I always go through several banks to shop my best deal, if you don't give them competition they think they are doing you a favor by loaning you money , when in fact you are doing them a favor by borrowing money, without you they cannot turn a profit and stay in business (minus the govt bailouts of coarse)

Only trouble is everytime someone checks your credit it lowers you fica score by 10 points.

Talk about waiting. I've been waiting since May for some Kuryakyn red/black braided grips. Now they are telling me they don't expect any in until Sep or Oct. I'm cancelling the order. That's rediculous to have to wait that long for a pair of grips.

Patience is a virtue... but I still hate waiting myself. Thats what makes it so irritating sometimes going to the dealer, they dont stock what you want and expect you to wait for them to order it. Heck, I tell them if I wanted to wait I would have ordered it myself.
