I realised today that I have taken part in a stupid argument that is off topic for this thread. My apologies to all. I hope there are no hard feelings. If you think about it, people have their own tastes and purposes for both cars and firearms. If you are a collector and a fan of the 45ACP, there is no doubt that your collection would have several 1911's. If you are in modern law enforcement, you may (or maybe not) have several Glocks or Sigs. Personally, I have one of each. As for the car side of things, my baby is my Oldsmobile Cutlass 442. I wouldn't trade it for the world. One factory wheel costs more than most used cars in my city. On the other hand, I more often drive my 1999 Chevrolet Metro. (What can I say? I am a GM man.) Is it that all I could afford was a Metro? No. I run a local finance corporation as well as my own online advertising business. Do I need to be flashy to drive the 2 miles to work in my small city with a population of about 5000 people? No. What I needed was 60 miles per gallon to make frequent trips to Las Cruces and Albuquerque, as well as an occasional cross country haul. It's pretty nice to take a 3000 mile round trip to see my family with the air conditioning on for around $60. I could probably swing that new Cadillac I would like, but that might start to cut into my gun money and I don't quite need a third car until my fiance and I start building our family. Again, I apologize and I feel foolish for letting a poor comparison get the best of me. Friends?
