Twinmill,

No not really. This is the west.

More people out here have cowboy hats than backwards ball caps. Besides, it is polite to take your hat off indoors. What, are you born in a barn?
Sunglasses; really we are almost two MILES closer to the sun. Can you identify with UVA/B/C ?

Besides, if someone is stupid enough to try and stick up the CU, most of the customers have CCW and wouldn't even need to wake up the sleeping guard.

Yes, the banks and CU's do get robbed. The authorities have their pictures on the news before dye pack is even dry.

We live in a more friendly society out west, people who carry guns know that they can be polite, and the people that don't carry guns know they should be polite because they don't know who has a CCW.

Occasionally we get some newcomers, like after Hurricane Katrina, and some folks just don't fit in. They go back home (or to Denver) and leave us alone.

Right On Brother!

I also forgot to mention that the armed Security Forces at the gates can lock the base down before the robber would get anywhere near the gate has some deterrent effect on would-be criminals. This is on an active military base. Don't mess with a 19 yo with an automatic weapon. I learned that about 40 years ago.

Lock down the gates? C'mon--we've got 19 year olds with maybe two M9 training sessions under their belts, and that's if we're lucky enough not to have the rent-a-cops manning the gate.
We had some crazy bastard crash the gate at Hill last year and it took them 4 hours to find him on base after they activated the barrier. We can thank the clause in the rent-a-cop contract for prohibiting the guards from taking further action that would have let them catch the dude sooner.
I'm all for taking off glasses and hats and full body pat downs and strip searches with rubber gloves to prevent a$$ clowns from doing anything ignorant. Ok, maybe I draw the line at the pat downs, but you get the point.......

Credit unions are the way to go. I know quite a few people that have financed through their credit union and are very happy with what the CU would do for them. They offer more flexible terms, better interest rates and are basically making a loan on your credit more so than the vehicle. If you are a USAA member I have heard they are good to work with also.

Update....
I sort of laid back for a while and thought I'd try the Credit Union deal.
Just got off the phone with my old CU and they gave me approval for the highest NADA price at a super low rate! I couldn't beleive it!
I did get the "What the heck is a H1" story. They looked in NADA and could not find it any where. One of them said it must be a GMC. I sent them the URL address for the 1998-2001 NADA sheets and told them to google it under AM General. Got the call back in 5 minutes with the approval for twice what I was willing to pay! Dang... I like that!
Thanks Buds!

Some people self finance - meaning they take loans from their life insurance cash value, or 401K's, etc. and pay themselves back. The interest charged goes back into your account as well. You get the loan and regardless the interest rate, you are paying it to yourself. Typically there are time limit restrictions like a 10 year loan for housing and 5 years for vehicles/boats/etc.
