Unrelated frustration:
I wanted to copy music from my desktop to my new Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge and after fiddling around contacted firs Verizon and then Samsung chat for help. At one point I asked "Don't I have to tell the USB cable to not charge the phone but instead transfer files? "
Both acted as though I was just dumb, crazy or some combination, which, while true, was irrelevant. Nothing they suggested and none of the web pages they linked me to helped.
So I tried what I had suggested an hour and a half before and voila! Worked like a charm.
Frustrating on a day not going so well even before this.

I'm afraid I drive a Dodge quad cab 4x4 with a Cummins 5.9l diesel. It does get 16 mpg city and 22 mpg on the blue highways. But when I need to pull a trailer weighing 16,000#, a Prius just won't do. But what I really want to be driving is this - with a transplanted Toyota 12HT intercooled turbo diesel. I expect to make 30 mpg on the slow highways, and be able to pull that big trailer. ![[Linked Image from i1188.photobucket.com]](http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z419/gorwest/CopyofDSCN3116.jpg)

You're all so very very good. I drive a lifted Jeep Cherokee 4x4. Gets maybe 12mpg on a good day(downhill with a tailwind) But I don't drive much so I usually just fill it up once a month whether it needs it or not. I'm driving less and less as I gets older and older. Believe me, a Prius is as far as it gets from what I would enjoy driving but I enjoy not getting raped on gas prices. If my annual mileage drops below 5000, I'm probably going to give the Prius to one of my kids with the promise I get to borrow it when I need for a long trip, and I'll do something ridiculous and splashy, and LOUD. Who cares if I'm only driving ten miles a day, right? At that point, gas mileage really isn't a concern anymore.

Frustrating on a day not going so well even before this. You saying that the dialogue didn't automatically pop up when you plugged it in? Guess I am lucky! Every time I've ever plugged in my Galaxy S4 it asks if I want to (A) charge, (B) view files (C) - - I don't even remember but it's something like four or five choices.

Physically the Jeep FC170 is the footprint of a Toyota Tacoma extracab @ 3500# curb weight. But it has a 3500# payload capacity.

Frustrating on a day not going so well even before this. No,but once I saw where to make the choice now its obvious. Cannot imagine why they didn't suggest that
