17K miles. Replaced her 2005 RAV that had about 160K

    On a positive note, the minivan I got stuck behind today while taking the company president's Escalade for a car wash had one thing I like to see; A backup camera! Backup cameras became an option on higher-trim Honda Odysseys in 2009 or 2010 if I remember correctly, but did not become standard on all trim levels until 2013 (Which was the third year of the fourth generation). It's possible that backup cameras became a factory option on the Odyssey in 2008 or so, but I think it was 2009; This van clearly had an aftermarket backup camera, and I can tell you for sure that it was a 3rd Gen (2005-2011). I've seen backup cameras on a hot rodded 1940s Buick and a 1960s Mustang, along with a few other special interest vehicles, but we're talking about daily drivers here; In terms of daily driver-type vehicles, I've seen backup cameras on everything from 1980s and 1990s pickup trucks all the way up to a base model 2008ish Dodge Avenger. What does this tell us?

    In my opinion, it tells us that people are starting to rebel against car companies and their newfangled technology; People hate stuff like pushbutton start and tiny turbocharged engines, but the backup camera is one of the greatest ideas ever and people love high-powered stereos with technology like Bluetooth and touch-screens! So, they've been doing what I did with my Tacoma; Take an older but perfectly good vehicle and add the newest technology that they actually want (Bluetooth, backup camera, CarPlay, etc). Beats the hell out of spending close to thirty grand for a vehicle with trouble-prone techno-crap that they don't even want!

    I genuinely miss the days when my friend worked for Werner Enterprises; He gave me rides in his semi on two different occasions!

    R&L Carriers uses daycab rigs with the passenger seat removed, so those days are over :(

    The one thing I really don’t like about winter is how early it gets dark...

    I am now pretty sure that I have all the parts needed to install cruise control in my truck! All OEM Toyota parts for less than $200!
