Cool.  [thumbsup]

I was all set to buy a brand spankin' new sled this week since we have an unprecedented amount of snow here in MN already. But, I only have half the jing to put down. After an exhaustive search of bank interest rates, it seems nobody wants to offer what I consider a reasonable rate on one (i.e. sub-5%). The rates that the manufacturer is offering are apparently unattainable (despite - or because of - my credit score being 820+).

Argh.

I guess I sit inside and wait until I can pay cash.  >:(  :P

That's because they have loooooong winters.

And vodka.
