    Toyota Rav 4 hybrid opinions?

    You'll love it and it will last a very long time. My 24 Prius is the best car I have ever owned, of over 100 with many being salvaged when I bought them. Currently averaging 65 MPG in my Prius.

    Guess I Won't Buy a Car Until Oct. 15

    I once read that it cost $600 for the raw materials to build a Ford Explorer. If you tax that at 100% it would only add a few percentage points to the total selling price of $25k a long time ago. Tariffs on imports when we import 10 times what we export are an effective deterrent to that...

    Young Brothers Massacre, A tactical expert opinion.

    Kind of disingenuous to use a statement made in a completely different context to make someone look stupid. Great example character assassination, but only at someone else's expense. Out in a field with a lot of open spaces surrounding the structure with a clear field of fire? Not even close.

    I need advice on grips for my K22 Masterpiece.

    Rode to a shop with my brother today. Picked up these grips (Cokes?). Thought they would fit my K22 (1958) Masterpiece. They fit but are not right for the gun probably for a larger frame (N?). Anyway I have no gun of that type and I paid $20 for the grips. The grips on my K22 are later vintage...

    AND ANOTHER CALIBER WAR !

    My wife is sleeping with another Man or Woman? I'd buy them a box of Cuban cigars, and thank both of them for my new $2500 per month raise in retirement pay. Hint : she has a much better retirement INCOME than I. :ROFLMAO: I'd buy an airstream trailer and weld it to the hull of a huge pontoon...

    Pawn shops Are Great Places To Shop

    I recently stopped at two Pawn shops and found two nice bargains, both new. A scope for my .308 rifle for $50 less than Bass Pro at $79.98 and a Colt Python for $1299 at another. They always like cash and I try to develop a good relationship with the owners who are willing to give me a good...

    Somewhat late

    I read the auction listing Mike and my mother's mother was in Baltimore and had the flu in 1918. Her father whose last name was Crockett, had shipped a coffin to Baltimore from his home in eastern Virginia for her body to be returned in. There was a shortage of coffins and bodies were piling up...

    So this gun went to a West point senior? Is there a range of serial number sequence? Each would have a unique serial number?
