I'm setting here thinking and I own a 3 on the tree, 2 4s in the floor, a 4 in the floor with a 2 speed split stick rearend, a motorcycle with 2 wheels (not 3 ) and a push button automatic.   Im just realizing I love variety no matter the hobby lol

We had Green Stamps when I was a kid. I remember the IGA Foods near my house always had a display set up w/ empty books and a big catalog tied down on a cord to look at to see what you'd buy.
