    Don't buy the warranty.....

    Interestingly enough you are correct and I'm glad you pointed it out, glow plugs and about 900 other things aren't covered by the warrantee. We never got far enough with it to discuss it with anyone because literally no one would entertain the idea of honoring it. The company that sold it has a...

    Don't buy the warranty.....

    My mom is a salesmans dream, she'll buy anything. I've got a couple uncles that have been in the car business forever and one does finance. About 2 years ago she got a cancer diagnosis and its not a real good long term prognosis. A few months later she buys a new Chevy SUV and her jackass...

    Don't buy the warranty.....

    Its long been my belief that aftermarket RV warrantees are scams, but this week that perception has been solidified. I'm helping a family friend sell a camper van, and admittedly its oddball because its a Sprinter van with a Mercedes Diesel and a factory motor home build. The dealership she...

    Weatherby Vanguard Fluted w/Brake $500

    I just picked one off their list that was the closest to me, was there another step to the process? Emailed them again today and they respond promptly, I'm sure it will all be fine but its one of those deals I feel like a guy needs to follow up on periodically to make sure you don't slip between...

    Things to do near West Yellowstone, MT

    Weatherby Vanguard Fluted w/Brake $500

    Shipping is free, ended up being $536 or something like that out the door. Sounds like their shipping department is slammed, which is probably to be expected, still waiting for mine to ship, but I’m not complaining.

    Long Term Care Insurance - Anyone Have Experience With Having Care Paid For?

    Never known anyone that collected. My Grandmother paid on a policy for 20 years and the company went insolvent. She got the money back she’d paid in premiums but at that point basically couldn’t get another policy. My moms policy has tried to buy her out several times. Dunno what the answer is...

    Bad taxidermy or high expectations?

    A couple years ago I got a white tail done by one of the better local guys, at the time he was $650 while everyone else was $550 and it was a 2 year wait. My buddy couldn't figure out why I didn't go to the $400 guy that got them done in 10 months. Not to insult your deer, but thats about what...

    2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 FYI

    I think the transmission shop I went to said they were doing torque converters for $1800, the entire transmission job I've heard that 4500-6500 range, the guys I know that have had theirs go was around 120k, most of the motors in those trucks I've seen go have been under 80k. I've only known one...
