I like the idea, because it will help put a lid on crap like this.

Really sorry to see that about your truck man, I hope you get it fixed.
Sounds good. Thanx I will

Sorry about the accident. I know I would be a little heated if someone down here took out one of the "kids" with no insurance... It looks like you can fix it, but it all depends on funds available and how much you truly love THAT truck.

Thanx. I know it will be expensive at least it gives me an excuse to get it painted sooner. Itz only the kind of truck I've always wanted

Yeah, when you have a chance, snap some photos and send them my way. I think I like the look better than my power mirrors.

Re: My blazer used as brakes...

"Illegal" and "Let him go" should not be in the same sentence, under any circumstances. What is wrong with the way we do things? There is absolutely no incentive to do anything "legally"....there is no down-side?

Re: My blazer used as brakes...

hmm, - so there really is ONE thing which is better in germany than the US....here you HAVE TO pay your insurance for any kind of vehicle - you have no choice...If you don`t pay, the cops seize your car, truck whatever...

Anyway - I hope you can fix it and that it`s not too expensive - nice truck

Re: My blazer used as brakes...

Hopefully that's fixable. In Maryland you can't get tags w/o insurance and the state says you have to have uninsured motorist coverage...seems silly you can't get tags w/o insurance but we have to insure against them. Obviously it comes in handy once in a while. BTW our local county sheriff is cracking down on illegals here so that guy would be getting a one way trip home around here. Good luck and let us know how the repairs progress.

Is that the correct placement for a door popper?
