I think that on several points (as often happenens with such "polls") the balloting for "readers' choice" was made biased by repeated voting by the same individuals or that most of those ballots came from a small, like-minded group. I don't believe the readers choice results reflect the realities of opinions of CAS-knowageable folks.

Oh honky wash IMHO :lol:

Right - I looked at that list and said to myself - guess the magazine is trying to peddle the goods of those who slipped a few bucks under the table :D

I can see the Thunderer being a reader's choice award. At a shoot my wife was using her Lightning revolvers (smaller version of the Thunderer) and wasn't able to borrow a leather rig so was staging her pistols before shooting. Because of this, they were more visible to people, and she got lots of questions about them. I think it's the birds head grip.

CHEVROLET= Constantly Having Every*Vehicle*Recalled Over Lousy

Engineering Techniques

 

 

CHEVROLET= Can Hear Every Valve Rattle On Long Extended Trips.

 

 

CHEVROLET= Cheap, Hardly Efficient, Virtually Runs On Luck Every Time.

 

 

CHEVROLET= Cracked Heads, Every Valve Rattles, Oil Leaks Every Time.

 

 

CHEVROLET= Can Hear Every Valve Rattle, Oil Leaks, Engine Ticks.

 

 

CHEVROLET= Cheap Heavy Equipment, Very Rusty, Overly Loved, Eventually

Towed

 

 

CHEVY= Cheapest Heap Ever Visioned Yet

 

 

GMC= Garage Man's Companion

 

 

GMC= Garbage Manufacturing Company

 

 

GMC= Gotta Mechanic Coming

 

 

GM= General Mistake

 

 

GM= Glued Metal

 

 

Ashes to ashes,

dust to dust.

If it wasn't for our Chevy's,

our tools would rust.

 

 

From the past 10 years, about 95% of Chevy trucks are still on the

road. The rest made it home.

 

 

Have you seen the new speed limit signs? They say "Speed limit 65,

Chevys-do the

best you can"

 

 

Thats not a leak, my Chevy's just marking its territory.

 

 

Buy a Chevy and you buy the best. Drive the first mile and walk the

rest.

 

 

I could never keep a Chevy under me, I was always under the Chevy.

 

 

Speed Kills, Drive a Chevy and live forever.

 

 

A Texan was talking big in a bar one night about how much money he

had, how

many women he had been with and how much land he owned. A young man,

growing tired of all the big talk finally asked the Texan, "Just how

much land do you actually own"? The Texan tipped back his cowboy hat

and said to the young

man " Well sonny let me put it to ya like this, I can get in my pickup

at sunrise, drive all day long, skip lunch and still not get to the

other side of my property by sundown". The young man shot back

quickly, " Oh yeah, I know what you mean, I used to own a Chevy truck

too"!

 

 

 

 

"Chevy, built like a rock and runs like one too."
