I ordered a new laptop on 11/23 and had it delivered (w/prime) the next day for free.  (Yes, I know, there are no free lunches). It arrived as promised. It's very rare for them to be slow shipping - course they use "outside" companies for some products LarryT On 12/9/2017 5:16 PM,

Re: [MBZ] RIP My 91 300D

Correct.  It's where the rear suspension attaches to the body. The shop said they could separate the body from the suspension using a pry bar - it was completely detached on the passenger side. Max gave me some great suggestions for getting it out of my driveway.   Not sure what I'll be doing

Re: [MBZ] OT - Next Pistol Purchase

I bought a new FS92 at a gun show and it's a great gun.  It runs thru 9mm ammo of any kind whether sore bought on home reloaded.  I even started using cast bullets without issues. If you find the 92 you want I don't think you'll be disappointed. LarryT 91 300D On 11/07/2017 3:11 PM,
