I'm hoping for a 300-post thread here. Don't let me down.

When I bought my Key West, the dealer and I agreed on the price. Then he asked how I wanted to
finance it, offering me a choice of three banks/loan organizations he worked with. I told him I
wanted to put it on my VISA. He gave me a funny look, like, "Are you bull****ting me?" Then he said
he had to make a phone call. He came back and said I could put only $10,000 on VISA at one time -
rules of his accounting firm (?). OK, so I said I'd put up $10,000 as a down payment, and then pay
off the boat when it came in. He said that would work. Then, when the boat came in, I put another
$10,000 on my VISA. Because of the rewards program, I got 3% of the $20,000 back. The dealer wasn't
thrilled. I pulled a similar deal when I bought my 5th wheel trailer.

The credit, for the month or so of each charge, was free!

Yeah, sure, credit is free. Dumbass, you still don't get it and never
will, apparently.

You bank will just find a way to 1000 other people with exhorbitant
fees for overdrawn checks or teller visits or debit card purchases. No
matter, you got what you wanted, screw everyone else.

Bleeding heart liberal?

Would you be happier if I sent my bank a couple hundred dollars each month just to hold down the
costs for folks like you and Kevin?

You're a joke.

Still thinking about the Sig Sauer P226. This one, with a conversion kit:

Walther makes a beautiful handgun. Can you convert it to a .40 caliber?

It depends on what you are looking for: Carry gun; home defense or
target practice/competition.

You really need to think that through because no one gun is ideal for
more than one category.

You have a good point there, Wayne. That's why I have several is
various styles and a wide range of calibers. But within reasonable
range I like a .45. It seems that "one shot cures all'
