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

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Been here since middle school right when it started around 2003 after the charlotte.com one. Living outside of Carolina it was tough to find good Panthers content, news or analysis. And no one to talk to about it. This place gave me a lot though I don’t often post. In the later days, I particularly Loved PhillyB’s write ups. They were fire. Too bad I go let it go. I appreciate the hell out of @MHS831 @TheSpecialJuan @Jackie Lee and others who have been posting great content and keeping this place worth coming back to. Particularly during the offseason. Appreciate y’all!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      Nice explanation, but I was just messing with you. Thought that would be obvious. I dont have the energy to keep on trolling. Last season I compared our situation with Bryce as a potential Alex Smith, but what we should be looking for is our version of Mahomes. Some people will read that as one sentence, to me that single sentence is equivalent to a half A4 explanationf of the teams pathway forward.
