in my opinion, and with the way the rules play out in Canada anyway, unless you have a business or something that you can write off those monthly lease payments, there is no advantage to leasing a vehicle. yes, you can argue that the monthly payments are typically lower so you can afford to drive a nicer vehicle, but you never own anything and essentially rent the vehicle for the length of the term. Then you need to worry about mileage and damage etc. If you can't afford the monthly purchase payments on a vehicle, I'd suggest buying slightly used or getting a lower value new vehicle. I got caught up on leasing back in the day when money was very tight, and basically lost every penny put in.

Doesn't really matter.

If you like having a new car and don't like dealing with older, higher mileage issues, a lease is fine.

It is NOT an investment. A 10 year old car is worth diddly.

That said, I have only owned one new car, the one I currently drive, it is 9 years old.

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      By OldhamA · Posted

      They have end-of-season physicals and they're, essentially, owned by the team. Sure this could be an issue they picked up in January and he refused the surgery then, but the small print of his contract would also oblige the team not to pay him.  I don't think we're stupid enough to let him holistically heal a neck injury, so this is almost certainly a new one.

      Sounds encouraging.  I agree about the LB....I was CERTAIN second round would be a LB.  I would also like to add that, on paper, DL looked solid--but only 1 performed well in 2025 (2 if you count Robinson, who is now gone).  I am guessing they feel that the LB play will improve with the improvement up front--logical.  Remember the old rule (not sure who said it first) "You build from the inside out, front to back."   We drafted, in my early opinion, a starting NT and C this year.  inside out, front to back.
