Afternoon Jay!! I saw the perfect shopping strip for you. There's two stores. I'll have to get a picture of the sign and send it to you.

Close. Sex shop on one side and Red Wing Boots next door (only two in the building). The sign reads "Get your boots on here."

Had an interesting surprise from a vendor today. We ordered an 8 channel 1 TB DVR and the box was labelled properly for that order. The contents were a 16 channel 500GB DVR. WTF?

I bet there were a few lemon 7.3s as well. It also depends on what you do and how you maintain it.

I'd take a 6.0 that's been properly taken care of any day. Of course, with my luck, I'd be the first one to break it.
Hope Troy keeps the 7.3 tow truck to help you 6.0 guys get back home
