Well now they require a credit card with a billing address, pin #, & 4 digit security code. When I get time I'll tell everyone why I hate banks so much (one or more of many stories).

Works for me.
Notice it's the only thread I'm bumping here, in spite of the fact that I could bump the hood vent thread to tell folks about the STM hood vent being ready (which I probably will soon anyway), or the "Driven Visions" thread, or the several other threads that I've been trying to sell parts on that I still have.
Thanks for the bump.

OK here are SOME of the examples of why I hate banks.
1) After the freakin' thieves stole everything I had (long story if you don't know it I'm not going into it here), I had to sell my river front property in Al. Got a CERTIFIED check for 20 grand. Tried to cash it at several local banks & they WOULD NOT CASH IT. Even though they could call to verify that it was real, they said it could still have a "stop payment" put on it. It's a FREAKIN' C-E-R-T-F-I-E-D CHECK. A CERTIFIED check is SUPPOSED to be GUARANTEED good. Had to drive out of town to cash it at the local bank branch it was written on, & had trouble doing that EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE SAME BANK BRANCH that the guy had his account at & that WROTE the damn thing.

2) Had checking at one bank. Deposited my paycheck & wrote three checks for $18, $20, & $28 & sent them through the mail. They bounced them - all three. Then they run them through again & bounced them again - & TRIED TO CHARGE ME TWENTY-FIVE BUCKS for each time they bounced them ($150)! Seemed my paycheck had not cleared. OK, so that's understandable. The second time they ran the paycheck it cleared. While I was trying to straighten this out I got my statement. The statement clearly showed BY THEIR OWN TIMESTAMP that my paycheck had cleared BEFORE THEY BOUNCED THE THREE CHECKS THE FIRST TIME!!! So I went back to the bank to straighten it out again. They said I had to talk to the manager, & she wasn't there. So I went back: for the next three weeks I went back 4 or 5 times a week AT DIFFERENT TIMES DURING THE DAY & she was never there. Then I finally caught her. We went through the account & I showed her my statement where it proved that my paycheck had cleared BEFORE they bounced the checks. She looked it up on the computer & then said - get this - that the computer didn't show that because SHE COULD NOT GO BACK THAT FAR ON THE ACCOUNT ON THE COMPUTER BECAUSE IT WAS OVER A MONTH. Never mind that I had the statement in my hand PROVING MY CASE, she said I had to PAY THE $150. Odd: I thought computers were capable of keeping track of things a little longer than THIRTY FREAKIN' DAYS!!! I told her I was NOT going to pay it & the bank put on my credit report that the account was "forced closed" & I owed them the money.

3) A few months later I tried to open a SAVINGS account with $1,000. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS in CASH to be deposited in a SAVINGS account. After getting all my personal info & checking my CREDIT, they REFUSED to let me open a SAVINGS account!!! It's freakin' CASH money. I can't write bad checks with a SAVINGS account - what the hell were they afraid of??? Then the WITCH had the gall to say they were going to KEEP MY PERSONAL INFORMATION! What the hell for? I was NOT GOOD ENOUGH for them to take ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS OF MY CASH MONEY but they were going to KEEP MY PERSONAL INFORMATION? I don't think so. She refused to give me the paper with my info on it so I snatched the paper out of her hand & left.

4) Finally had to sell the property where the thieves ruined my life. They had hit me THREE times, & the ONLY way to protect it was stay at home & I had run out of money to do that. BTW the police did NOTHING. I sold it & got a CERTIFIED check for the amount of my equity. Went to the bank branch WHERE THE CHECK WAS WRITTEN - the MANAGER of the bank had been at the closing - & they REFUSED TO CASH IT & give me another certified check for most of the amount & give me 6% of the check in cash!!! ALL I WAS ASKING FOR WAS A LOUSY 6%. (the manager was not there at the time) So I went back the next day & talked to the manager. They STILL gave me a hard time trying to do that so I said OK just GIVE ME THE FULL AMOUNT IN CASH - I DO NOT WANT TO EVER DEAL WITH THIS BANK AGAIN. They claimed they didn't keep that much cash - yeah right it wasn't THAT much & it's a FREAKIN' BANK. They said they would call me when they had the money; to give them THREE days. The next day they called me & said they had the cash so I went & got it. That was the LAST time I had anything to do with a bank as far as my personal life goes. (been dealing with my brother's account working on his cars)
And THAT is just four circumstances of WHY I HATE BANKS

You can pay me with Monopoly money but it might take a loooooong time to send out the parts.
Laid up the first STM hood vent last night & I think it'll be cured enough (put it out in the sun) to pop it tonight. Yours will be next (you were the first to pay with paypunks too).

They don't need much packaging; compared to most things sent through the mail, these parts are nearly indestructible.
Can't wait to see them on the car. Please take photos of the process. Send me a link so I can add a photo or two to my website.
Left feedback; Should have done it sooner - gotta get caught up on that...
Thanks,
