    Insurance problems

    I am just glad I am not the only one who has had to explain more than once, that it is simply a pick up with a different paint job. I am curious what will happen with the DMV. One of our company commanders is at the DMV, so I think I might give him a call, see if he can process this for me, he...

    SF 97

    Back to the issue of time limit, I think Robyn jus tthe other day said the time limit was no longer enforced. I could be wrong, but do an online chat with them, I have found those folks to be very quick and very helpful. Maybe it is just me, but there seems to be better customer service there...

    Ft Bragg CUCV pick up help

    These guys are saving my butt. Thanks everyone for helping them out. CGarbee is getting my truck tomorrow and Citizen Soldier and Gymp are getting it Monday. Hope they are able to post pictures for you and me. Anxious to see what the baby looks like in 3rd party eyes, not those of GL.

    Why no crew cabs?

    Oh, and remember, every state now has a Civil Support Team, that is national guard ready reaction force, they have all kinds of goodies to deal with terroist attacks or chemical events, all that stuff, they often look like swat as they are mixed services (air, army and sometimes state LEF).
