I know that I am fed up with fed ex. When Clay had my turbo shipped they came by and I wasn't home. I had left a note on the door saying the that people upstairs would sign for it. The driver left and didn't leave a door tag. Good thing I had the tracking number. I had to call to find out where it was then go pick it up myself. I walked right into the building and if I knew that it was right by the back door in an unlocked cage. I wandered around until I found some one to help me in the office. I could have walked out with it. Nice security that they have there.

Fed ex is something else I agree with ya Jim. They ship nice and fast from the states up here to the great white north, I have no issues with that, but man oh man they screw up with the billing every time.

You would think they would want to charge it to my account but they keep sending me bills and asking why I dont want to pay lol. Retards!

Evening, all. Today was senior day for the soccer team. Too bad they couldn't win but at least it was a tie and not a loss.

They use sub contractors here and some of them just don't give a chit. It makes me wonder how they stay in business

Yeah, figured cause you were about the same distance from Pete as I was.

Every day, without fail. It's only about a year old but I abuse my stereo and then some. Jobsite dust, off roading, you name it. Pioneer works great.

course i wanna know why someone needs a "Remote" for their dash stereo when the things not a foot from the steering wheel... have we gotten so lazy now and days that we need a free floating remote to change stations or tracks on a stereo thats not 8 inches away???.. i can understand remotes for cd changers mounted in the trunks.. (cuz i have had 3 different 10 disc changers mounted in my older cars trunks...) but for a head unit.. its just ridicules....
LMAO!!!!
HEY!!! I use mine everyday, I never touch the head unit. In the super duty, the center console latch, well the remote sits in there and points right at the head unit. Here's my thoughts why I like it-
1) It's easier to tap the buttons while I'm driving, then to reach to the head unit and being a big azz bouncy truck, end up resetting the damn EQ instead of turning the volume up.
2)I never need to take my eyes off the road. Ever. I know where each button is and never look at the head unit. The Pioneer remote is perfect for me.
3) When I am washing the truck I like to change songs and turn the volume up or down through the glass.
4) When I go camping, I can open the back slider window and turn the volume up or down from a fair distance, making the party a bit more fun.
Now, that being said, it's all convenience and isnt needed at all. But now that I have it, I love it. I have my Ipod wired into the Pioneer and have a MP3 cd in it at all times, so there is always several thousand songs at my disposal. I think the head unit was on sale at Best buy for under $200, including the harness and dash adapter.
