    Living here we are lucky we don't have PG&E the fire starters, we have a local SMUD yep the ones that built Ranch Mistako but our price is quite low but in the low run with the miles she drives electricity and mile tax doesn't really matter

    Because you haul a race car, doesn't mean you drive it like a race car. These guys go by me like I'm tied to a tree all the time.

    A preliminary report by the Texas Department of Public Safety stated that the DGR hauler trailed the Honda Passport. The report stated that the driver of the hauler “failed to control its speed and stuck (the Honda Passport’s) towed trailer. The impact caused the (Passport) to roll onto its side into the center median and its towed trailer to vault over the concrete barrier into the eastbound lane.

    “The (DGR hauler) also traveled into the center median, struck the concrete barrier and caught fire, its towed trailer turned onto its side in the center median.”

    The Texas Department of Public Safety stated that weather conditions were clear and road conditions were dry at the time of the incident.

    I did not have anywhere near that large supply and went to Coinstar at a local Harry Teeter. No % "FEE".

    In OUR Household, I Am The OM (One Man).

    Cannot "Round UP" That Which Does NOT Exist.

    WHEN It WAS, It WAS Donated To OUR Household Fund.

    “I’m going to let you in on something, there are only two women who get away with yelling at me, one was my mother, which didn’t happen very often as it was wait til your dad gets home, other is my ole lady, now unless you’re trying to take her place, in which everyone out here may see a cat fight, youse, better change your tone, or youse can go haul this freakin load yourself.”
