No offense to the poster above but you(the op) should have requested that only those with experience should post. If the above poster has a horror story OF HIS OWN not his cousin or guy at the Burger King or the dude who drives the Talon then he should share it. Not his opinon. No offense, lol.

To the OP, do some searching there are tons of threads on this.
