I just hope your AD does NOT play that trick on you that an AD did with "Miner":

Well I went to look at it and of course fell in love.

So I left to think about it for a while, then decided I would call him and ask what he would take on a cash deal.(thinking of course he could not discount at all). He said "well I know its not much but I will take $5474.00 and ship it to you so you can save on tax".......HOLY SHIT!!!! Are you kidding me....


Im on my way out the door right now. I wont have pics for a couple of days but I am so excited!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding Robb. I guess you'll need to get rid of your other GMT to make room for the new one. I'll pm you with my address so you can send it right over. Congrats! I'm happy for you.

Your right Larry. When I asked about a discount, I thought he would laugh at me but he got out the calculator and said "I know its not much but I can do $5474." Before he got the words out of his mouth, I said I'll take it!!!!
