So better question....what's a good brand for a side by side?

I found a low usage Artic Cat for under 15k that has my interest...but it's a 2014 model. Most local folks seem to all have Hondas or Polaris RZRs.

I could be wrong and frequently am, but I just don't see the 6-6 or less viewpoint on this season. Most of the SEC has not played against UCF when Heup was HC or even that type scheme much. They can plan for it, but they don't have experience going against it. Taking that scheme with upgraded talent at virtually every position tells me we should expect better than what we have seen over the past 4 years. I believe Banks and the D-staff are a serious upgrade. I think all position groups will actually be better. We have strong teachers/developers of talent now who have created the right atmosphere and team chemistry. Due to the design of the system, there's less thinking on the field in all position groups on the team on both sides of the ball, except QB. The talent at that position is really good now.

You don't see it because you overestimate talent, and underestimate the multiple potential big problems.

I hope you are right and people like me are wrong...but I don't think so, and I don't want to crap on anybodies rainbows and unicorns warm fuzzies..I am being honest in my pessimistic expectations for the season, but I REALLY hope you guys are right.

Have you read his book though? His logic is sound, it's the "want to" that people lack.

I read it and am under 25k debt right now with more than that in savings. It works, but it's not always been easy to not run out and buy the next big thing.

Do you rent or own a home? If you have under 25k and own a home, that’s great. We are going to pay off our land in the mountains and my wife’s car by early next year to only have our mortgage. Can’t wait... But I do really want a pool.. lol

Own, have also bought/sold 2 other houses in the past. We've been looking though to move to a bigger place so I'll be deep in debt again. Sadly I can't save 200k+ to buy a house with cash LOL

Bailey putting them on the money. Even the one that wasn’t caught should’ve been and probably is with one of the starting WRs. Was a perfectly lead pass into outstretched arms and hands. Ball that’s well placed in the RZ with a DB on the WR’s hip. Milton had a couple good throws as well. Really excited about that competition

Based off that drill, HB is the only one I want throwing redzone passes. Of course, they were throwing to pudgy scout teamers. I’m glad i don’t have to pick a QB. I’d be all over the place.

I feel ya! But with rates so low for mortgages, you would be better taking out the mortgage and keeping the cash in market anyways. We moved from our first home a few years ago to a bigger home. Told the wife then, this better be what you want because we aren’t moving again until we retire and head to the beach.

We caught it in the corner of ours, but no plates. Late 90’s Mustang. I drove around for half an hour today looking for it but no luck

I'm sorry this happened to you. You've probably done this, but filing a police report can help you track down the driver. Footage can be manipulated to ID the vehicle, and the police can send a notice to body shops to check for a car coming in with front-end damage matching your paint color. Hit and run is illegal in every state, and you may be able to recover damages.

We like to think that most people try to do the right thing most of the time, but there are always outliers. Sometimes, there is justice.

I recall coaches saying Zach Fulton would be a multi-year NFL starter when he was here. Glad he got to spend 7 years in the league and too bad it appears he had to retire early due to injuries.

He's an example of a three star that put in the work and well outplayed his projections.

Where we are, having bought/sold now this next purchase will be drug out as long as necessary to find the "forever" home.

Much of the time that is true. There are a lot of considerations dependent on the situation. In this environment it depends on the lease deals that are offered and the price point of the vehicle - low- middle - high. When they are moving year end models out there can be some really good lease deals with reasonable residuals if you want to keep it. In two years or so the rates will probably still be good to finance it on a reasonable term. The book residual value of the vehicle may be less than the market value if trends continue.

If you are a disciplined saver and go with a vehicle that has a low lease rate deal and reasonable residual pricing, you can come out ahead if the used car market returns to norm during the lease term. You may not have built enough equity to justify versus a low lease rate. You get a new vehicle with lower operating expenses with warranties involved with the lease. You are not assured of low operating cost with a used car.

It's up to nick's situation IMO.

Sorry but this deserves a duh! On the "it depends on nick's situation. LOL But if you ever decide to come out of leasing you better have some money saved or get a basic. Personally I would rather purchase to own then to barrow and return. I paid mine off early. I got a Subaru Forrester Sport. Love it. getting around 27 avg miles to the gallon.

Nissan has updated their CVT to be much more durable...although I'm still not a fan of CVTs in general. Whoever took over Nissan after Carlos Ghosn has got the ship heading back in the right direction. The recent updates to the Titan and the new Pathfinder, Rogue, and Frontier are massive improvements. The 9 speed transmission that's in the Titan, Pathfinder, and new Frontier is looking pretty good.

To be clear, I've been a Nissan guy since I started driving and my grandfather was one of the construction managers during the building of the Smyrna plant. That being said, I definitely strayed away from Nissan for the 2012-2018 timeframe and recently picked up a 2021 Nissan Titan Pro-4x. I absolutely love the truck. As for bignewt's comment on the interiors...I would agree except for the new models coming out. The interior on my Titan is very nice...certainly much nicer than the Tundra and Silverado interiors I have been in and more comfortable than a loaded F-150 (Ram is hard to beat for interiors). My loaded Titan also cost less than the competitors. My wife recently switched from a 2017 Lexus RX that was fully loaded out to a 2022 Pathfinder Platinum and we both feel like the interior on the new Pathfinder Platinum beats the Lexus. I think Nissan is well on their way to repairing their reputation.

My son is a big Nissan guy. He just bought a Titan and they already had a Rougue they bought two years ago.

I myself am a big Toyota fan..the things are almost indestructible and hold their value rely great.
