the '87 volvo station wagon still has some miles left in it, but in about six months i'll be driving back and forth to charlotte a couple times a week from greensboro and i'm not sure i trust it for any real length of time, so i'm going to suspend my cheapskate tendencies and rigid adherence to a budget that doesn't involve new things and go ahead and buy one. what should i get?

 

gas milage is important, i'd like something with good maintenance records, i've never driven an actual nice vehicle in my life so it'd be nice to get something halfway decent, preferably a manual transmission, under $10k if possible (i'd go over a few grand if it was really worth it.)

 

whatcha got

honda fit

basically a clown car... i fit so much poo in my '07. back seats fold flat, which was a major selling point to me. since the wife and i go to several camping festivals a year, we had to be able to pack a ton of poo in the car.

i average about 38mpg's... on the road trips i can pull 42-45. just rolled 150k miles last weekend and have had zero necessary work done outside of regular maintenance. my brother bought an '09 and has had the exact same results with his

      This is a question.  Could Coby White be a solid replacement for Ball? Seems he could be an upgrade. Seems he played well in replacement of Ball.  I normally get the highlights and don't get to see any games but I liked when White was on on the court.

      This Video was Eye Opening To me

      Honestly, the guy does a TON of good research. His videos are always high quality and his insight is always stellar.  This video however changed my mind...dramatically about the draft.  Anyone who's seen my opinions knows Im a all in BPA guy, HOWEVER, this kind of changed my mind...Im now a BPA...at position of value dictated by the board.  A lot of words to say, weighted average is important. We all all know that having a good qb on a rookie contract is important, but what about a good edge...or reciever...or tackle?  THOSE things make a different and this opened my eyes to that.  With that said, not that I think we SHOULD go receiver in the first, HOWEVER, IT DOES MAKE SENSE.  If you have good young recievers coming in on rookie contracts, then you have more to build the rest of the roster at a lower cost.  If we were a team loaded at Receiver then things would be different, however, we only truly have 2 reliable WRs, so would another Receiver be a bad pick...I actually dont think so now based on value going forward.  Its just something to consider for everyone.

      Benjamin Solak on Panthers draft needs

      Yeah, it's fool's gold. Darnold always had the tools. He just needed a tram with an elite D, a top 5 WR, and a Super Bowl MVP RB to carry him so he wouldn't be asked to press where he becomes a turnover machine. Darnold settled in once he was in a situation where he could just be a very talented game manager. People try to tell themselves Bryce can do that without realizing that Darnold still forces the D to respect the throws he can make that the coaches would rather he not attempt where as Bryce simply doesn't have the physical ability to force that respect opening up other opportunities. Like Parcells said leading up to the draft that based on his physical tool set "he better walk on water". What he was politely trying to say is that Bryce simply doesn't have an NFL physical tool set.
