Just swallow your pride .. buy a camry and you'll save so much on gas you will forget the monthly bill which also isn't that much.

We'll be paying cash, so there won't be a monthly payment. I'm looking for an SUV to replace my Explorer but did drive a Camry... nice car, but I like my wife's 2005 Focus better.

drive an accord v6, not a huge fan of the big 3 but stay with ford if you must. They are the only merican brand I would consider buying..

I like the 08-10 Explorers, but would like to improve gas mileage if I can; Explorer now gets 13-15, so it won't be hard to improve 25-30%. I like the Equinox, but the used (and new) prices seem way high for a small/mid size. Would love something with switchable 4WD... most crossovers and small SUVs anymore seem to either be AWD or automatic switching. Would like to stay under $23K or so for an 08-10 w/ features, and should easily be able to by staying patient.

That should be pretty easy.

Explorers don't really hold their value all that well anyway.

Word. We both like the Highlander as well, and a Highlander/Pilot may be the route we end up going. I wouldn't mind staying with an American vehicle, but their SUVs in that size just don't seem to compare in terms of valuation and mileage.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
