for something more entertaining and/or

educational.



Member's Rides page with pics of a few

trucks every month maybe?

Yeah, nobody wants Mr. Memmolo in our rag anymore, so let's focus on solutions for that space/money.



I suggest more info clipped from this site for those without computer access. [Hey admin, what's the pecentage of members without site access?] Or maybe squeezing some more info out of folks like Joseph Donnely.

Yes, Sam has written about replacing his carpet in his truck he even had photos for those who can't follow instructions!



No I don't watch his shows or listen to his radio shows but I do read his column, the whole column!



In his colum under sub-title ch,... changes (issue 37) which I finally had time to read on page 110 second paragraph last sentence "Forgive me for sounding like "The Green Grocer," but all this new stuff helped me make the decision to freshen "Midnite" and pass her on to the next generation to enjoy".

Know surprises he telling us he is going to depart with his truck and move on to another.



I 've loved my last produce wagon (88 3500 ford van 15 passenger-back seats removed ,460 gas engine) but it was time to get something more econmical, less expensive ,easier to work on and dependable. I love this ford van I still it see running around town ( I sold it with 247,000 on the odometer five years ago), I love Mule/Dodge and Freightliner (both cummins powered) they are my 3rd/4rth produce wagons.



Sam apparrently replaced/improved everything he could on Midnite it was time to move on, unfortunately it was to a chevy/diesel but than again it mite take 8 to ... ? years to improve his new truck. I think it will be fun reading!

Quit your :{.

You say dont read his column anymore? I have never read a single one, he always reminded me of a spoiled rich kid, the kind that is good at spending daddy's money.



I hope he goes away, I'm certain that GM bought him ( and he probably was cheap ).



I could NEVER understand why the TDR magazine printed his BS and defended him anyway.



Bye Bye loser!

I don't see why we have to continue "badmouthng" on this subject. Why not leave it alone and let it go away!

I suspect this thread will die if it is locked or TDR Admin announces they have dumped Sam and not until.

Lots of people have strong feelings on whether he should continue getting paid for writing a TDR column, but I'm sure GM paid him well enough that he wont care about losing TDR money.



Boy, how did I ever live without knowing how to replace my carpet ?
