    Lookin cool isn't worth 3500.00 a month to me now but 25 years ago it probably would have been in today's market.
    The information and education available today wasn't around when I started and people just dived in blind and sank or swam ...I failed several times for various reasons but in this day and age I see people throwing caution to the wind without looking at the ebbs and flows of the industry and out for the quik buck .
    My mistakes of years past have made me very conservative even in the best of times cause the best times are only temporary.
    It's also taught me get with an old solid carrier you are happy with and stay there .

    Blood bath time. All the bozos that bought 4+ year old trucks at $200k+ are going to really feel the squeeze.

    Let me know if you need more evidence of 4 packs. I see them all the time. lol.

    I don't think you'd look as good in it as the girl. Jus' saying, maybe save your money buddy.

    I have a line I don't cross when it comes to beer, if it has Bud Light, or Clamato in it, that line has been crossed. But like @D.Tibbitt I'll salute you from afar with my own. Blue Moon is tasty when on draft. Currently my beer of choice is Tequila. ;)
