  1. Extended warranties are a really good money maker for the provider. Most average 10% of the cost of the vehicle that means if they do not have to replace 1 vehicle in 10 they make money. If you were promised that in a portfolio you would sell your soul to sign up for it. If it was the lottery you would sign up for it but now that you are on the other side of the equation are you still gung ho to be on the losing side?. If you take the $1200.oo and send it into the morgage company at 6% in 2 years it will be worth over 72.oo per year simple interest.

  2. Something a little strange about that pic?? What's with the chain hanging off the far side of it's mouth? and the antlers seem to be missing a bit here and there? However there is a deer track in the snow which seems to validate it a genuine!

     

     

    Looks like a broken tine and the chain is behind him...

  3. I finally admitted to an affair I wasn't having because it was way too implausable of a story that I was gonna drive 14 hrs one way to hang out for a few days with a bunch of guys I met on line.I'm just sayin'.

    Ummm wait this is just wrong because that makes me an accomplice to an affair instead of a trip with my Brother to go fishin. I feel so dirty now.

  4. By supporting competition the consumer wins. When you buy a Ford do you only use factory oil filter and oil or do you buy a better priced or better made item? I haven't paid the extra price of the Mercedes boxed parts since I found I could bulk buy the same parts overseas at over 40% savings including shipping.

  5. I hear yaa I am guilty of buying knifes and tools. I love a good working knife and spent $225.00 on a sharpening system called the Wicked Edge. I even thought I was nuts for that purchase until I sharpened my first knife with it. Man O Man it can raise an edge that will cut you just looking at it. After hitting it with the 1200 diamond hone looking thru a magnify glass it is smooth as glass.

  6. Maybe it`s just me but for the life of me I can`t understand why anyone would need a 150.00-200.00 reel for icefishing! :Gonefishing:

     

    Sometimes it not a need... just a want. We all have a cost limit and it is different for each item as it fits into our life. I would not give you a quarter for the best cup of coffee but will pay 1.75 for a Pepsi with no issues. Ice fishing has little value to me because it is a cold weather sport but I will spend over $1,000.oo to fish in Canada when it is warm. Go figure Eh?
