    Any Lawyers on Board?? This is great

    Wait a minute: It looks like you said you already filed a lawsuit. If you did then you would have known there was no jury trial for small claims. Looks like it is time to fess up. If you did not tell the truth about filing the claim, what else are you leaving out? I am sorry, but at this...

    Any Lawyers on Board?? This is great

    As an aside, just in case your lawyer did not inform you, there are NEVER jury trials for small claims court in the US. You see a judge, or get deferred to a mediator. Good lord, man. Do you really think a court would waste the valuable time of twelve of your peers for $2000?

    Any Lawyers on Board?? This is great

    At this point, I am calling BS on this one. Whether you are telling the truth or not is irrelevant. The story you have just does not add up to what the tow truck driver will tell a judge or jury. He will win by saying you drove the truck off the lift, and the damage seems to support what he will...

    Any Lawyers on Board?? This is great

    I am going to agree with Marc: you will not win this case. I don't blame you for trying, but it is unlikely you will get anything. Here is why: you were illegally parked, and he was authorized (through whatever jurisdiction) to remove your illegally parked truck. The fact that you got into your...

    Moab Bridge Burned

    I hate to bring up the obvious, but the problem is not the kid who lit a match, or even the parental evils that got him to do such a tragic thing as light a match. There are many people that have matches that will light a fire for much more sinister reasons than even a seven year old can think...

    My Rover versus a Ford Focus

    It will be higher. On top of our Rover, my wife got hit in a fairly rare VW Jetta GLX Wagon with a 5 speed. They could not locate a comp and gave us 95% of sticker. The car was about a year old. I paid 6K less than they gave us six months before (it was 6 mos. used when I bought it)

    My Rover versus a Ford Focus

    You may just want to check on a buyback from USAA. They are my carrier as well and have been more than fair. After totaling my then four year old D2 for about $5K more than it was worth, they sold it back to be for somewhere around $1100. I owed about $18,5K and got enough back to payoff my...

    iPOD Gurus.. help me out

    Sorry Chris, but that's not necessarily true. I sync my iPhone calendar with Outlook on an XP laptop and sync my music to my iMac. With both I use iTunes. The funny thing is that it seemed to have to "learn" to do this before it would stop warning me that it could only sync to one machine. I...

    Cherry!

    The only thing holding me back from putting in a bid on this rig is the fact that I enjoyed a great single malt this evening. Life has taught me that friends don't let friends drink and bid. i still want that rig bad. Maybe worse than any other Rover I have ever seen. I will have to take a...

    Zune

    Not that I am a representative sample, but in our family we have six ipods and two iphones. All this from a man that used to hate anything Apple. To date we have had no problems, but I don't want to jinx myself. I used to hate iTunes, but after messing with it for some time I am starting to...

    Yeah, well, back in the old days we woulda taken you behind the shed and knocked some sense into your thick skull. Hey, wait a minute. You were in the old days and you woulda been helping us beat your pasty white ass. I am getting confused. May have lost my meds. What was I talking about? Oh...

    Happy New Year to you Ho, and everyone else too. BTW - whats with all of the DC ass-kissing going on here? One newb complains and then everyone wants to blow Dan? It is like a mob mentality with a strange twist of lovin' on the Chap Man. In years past we used to take serious pride in serious...

    Daredevil Evel Knievel Dies at 69

    Evel was truly the inventor of the 'extreme sports' that are popular today. He taught us all how to jump further, go faster, and explore limits with no bounds. My hat goes off to the death of a great icon. Thank you for what you have done, sir.

    If you had a choice...

    Beer is generally more filling than bacon unless you eat a ton. I guess it all depends on how long I am stranded, but I should be able to get enough nutritional benefit from beer to survive rather than eating just bacon. Hell, if you remove the alcohol, beer is basically a health drink.
