Is that a Chinese copy of Knob Creek or something?
Thank God for Bourbon. It provides some of the casks in which whisky is aged.
And please tell me you know the difference between a Chevette and a Chevelle. One need not be a snob to know that one. The last few Chevelles I saw were racing in Bomber Stock class at a local 3/8 mile track, and I was eating nachos and a corn dog, while drinking Coors.
A new Ford truck can be had for about 50% of a Porshe give or take. My 12 year old one costs about the same as that gun; rides nice; looks nice; drives through snow and I'd take it cross country in 1 second. Not to mention unlike a porshe I can actually fit in it. You tell me what a 10000 dollar shotgun can do that a 400 dollar one can't?
Having driven over 1000 miles straight, in several different vehicles at different places and times, I assure you that the trip in the Porsche was far and away the most pleasant one, as well as far and away the most fun. It was an old Porsche, but like a nice shotgun, the way it felt stood up well to the tests of time, even if some of its parts were worn. They actually have great leg room, without the problem of having to fit an engine in front. The low seating position with stretched-out legs made the trip really comfortable, whereas a truck seat makes my glutes fall asleep after a few hours.
And as for a shotgun, well, the guy who took gold in International Skeet in Beijing was shooting a DT-10, not an 870 or 500, so there's something. I own an 870, and I don't have a DT-10, BTW. Furthermore, I don't care what anyone ELSE has; I decide what I like, what's worth it to me, and what I can afford. It's good that you can say, "I can't afford X." Too many Americans
can't say that, and it's gotten us all into some deep crap lately.
Just pissed me off that the only place near there with any guns on their wall is that one of all things and when I called were like it was a dumb question that I asked if they had any guns on display.
I admit, I do sound like that when I talk, sometimes. But I can turn it off when I write... And it wasn't the smartest question anyone ever asked, either... I might have asked the same thing, but if I did, I wouldn't be surprised that it made me sound like a rube, and I'd just suck it up, like a grownup with a sense of humor.
This isn't about snobbery -- imagine someone with New York plates driving into the parking lot at Talladega Superspeedway and asking the first person he sees, "Hey, is this where the car races are?"
Seriously, if you don't want to invite gentle mockery, then perhaps you should consider not starting a thread the way you did, or digging yourself deeper and deeper. And watch how dogs or wolves behave in a pack. There's a lot to learn from that.
Have a nice day. (And don't expect anyone in New York City to say, "Have a nice day", unless you relish disappointment.)
