Well that was a terrible end of a good work week, when I was on my way home, I got 4 streets away from my house, I was going about 30 mph someone pulled out in front of me, I hit them hard, neither car was driveable. I ended up with a sprained right wrist That just might be the end of my Chevy HHR. No one in the other car was hurt, it has been quite some time sense i was in a wreck, still a bit frazzled.

I thought I should do a follow up post of this, my wrist is getting better, still a bit sore. I just got the news today that my HHR is now totaled. I am going to get $6000.00 for it, which is pretty good, it had 108,000 miles. I think it could have lasted me several more years, I hate car shopping though, luckily I have been saving up for my next car right after I bought it, so I should be able to do it without a loan. Here is the last pics of my poor HHR. :(

Wow it did some damage. Fingers crossed you find another one you want.

I was a bit surprised when I went to get some of my stuff out of it on Tuesday, they had the hood open, and part of the engine compartment had been crumpled. I then also noticed that the right side front fender was also damaged, I knew it was totaled when I saw all of that. It is just a thing that is replaceable, and I will be fine. Just getting a new vehicle a bit sooner than I was planning.

KAS

I still am planning on buying another, REV 3A BB on the 26th, if one is still available. :)

I like the fact we can buy whenever. Instead of the rush on Saturday. as it is, the only one I am missing is the elbarto but it would only be for completeness and it's not available so my wallet is safe. :p

Yeah I like that one, after my last purchase, I have one of each color. While my old RPG was down, I was using my black one instead, I never dropped it, it was in my holster or in my hand. Somehow it got a super tiny scratch, so I will get another one if I can. The same thing happened to my Red, I have no idea how it happened. I don't have a holster for it so if it leaves the house I wrap it in 2 layers of soft paper towels, with 2 rubber bands around it to protect the finish. I know that is weird,:oops: but it worked for the most part. I think gremlins did it while I was sleeping. If I could get another red one I would. I might have to settle for a red REV 4. :unsure:

I got a stack of these (one for each) and they are great. Soft enough to protect without hurting the boxes.

$1.49 Protective Double-Layer Lint Pouch for Electronic Cigarettes - 128*78mm / w/ carabiner clip at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

My problem with holsters is that most of them create their own rub marks on the boxes.

Yeah I know there are better options, its just that I have paper towels and rubber bands, the one holster I have is a loose fit, very high quality one from serenity gear. I have been meaning to get a few more, just keeps getting put off.

KAS

It's always a toss up ....... holsters vs another BB hahahahahahaha

Well its not really just the BB's I have been buying, I have been buying parts for my REO's, BVC coils, and 4 oz bottles of flavorings, for DIY. I am also starting to play with other flavoring companies like Capella, flavor west, and Inawera. There is no word on the flavorings being restricted but I don't want to take any chances. TFA and Flavor Art are the 2 companies I have used the most of, but I want to try some of the others. Flavor art is a bit of a pain, because they come shipped in plastic bottles, so I have to transfer them to glass, which means I am buying bottles also. :|

I feel your pain. I have been stocking up for as long as I can remember, just in case the gov decides to ban it.

Although........Our regulators have gone quiet and we are waiting for the TGA (equivalent of the FDA) to make its recommendations.
