i hear that kbb.com has a value guide now for those donations. lets see s10 no options 180k must be worth about $800 maybe and you are in the 25% bracket so thats a $200 write off provided you have enough other deductions to itemize i think id take and sell it for $500 and be ahead dealer options added. it will give me enough time for my s10 to trip 180k on the way to work that morning. its done all its going to and is headed out to pasture as a donation and a tax right off. ill start watching reality tv shows when i can vote people off the planet. .

chances are you will end up spending $300 in gas insurance and advertising while trying to sell it so it will come out about even ether way. $200 and its gone or $500 and you have to deal with phone calls and meeting people and having them look at it... what is your time worth i hear that kbb.com has a value guide now for those donations. lets see s10 no options 180k must be worth about $800 maybe and you are in the 25% bracket so thats a $200 write off provided you have enough other deductions to itemize i think id take and sell it for $500 and be ahead dealer options added. it will give me enough time for my s10 to trip 180k on the way to work that morning. its done all its going to and is headed out to pasture as a donation and a tax right off. ill start watching reality tv shows when i can vote people off the planet. .

carolina watercraft works inc. loballeng@mindspring.com wrote in what do you guys think of this unit http//www.blizzardsnowplows.com/plowshiniker-cplow.asp two things come to mind. take a look at the snow left after the pull in the midedle pic. also @800pounds it is damn heavy for a 1/2 ton. roy laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. 2810-5d yonkers road raleigh nc 27604 loballeng@mindspring.com carl a guy that lives just down the road from me has one of those aluminum jobs that was shown here. hes happy with it but realizes it is not a real plow. in a lot of situations you need to pull up to a door and back drag the snow away and this aluminum job just wont to that its a push only setup. that other flexible thing i dont know if id waste my money on it. it looks purdy chincy. what happens if you get a heavy snow and the thing starts flexing on you when youre pushing it your 1500 will handle a 7 or 7.5 ft meyers or western blade. there are many others that im sure are good but i dont have experience with them. the downside of a quad cab when plowing is you have less visibility when backing up and the cab weighs more so you may have to beef up the front suspension a bit. long story short for a few driveways and maybe a lot or two youll be ok. denny i have a 98 ram 1500 qc 4x4 and am looking at adding a light duty snow plow for using on a couple of driveways. i am wondering if any other owners have done this without any problems. i know they make them for light duty use but wanted to see if anyone has had any issue with the truck and plow combo carl .
