I get it is how you earn your living but one of my main pet peeves while driving the GTA roads daily are the way Tow truck operators drive around here. I realize it's a "chase to the ca$h" but you would not believe some of what I see them doing to get around traffic. Climbing curbs, speeding, passing in the emergency lane, using the left turn lane as a passing lane. Makes me more nuts than I already am !!

I know what you mean but in my area the tow trucks are not that bad as the traffic isn't as bad. I went to TO the other day to gpo out to dinner with my son and his wife, the 401, 427, Gardiner and Lakeshore was a parking lot. Took me 2.5 hours and I don't know how you guys deal with that on a daily basis

I feel your pain. I've been defending freedom for the past couple weeks here in Japan. The things I do for my country. . . they change about every 4 years. The per diem will find a T56 rebuild in my Camaro.
Been there, done that. Thanks for your service! I don't miss Korea, yet made a lot of memories LOL

Semi-retired, LOL. Research specialist for selected clientele, One off design and fabrication. Periodically disturbed by 0-dark hundred calls out of the blue by a civic employer as a plug and play employee on an as needed basis. (Hey, don't laugh, I get to have butter on my bread cause of those call ins!!) Everything from being the muscle for non GM parts harvesting exercises all the way to designing and fabricating my own version of a snow deflector/barrier/removable wall for my front driveway. Some days old, others, older, a few, ancient, approaching fossil. Oh yeah, I was the designer, draftsman, and general contractor, and laborer for the shop/garage that sits my back yard. Think the term here is "generalist"

I wonder if Boeing tries to offer a 737 'glider kit', essentially a brand-new Max with no engines, just transfer your refurbished 700/800 engines...and operating system.

RETIRED...not retarded :giggle:

Worked full time for fed gov, as senior scientist, and AF reserves part time...retired from both over 15+ years ago. As a result and still in good health, I am currently able to focus full time activities on finishing restoration work on classic vehicles, which includes '87 El Camino.

For our civil service and military members, thank you for your service to this great Nation!
