Yeah, way to go Don, that's the way to support the Canadian economy.
Send the money to Japan.

Well, I sent (not personally) a bunch of money to China today. But I'm
still supporting the economy. I helped a local gun dealer get a good
bulk discount. He needed the extra amount to qualify for a 25,000
round purchase .

I'm not a fan of Chinese small arms or ammo, but lots of guys are. I've
seen a couple of interesting Chinese semi-autos, but the stamped out AK
knockoffs, nah.

How much ammo you keep around?

Well, I'd say I have about 7-8000 rounds of 7.62x39, Cheap shooting.
The SKS's are crude looking, simple yet effective for what they are
but have some really neat features you don't find on about anything
else, like a chrome lined bore (fights corrosion) a bayonet that is
more than a toad sticker, it can be pressed into the ground and used
as a monopod and they're very dependable, and danged cheap rifles to
own shoot. But true, they don't win the beauty prize.

I have over 3000 rd of 5.56 (223) and at least 1000 rd of 357, 44, and
45 in each caliber, and I'm not sure but I think I have about 1500 in .
303 Brit. and about 500 is 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser. I'm not sure Harry,
but I'd have to see what I've got in 30-06, .308, .30 carbine and .
243, not counting various various shotgun shells.

Just picked up my new 2009 Toyota RAV4.

I resisted buying a Japanese car for 32 years. I remember seriously
checking out a 1977 Honda Accord before settling on a Dodge Aspen SW.
I've supported 'American cars' all my life except for my very first car...a
Morris 850 SW, my first brand new car...a VW Beetle and in the late 80s.. a
Russian Lada. This is my first Asian car and I apologize to no one.

Oooh...Lada....pure junk. Something like the Chinese Chery deathtrap.
Ever see the crash test footage on that beauty? Terrifying to say the
least.

Yes, your chick car was ASSEMBLED in Ontario, but where were the parts
made, dummy?

Bit of an ordeal these days...... the salesman spends about 45 minutes with
you going over every detail, al the options etc....then it's the business
guys turn.
Too bad it's such a crappy cold, windy, damp day up here... wife & son are
working overtime tonight so it would have been a good opportunity for me to
hit the open road with the dog.

The lease return inspection went well...I had heard some horror stories
about the 3rd party inspection company (AutoVin) that a lot of car companies
are using now. This guy was good...maybe the heavy rain mellowed him out.
I didn't have to pay for any excess wear & tear. Odometer read 29902
kilometers...I was allowed 60096.



You overpaid, dummy. Don't do the same with your new chick car (not an
SUV).

Well, isn't that special. Why do you feel it necessary to post your
purchases here?
