I'm not at all surprised by #6. While I'm fortunate enough to live on the nice, quiet side of town, I can't help but regret ever buying a house in this  :poop: hole. My daughter should graduate in just over a year, and I'll be selling this place shortly thereafter. If they'd move the projects - and everything within within a half-mile of it - from Springfield to Memphis, this would be a pretty nice place to raise a family.

I found a guy who will take me to an auction and charge me $500 over whatever I pay for a vehicle. I tried that before I bought my current truck, and it didn't pan out. Most of the trucks went for well above my budget, and I'm afraid I'll run into the same thing again. After fees and such, I'm not sure the final price would have been much under retail. If he won't charge me an arm and a leg if I don't buy anything, I'll probably give it a shot. 

New design?

I'm looking for a local (Nashville / Middle Tennessee) shop that stocks 9mm Cor-Bon DPX.

I'm sure that's before the interest was calculated.

They told him MSRP was $45,000. 

A friend recently bought one. They convinced him that he got a great deal at about $35,000.

Nice!  :up:

That the problem I'm having. I don't want the payment of a new truck, but I also don't want a truck with 150,000 miles on it for $15,000 or more.

Yeah, I was having trouble posting something on Armslist a week or so ago.

I'd like to thank my Secret Santa for the range bag. I will definitely put it to good use. It's greatly appreciated. I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Bump

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. ;)

Yes, two people is almost a must. One person at the dish, the other person at the TV.

When I installed my father's, it was pretty simple. He turned the box to a channel/setting that showed the signal strength, while I pointed the dish in the general direct (southwest?) of the satellite. I slowly moved the dish around until we found the optimal position. The tuning didn't take more than five or ten minutes, and he hasn't experienced any issues.

I think she was more worried about failing, and just figured I'd be her Superman and save her from the bad guys. A female friend of ours decided to take the HCP class, so I talked her into going with her.

The whole shebang costed me a fair bit of money, but after 10± years, my girlfriend finally obtained her HCP. I figured a gun of her own would be the next logical step. I picked up a 9mm Shield (her choice) and had Amendment 2 Custom Coating make it all purdy with some pink Cerakote. With her Birthday and Christmas being only a few days apart, she has somewhat reluctantly accepted the occasional Happy Birthday/Merry Christmas gift. I haven't been brave enough to try and get away with that, until now. With the HCP class, HCP itself, the Shield, and the Cerakoting, I think I was able to get away with it this year. She's super stoked!

Polymer hammer? That's a new one to me.

It was just a matter of time. 300K+ is a good run.

I don't know if it's because I'm a Lifetime Benefactor, but I can't see the prices in the TGO Store. What are the prices?

Extended cab

I bought my 2002 F150 XLT extended cab from a dealership five years ago for $8300 cash. It's a 2WD, 5.4 V8, with an automatic transmission. It had 90,000 miles. If I'm looking at very similar trucks that are 5 years newer, the prices are significantly higher. Dare I say roughly double the price that I paid five years ago. If anyone can find me a similar truck for the money, I'm a serious buyer.
