    Very cool! Always nice to get some good loads going. To me, it definitely seems to go in streaks. Especially this year, for some reason.

    I am glad really for you and you should never feel bad about getting things for free......... they want it gone and you want it........... why would anyone feel bad about that?

    well I'm feeling bad, quite cheesed off actually.
    $20 for a 30 pack of beer? that's just great, no wonder half the yanks I see on youtube
    have a can in hand mid winter.

    we pay $40 for 24!
    it's a good thing we're surrounded by water.

    Yeah, rotors, bearings, and brakes are no place to take chances, specially with a family and a load
