<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7917667, member: 100459"]I started my banking with a North Carolina Bank (NCNB). I was in the Army then and they gave me free banking due to my Military Service. However, when I got out, I lost all of my banking with NCNB. My car was a 1968 Rambler that had absolutely no accessories, i.e. air conditioning. My 6 month old daughter had some breathing problems and her pediatrician recommended that I get a car with A/C. I traded my 1968 Rambler for a 1970 Mercury Monterey. Luckily, a cousin of my wife worked at the dealership and I got a great deal. It had Air, Tilt Wheel, a 390 engine, and much more. I worked at a convenience store and got off at 11P and drove home. There was a dip in the road and I was "flying" home at 95 MPH. My wife's father lived on the road and I had to pass his home to get to our home. As I mentioned, I was "flying" home and passed an NC HP. I saw him in my rear view mirror turning around. I had to go around a curve and it put me out of sight to the NC HP. I turned into my father-in-laws driveway and behind the house, turning all the lights in the car. The NC HP went up and down that road looking for me, but, to no avail. I never, ever did that again.</p><p>Anyway, when I bought the Mercury, I financed it with Wachovia. Because I started to school at our local Community College, they gave me free banking. After the Mercury was paid for, I was able to join the North Carolina State Employees Credit Union. As long as I kept a balance of $100, I had access to other services. That was in 1972. I am still banking with them. Many of the tellers were high school students at the school she was teaching and they got to know me.
