Mr Mercedes SLR is dramatically more important than other people, so when he came down off the expressway ramp onto I-88, it was not going to be necesary for him to match his speed to other drivers and merge, he simply zoomed past them at his own chosen speed in the safety lane. This manouvere earned him the coveted and exclusive Concrete Bridge Abutment at Speed in Excess of 100MPH award. It was almost worth the traffic jam he caused, to see him standing on the side of the road, actually crying over his beautiful car. And he had a Geico sticker on it, which made me glad, because it meant his ignorance wasn’t going to increase MY insurance cost.

mrs Taurus waited until I was pinned behind her, and then proceeded to take exactly one mile to accelerate from 0 to 30 mph. Kudzu grows faster. I would have liked to take her lovely auburn hair and tie it in a knot in front of her eyes, but she’d still probably be able to see well through the 3″ of snow-white roots. The skullet on her husband was most impressive, though it was time for him to change the oil in it.

Aside from having a grand old time and making several people laugh till they were out of breath (A huge compliment, thank you all) I snagged a copy of the 10th edition of “Cartridges” from Tam, which is way better than my dog eared Third edition, and I saw a big old wad of cartridges from Dave L at Cancer Ward (Sorry, I got the guy and the link wrong earlier) who was offering for collectors. He had some great stuff, but all calibers I already have, so maybe some of you could do some horse trading with him.

I intend to take this through it’s first iteration as a full length 15, with a standard barrel, flattop reciver, and one of those Bushnell Facogs. I’ll buy innards where I find them cheaply, and no doubt I’ll fart around with stocks & stuff.

I won’t be making anything special, just a gun to shoot and have fun with. What I want to know from you lot, is what non-major-expense item do you find indispensable? In other words, is the $17 dollar Whizbang Ambi safety a billion times better than the $11 “regular” safety? Is the trigger group from CMMG smoother and crisper out of the box than the similarly priced one from Bingbong Industries? Can I buy an indestructible barrel for $12 more than the barrel I’ll have to replace 20 times?

These are my burning questions, and I welcome all information.
