    Currently, I've got two Classics (one belongs to a buddy of mine) and two Jags in our garage... Still have room for something else, but the wife will be headed out'a town if I were to pop on another one... I do have something in mind though. I think three sideways in the 2 car side might work.

    Yah, I guess I should! But, she'd probably make me sell some of my guns.

    Never, ever, ever! I made the mistake of selling some of my favorite handguns to pay for my son's continuing education here locally. Wasted effort it turned out. He ended up moving out to CA to stay with his Mom while attending a Culinary School. Ended up doing something he enjoys, but I wish he had made up his mind sooner. Gone, among others is my original, early Colt Delta Elite, Custom Springfield Armory Omega 10mm, an early Colt Gold Cup NM, Dan Wesson .357 SuperMag, and Dan Wesson .44 Mag. :sad:

    Well vetsvette, we need a crap button to go with the like button. He must have had some high tuition. Is he a chef of note and at a good place, I hope so.....

    Wowzer!

    He's doing okay, but still paying back his student loans. Back in the late 80's early 90's those handguns didn't bring anywhere near what they would today. And, no internet listing like gunbroker.com to use.

    Right on brother!

    I am in that spot of bleeding money and kids changing their minds. But I believe I was blessed with what I have so I could help them. So I may grump but I am glad I can help.
