  1. Did the USPS tractors have Allison transmissions?
  2. Received this from a friend... Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare website. First Lady Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the no-bid contract to build the failed Obamacare website. Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company. Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni. Toni Townes,’85, is a onetime policy analyst with the General Accounting Office and previously served in the Peace Corps in Gabon, West Africa. Her decision to return to work, as an African-American woman, after six years of raising kids was applauded by a Princeton alumni publication in 1998. George Schindler, the president for U.S. and Canada of the Canadian-based CGI Group, CGI Federal’s parent company, became an Obama 2012 campaign donor after his company gained the Obamacare website contract. On the government end, construction of the disastrous Healthcare.gov website was overseen by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a division of longtime failed website-builder Kathleen Sebelius’ Department of Health and Human Services. CGI Federal did not immediately return a request for comment. Soooooo........... Let’s see if we can connect the dots here ... 1.) No American companies considered; 2.) A Canadian company hired; 3.) No Bid contract for $93 million; 4.) Top executive at website-building firm went to school with Michelle Obama; 5.) Previous experience building gun registry for Canadian government; 6.) Fired by Canadian Government for overruns that cost Canada $100 million; 7.) Overruns for Obamacare enrollment website now costing U.S. $678 million, and still going up. Does this bother anybody else besides me? And this is just one of their corrupt enterprises. The Obamas are worse than "Bernie" Madoff and far more dangerous to the country.
  3. Dual stacks on the passenger side would be interesting. Gives me an idea for my "next" MH exhaust system - added to the bottom of my LOOOONNNG "to do" list.
  4. Welcome to BMT! FWD, but he is a "truckin' slut"....fits in with the crowd.
  5. Its slime green....must be a new and non-leaker 2-stroke for Government Motors' new on-highway low no emissions truck.
  6. And it was 70 degrees and sunny here in PA! Never too cold or windy for pics of Macks...but maybe Mike confiscated the camera to keep his "treasures" a secret....
  7. Hmmm, interesting tractor. UPDATE: Scania...never mind.
  8. Use a multi-meter and check continuity of the wires. Do you know the brake lamp bulbs and sockets are good?
  9. The car has a synchronized transmission. Easy to do. I would like to see her shift a non-synchro tranny. BTW, too much eye makeup.
  10. In FFA we held "shotgun shoots" at the high school after FFA meetings. I remember driving my dad's pickup to school with a 30-30 mounted in the rear window. Several of us did this during deer season so we could hunt after school. Times have changed.
  11. Bob...here ya go... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U71V44Qk9U
  12. I feel for you. Likely someone not paying attention and likely does not realize they hit your truck. I am the same way. My HHR got "doored" last winter not once but several times by the same vehicle and time. I try to park away from the crowd or a space with LOTS of room.
  13. What about the double right side stack like on this truck?
  14. In just over two (2) weeks it will be Christmas. Let me be the first to wish everyone on BMT and their families a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. My favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night. I posted a vid last year by the Celtic Woman. Here is another vid by the same ladies. Enjoy and remember the reason for the season. Let there be peace on earth! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5MpQsLJvOw And for those who like it with a twist... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJdKLqkD42Q
  15. True! Fat chicks only when I am parked.
  16. Nice! Wish I had more gears in my MH....
  17. Where are you located? If in the US, don't let EPA get wind of the repower. Regs state you can put a newer engine in an older truck but not vice versa.
  18. Check with McMaster-Carr www.mcmaster.com
  19. Yes, saw this earlier. I sent them a note and plan to look at the truck later next week.
  20. one gets hauled in the winter and one gets hauled in the summer...
  21. Store the CAT flaps...semi-old logo with Diesel Power. Nuttin' wrong with a 3406.
  22. Too many Winfall wimmin pics? Did you look at the wiring diagram and use a multi-meter to do some troubleshooting?
  23. Yep, I can relate! Does an Ali McGraw look alike come with the truck?
  24. Thanks for the info. At least it does not take you to my pics of Winfall wimmin.
  25. Very nice! Thanks!
