As long as they stay away from trying to post inside information, or claiming to have information on trades and such they are fine by my book. They really irked me during the trade deadling, acting like they were Ken Berger or Adrian Wojnarowski on twitter trying to break trades.

Hey the **** loser deserves it, you shouldn't make fun of an NBA team if your going to be playing in the league one day.

I dont think he made fun of Charlotte, he just said that as an example, he couldn't have said the Bucks because he plays in Wisconsin he would've been murdered by now, Charlotte was just the easy answer

90s Japanese cars don't die. They just don't. Honda, Toyota, Nissan... my friends and family have all had amazing experiences with them. $500 is an absolute steal. :lol:

I know its not exactly masculine, but you can't argue with the gas mileage and I travel from Blowing Rock to Mooresville weekly, sometimes biweekly.

I'd lean towards just going with a Civic, Accord, Corolla, Camry, or something like that. They get great gas mileage (not in hybrid territory though), and you know they'll last FOREVER. I just don't know whether the hybrid technology stands the test of time yet, particularly if you're going with a used one with nearly 100k miles on it and about 7-8 years old as you mentioned. Much rather go with a traditional vehicle, but the cars I mentioned still get great gas mileage and they're much better cars in general.

I've put 200,000 miles on my '96 Camry. Love driving Toyotas.

True there isn't much data on hybrids, but I don't see why Prius's can't last a long time as well. The results are good on 2002 and 2003 Prius's though, with some over 300,000 miles.

Back in 2006 I had a 1997 Hond Accord SE with 70K miles on it when the transmission died. I don't know how I got the only lemon in the entire fleet. Rather than pay for repairs, I traded it in for 2K and got a 2006 Accord, which I am still driving, 97K miles - manual transmission this time - haha.

The newest one? I stopped watching after Spiderman 3 with Tobey McGuire. That was terrible. I don't even keep up with it anymore after that debacle.

We as a board should start doing posters of the year awards over certain categories. Have votes and polls and stuff. Just a random opinion.
