If  it were  only 1  incident  in  5  year   ok   but   90  events  in  5  years....  something  is very wrong here.    They do  not need to be using US ports  is  they are not willing to  pay  for their rescues.  Rescues  due to  poor  maintenance,  poor design  etc  .  But we know   they will get away  with  it  and ...more

Ford still   has tire  issues  on  their   Vans.   Hancock  tires  have a very bad reputation  for  tread separation  too.

All  I go to  Radio  Shack   for are   parts.  Little  replacement connectors  for  nine volt battery  run   electronics.  Resistors and  other   little     parts  to  keep  things running so  that  I do not have to  go  buy  new.    Why spend  50  for  new  when  a  $5  part  will  get  it back  up  and running?

Debt  free   is a  huge bonus.    But   not forking  out  $70  a week   just   in  gas   to go  to  a job  I  hated  sure helps.  Expenses cut,   wardrobe,   meals,  wear and tear  on  the car     oh yes   my insurance dropped significantly   now  that I  only  drive  5K   miles a year  as opposed to   18K.    Yes   a ...more

My  concern   is  mail  left  in  the box  .  Our carrier delivers anywhere between  5PM and 8PM   so  many days  we think   that we had  no  mail only to  find  out  that   it was delivered well  after the  last box  check.    Now we run  the  risk   of mail sitting in  the box all weekend.   Though we get very  littl...more
