    I lease 2 hondas both from Curry in Yorktown, the dealership and salespeople are great but Honda corp and Honda Finance Suck! This is a long story and I could never type the whole thing out Bottom line I love the cars but the Corp I will not deal with every again. Know your credit score when you go in and shop around. Wrap up a matchbox hoda and give it to your wife, It will let her know you a buying her a new car and also see if thats the car she really wants you never know she might want the Ford

    I just wanted to add a little something to this thread. I live in a all volunteer town I would love to see them go to a paid dept, Who should these paid jobs go to, young people who live in the town and want to be paid firefighters. Would people mind the tax increase of course they would but as small towns grow to medium size towns I feel this is something that must be done, I pay for everything else where I live why not fire protection Just a thought

    I'm a union FF and a Union electrician I do not work as a union electrician anymore

    because I cannot be on the jobsite a full week, do not bash the union guys who work on their own most of them have to in order to afford to live around here. Now I know a volly who is going to say (see I told you, they preach unionism and work non union on their days off) This is how I feel towards the Vol fire service, On my days off maybe I can come and take your job for free I do really good electrical,carpentry and plumbing work.

    Yes I know I am getting off track what I am trying to say is ,why buy a very expensive tower ladder when you cannot use it to its full potential, for example if you district is a small 1or 2 story ranch houses with no hydrants how are you going to supply an elevated master stream (min of 350GPM) YES all Depts need an aerial device but it does not have to be the soup to nuts tower ladder. Question ? Do any Depts outside of the larger cities have a rear mount aerial. This is my last post on this subject Sorry to get off topic

    What I am saying is if my fire respose area was made up of 98% 1 or 2 story buildings I would want money spent on Tankers or engines that could delivery water faster on the fire. Remember you are talking to firefighters on this board not JOE public that you are making a presentation to about buying a new tower ladder. I know if I worked or volenteered in a small town I would better serve the public with a new tanker then a new tower ladder Just my 2cents
