    Yeah, 1912.

    They have been through lots of tough times. It's a tough, resiliant family owned company. Funny part, every other company here is owned by someone that worked for Roe at one time or another. Kind of hard to trash the competition when our company tought them everything they know.

    I plan to buyout the company and I can't decide if I have to start that over or if I can still say since 1912. It will be the same company, just not in the same family anymore. It is a still a great business but the boss's son, the next in line to run it is mastering in Aero-space Engineering, HVAC doesn't intrest him much.

    I've got two Chevy's... love 'em! Wife and I both drive 03 Impala's. Next purchase will be a four-door 2500 to pull the RV trailer and haul the toys to the lake.

    Ive had both, new chevs and fords, as far as the Van goes I prefer FORD, the Chevy we have makes you feel like your chin is on the concrete, steep windshield. The FOrd is alot more comfortable.

    As for trucks, well I like the Ford I have but wouldnt mind a Chevy (If a gun was put to my head).





    You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel...

    I've driven Chevy's for the last 15 years, but come to think of it, I have looked down the barrel of a gun a few times

    You should see the truck out of picture in front of my work truck. It's my fun truck. It's a 1987 3/4ton Chevy 4x4. I dumped a $5000 well built 350 4 bolt in it 2 years ago. It also has a turbo 350 trans. and 4:10 gears, it hauls major ass. In the past couple of years nearly everything has been replaced on it, the only thing NOT new on it is the body.

    Ofcourse since it gets 6mpg on a good day, other than mud drags it just sits until gas prices come down a bit.


    It don't need no tow hooks. ....I pulled a '94 Ranger 4x4 sideways down the road one day....damn friends talked me into it.
