    Have you ever calculated the net cost?  The incremental car costs + electric costs vs gas savings?  I have not done so in the last few years but it never made sense cost wise.

    I have not, but since I get mileage from my company, the car has actually made me money.  Up till the batteries dying, I was get 38-44 miles per gallon while getting 57 cents per mile...so on an average, I was making more than $20 a gallon.

  2. The car has 130k on it, outside sales is a lot of driving.

    thank you all for responding.

    i will call to be sure, but I think I’m either going to pay a bunch to get the batteries replaced or just trade it in.  Over the 5 years I’ve had it, I’ve saved a bunch on gas.

  3. Hoping someone knows, I’ll start with I’m not a car guy, I have one, I like having one, I use mine a lot.  5 years ago I bought a Ford Fusion hybrid (spare me the obvious criticism, I already explained, not a car guy) up until last week it was very reliable and provided me with excellent gas mileage.  I do outside B2B sales,  driving almost 200 miles a day isn’t unheard of.

    but then, I smelled an odor, it was a weird chemical odor.  So I brought the car home, traded out for my wife’s car and continued my day.  Now the car won’t start, battery is completely dead.  We looked up the smell and it seems the batteries are done.  
    Question; can I jump start it?  Should I jump start it?  obviously I’m going to get rid of the car.  But, I’m not sure I can get it to a dealership to trade it in.  Any advise is helpful.

  4. This was a terrible draft, I don’t mean for Buffalo, but for all 32 teams.  We are just lucky Buffalo didn’t have a lot of needs, I wouldn’t be surprised if we only kept 3 players from this weekend.  Not because of bad picks, but not enough room.

     

    How I view our fellow AFC Easters,

     

    Jets drafted the most overrated player in the draft round 1, followed it up with an incomplete WR, but they did get a good backup RB... 

    Miami drafted to replace; their QB that Game managed his new team to the AFC championship, a tackle that is elite for Houston and a first team all pro DB who is a steeler.  bottom line, they are worse than they were in 2018, slightly better than their 2019 team.

    NE- drafted a gadget player, a LB that Can blitz, but will be exposed in coverage and a bunch of guys that would fill Buffalo’s Practice squad. They didn’t improve and should resemble the the pre Brady and pre Bledsoe days.

     

    I am feeling pretty good.

     Breshad Perriman, 6'2" 215lb 4.24 40

    Former first round pick starting to click.

    6 tds last season in just 36 rec.

    17.9 yds/rec was tied for 4th with Diggs

    69 targets 0 drops. 

    His dad Brett Perriman played 10 yrs and had 108 catches 1488 yds in '95 with Detroit.

     I think he is ready to tear it up. ?

    Agree, I think it’s finally clicking for him, everything we are looking for.  Size 6’2” 215 and speed.  3 year 27 million.

     

    Dante Fowler is my other choice, since moving to LA he’s been an excellent outside rusher.  If we keep Lawson and go into next year with Dante/Hughes-Harry/Star-Oliver/Free agent-Shaq/Murphy, I think we’ll be in good shape.

    There just has to be more to this story. How are they projecting half the country ends up with this thing? It is only SLIGHTLY more contagious than the common flu. 

     

    Does HALF the population get the flu and how are they convinced this will not die out in the summer?

     

    There just seems to be a lot of noise(from ALL sides of the political equation, so not really a political comment) and dearth of actual INFORMATION.

     

     

    What if it’s not noise, my concern is we don’t truly know the scope of how bad this is.  Maybe, they aren’t telling us the whole truth out of fear it could create mass hysteria.  On the flip side, maybe they know the potential this has and they are warming everyone as if this is an end times illness, when in actuality, it’s not, but they want to control fast.  Either way, I’m taking it seriously.  Best case scenario, we laugh about it in a few months.

  7. Clowney, Ngakoue  and Perriman.

     

    i have lost confidence in the 2020 DE rookie class and Perriman mean WR isn’t an absolute need, still needs to be addressed, but not necessarily round one.

    Then draft Fulton from DBU and pair him with White.  Round two address Offense line with a RT and round 3 a WR or LB.

    Watched the 4 part "The Pharmacist" on Netflix.  I thought it was well done but quite the depressing topic with villains and victims strewn about everywhere.

    I agree, Chalmette use to be in my sales area in New Orleans (not drugs) and I probably went into that pharmacy a dozen times.  I had no idea.  But, it was a good documentary, lots of turns.
