  1. I'm of the opinion that you are more likely to find an overpriced 1911 these days than a piece of shit. 1911's got the reputation of being very fidgety from poor build quality, but in the past 10-15 years their popularity has skyrocketed, and as a result the manufacturers collectively got their shit in line. I bought a fullsize Rock Island a couple years back, I've put maybe 4,000 rounds through it, and it only gives me trouble when I go about 1,500 rounds between cleanings, it gets to the point where I have to tap the slide closed. Otherwise, its only jammed twice, once was the first mag I ran through it, the other was when someone else was shooting it and limpwristing. Otherwise, its been perfect and is far more accurate than I am. I paid $350 for it and couldn't be happier unless I move up into Wilson Combat territory.
  2. This. I think after 2 or 3 reported bites or attacks a dog will be put down by animal control
  3. The letter should work. Just keep trying dealerships until one helps you
  4. I heard once that 5mm was .22 MAG. Anyone know for sure?
  5. When is the nexus release date?
  6. hah, I meant to say kitchen that's what I get for not proofreading
  7. time to go old school and park it in the garage Paul, if you have cracked pastics I should be able to repair them for you, then you'll just have to have it painted. Way cheaper than replacing them, so you can save up to buy a new quad. fgt
  8. I got a brand new torpedo type reddy heater off ebay last year, and out of the box it won't fire up. Sometimes it will shoot kerosene, but not always, and won't light at all. Fan spins, and the heater element comes on, but the spray isn't consistent. Ideas?
  9. I thought this was going to be about Coleman getting reelected :dumb: but yeah, they need to realize at all levels of government that the people can't afford their tax burden as it is. Something has got to give.
  10. I'm guessing 15% of the state population voted. Nothing going on at the national level so the only people that care are the people that REALLY care.
  11. I'm also looking to get a heater fixed. I've got a kerosene Reddy heater that won't run. At this point I'd like to just take it somewhere to get it worked on but have no clue where to go. Who works on these around here?
  12. Sounds to me like that kid isn't coming over again, and your kids no longer have a basketball court for not stopping their friend.
  13. Sure. Groups like ACORN would go out and find these people and drag them to the polls
  14. Without the welfare system, the democrats would have no voters. They promote irresponsible breeding for that one simple fact.
  15. For year round, BMW 330xi or 335xi, dunno what can be had for the money these days for strictly play toy, M3 or Challenger
  16. the gun show might be the fun show, but its also the overpriced show
  17. Here's a list of what I can remember off the top of my head that affect your credit score: Length of time for accounts, the longer the better Bankruptcy Divorce (i think, not positive on that) Foreclosure Late payments Missed payments Debt to income ratio Credit available to credit used ratio (credit cards, how deep you are on them) The average of your credit limits. The higher the credit limits on your cards, the better. Say you have $20,000 total limit between your credit cards. You are better off having that split between two $10,000 cards than twenty $1,000 cards. Making a payment to a line of credit that is through a real bank (not a utility company, or buy here pay here car lot, etc) means that every month they report to the credit reporting agencies your current standing. Student loans and medical bills also report. So long as you aren't late or missing payments, then every month it comes back saying you are in good standing. In reality, you don't actually have to be putting anything on to credit cards at all, or carrying a balance, or any of that like some people say. The key is using it once in a while, because it looks bad on banks to have cards not in use, so they have started closing accounts on people that don't use the cards at all. Using it for something that you buy on a regular basis like gas means that you don't forget to use it here and there, but also that you will be more likely to pay it off every month since the money is already budgeted. Once you have enough of a credit history, its easy these days to get cards with points or cash back or something like that, so you end up saving a little bit more money that way. After a couple of years of good credit, you will start to see 0% interest offers in the mail almost daily. These can have their uses, but if you might be tempted to use them to buy shit you don't need, just toss them. Really, the average person should only be using borrowed money for a house and car, and even the car is arguable. Credit cards are only a process to get to that point. Car loans certainly also work but require a larger commitment, which is why I'm not recommending them as part of the process. I will say though, buying a car at a buy here pay here and using them as the lender only keeps you stuck in the circle of no credit/bad credit, and should be altogether avoided unless you are buying the car outright. also, triple post
  18. Having no credit is worse than bad credit. Being an unknown factor means lending institutions have no idea what you will do with loaned money. At least with bad credit they have an idea, and will crank up your interest rate so they can make back their money in the beginning, assuming you will default. Do you have an established bank account anywhere? If you have been with one bank for a while, I would go talk to them about getting a credit card through them. If you have been with them long enough they may go ahead and get you approved for a card, or they may have some sort of program for people with no credit. Like I said in the previous post, the credit limit is irrelevant at this time, only use it to buy gas and pay it off in full, on time, every month. Give it a year like this without being late and you will have the credit to go out and buy a car you can't afford to make payments on, because thats how credit works :fuckyeah:
  19. Freecreditreport.com is a scam, they make you sign up for their triple advantage which charges a monthly fee. First, pay down all your debts. When that's paid off, pull your credit report with one of the three reporting agencies. You can pay a couple bucks to do this or go through the free government (.gov) website once a year. Use that report to find any remaining negative marks and call whoever left them, explain the debt is paid and ask to have it removed. Once all your debt is gone and your report is clean, you can build credit. Easiest way is to get a credit card, and card so long as its a real one and not a debit card or something, but one designed to charge interest. Use it to buy all of your gas and nothing else, and pay it off in full every month. Making payments every month and, more importantly, not being late, is what builds credit the fastest. Just be sure to do the steps in order. You can't clear out bad records without the debt paid off, and its harder to get a new card if you don't already have one if you have negatives on your report. If you already have a card just use it. Don't cancel cards or bank accounts, length of accounts helps.
