  1. That's a hot take.
  2. I'd bet money Gabriel goes before Sanders which tells you how low I think Sanders goes. Gabriel would be a good pick for the Raiders IMO.
  3. Ahem, Kurt Warner didn't even start his career on an NFL bench.
  4. I'm just saying a lot of people watch that shit and at least with wraslin you get some acrobatics and better looking women, IMO.
  5. Definitely take them both over Sanders. Guessing NFL will agree.
  6. If you watch it purely as steroid enhanced, athletic "reality" TV its way better than any bachelor/house wives show and frankly the acting is usually better.
  7. I'd guess Ewers in the 3rd and still before Sanders. Way, way better QB2 option which is where I think Ewers will end up.
  8. Find the vin you want on their lot. Research if you can a specific sales person at the dealership from google/yelp sort of review, find sales mngr name if you can. Give them a total cost you're willing to pay that day, pre-financed or cash. Offer to email pre-approval documents if they want. Commit to a time frame for arrival. Call in the mid-morning. Move on to the next dealership if needed.
  9. You can do just that now with the world, some will even deliver it. Last and only new vehicle I ever bought, I drove it once. Looked up the Blue Book prices, looked at prices in other areas, came to a number, basically "excellent value", it was end of month. I called, told sales person binary ones and zeros, yes or no, I have a cashier's check for $X I'll come by today or find someone that will sell it for that amount. I was working the dealer manager, she said I'll check with finance. Called me back in 15, went and picked it up. Thats a whole different thread though.. probably not a conversation for this one.
  10. Well, if you had pulled up next to me in my um.. "Bronze" 1980 Honda Accord it would have been on dude! I would have definitely out sweat you cause my no tint hatchback window really brought home the pain. That car suffered more than me though...
  11. The US set a new record average age of car ownership at 12 years in 2024. Lots of factors involved in that, but sure as shit, not wanting to spend a down payment on a house, and the fun economic issues we're facing are certainly a factor. New cars don't all need to be $50k+ which is the average "starting cost" for a new car in the US. Prices have been dropping a bit since the 2022 peak, but I really think, or maybe hope a god damn market correction is finally coming. If some manufacturers focused on that market now, they could make their own market and own it. I'm looking at YOU Toyota! But I'd take you Honda, Ford or Chevy.
  12. They moved to Tennessee in 97 and became the Titans in 1999. 28- 26 years ago respectively. He probably doesn't know who the Oilers are, but Cam certainly knows the Titans and as 22 year old first pick in the NFL draft, I doubt he gives a shit about those specifics. We're old man..
  13. Yeah, I think something like this, a very low cost low frills Hybrid has a MUCH larger market. Make a panel van option and I think it has a real US market at $20k. Hence my bring back the Toyota "Truck" or the Hilux.
  14. The average person never needs a truck. Hell, a huge number of truck owners never use the bed. But by god Murica! And God Bless it!
  15. Yeah, even if it met the needs of a true farmer, the options for UTVs and stuff like Mavericks are going to be their direction per my earlier post. There is a slow adoption of Hybrid in the sticks but they're still a LONG way from EV. The issues of poor inner city have already been addressed. So, maybe businesses in Chicago/NYC/LA if they have a centralized clientele. Otherwise, you're largely looking at EV minded folks that want a 3rd vehicle for errands. That's a small market, and well, why not a used EV SUV in that case? I think this would have done better as a panel van, personally.
  16. Don't care.. wood with absolute abandon. Then I'd cheat on her with Blake Lively.
  17. It's also available in 4 wheel drive. Having driven a family members Maverick Hybrid a goodly amount, I'd take that all day everyday over the one in OP due to diverse functionality in a Hybrid vs EV. ...but I'm biased and live on a bunch of land in the middle of nowhere. To be clear I'm not shitting on the truck, quiet the opposite, I applaud it, just not sure the niche is trying to fit is large enough for reality and success. A little too niche imo.
  18. Well, sure there is rhe ID Buzz from VW that starts at $60k (didn't see anything under $75k on a quick glance) VW ID Buzz There the Citroën Ami Cargo I guess: There was the Canoo Lifestyle Delivery Vehicle from California, but "sadly" and shockingly it failed: Canoo Up the Creek with no Paddle You've got FORD E Transit (starting around ~$50K), and Mercedes E Sprinter (MSRP $62k to start) both of which are pretty large and have about a 150 mile range. Sure there are options like the Nissan Townstar that do exactly what your suggesting, but guess where they are NOT shipping them. To fucking small, real men won't drive them in the good old US of A.
  19. Geos were horrible attempts at economy vehicles. I'm all for economy vehicles but not by using slap dick efforts with low engineering input resulting in POS vehicles that look like a Homer Simpson design.
  20. I can agree with the bulk of your take, but I'm grateful for any and every option that focuses on affordability, function, and isn't part of the technology infusion size increasing space race to stupidity and cost.
  21. Hah! Get off my lawn!!! I'm with you, and while they're adding all this bullshit the sizes are growing exponentially. Remember when a Suburban seemed like a fucking behemoth of a fucking vehicle in the 80s and early 90s?
  22. Good article in broad strokes, but for a real comparison it should have included the Mazda B series trucks. Remember when Mazda made affordable small trucks, admittedly with Mitsubishi engines for the majority of the time? I do too.
