OT: Showcars/Bodyparts, since it's slow

Tell vendors not to charge the credit card until the item is ready to 
ship. (When you charge an item on VISA etc the vendor can have VISA put 
$XX on "hold" for the vendor and process the actual charge later.) If 
the item is charged and does not arrive promptly, dispute the item on 
the credit card bill within the time required. If the matter is resolved 
against the vendor VISA will suck that money right out of the vendor's 
account and credit it to your account.
