  1. well judging by most people here it goes as follows.

     

    ESPN is a joke---except when they something positive about the Bills or Sabres

     

    Salisbury (or insert an anchor or expert here) has an agenda agaisn't the Bills or Sabres---except when they agree with my POV

     

    Never watch ESPN---but catch every friggen show when they mention the Bills or Sabres

    So effing true...

  2. Yeah, as much as I respect Cincy and his views, I have to depart from him on this one. I have yet to read anything that would compel me even a little bit to take that thign for a test drive.

     

    I went practical with my last car, so I really want to get something that at least has SOME "cool factor", you know? I can appreciate a car that you can always rely on to get you from 'A' to 'B', I just want to be able to head up to the North Georgia Mountains and have fun with it.

    How much did you want to spend?

    The Civic Si is a cool car. the mazda 3 is good, along with the Mazda 6.

    If you're looking for an SUV type car, the Honda Element is nice, not too expensive, and gets great gas mileage for an SUV.

    Are you going to finance? If so, here'a a helpful tip:

    Get approved from lendingtree.com. Print the sheet out, and bring it to the dealer. Whip it out after a negotiated price, and tell them this is what you were offered. They want the loan, so they will definately beat it.

    Also, do you have AAA? They have a car buying program. My fiancees parent ssaved almost 4k on a Toyota Rav-4.

  3. IIRC, Edmonds made a comment about it to the effect of, "nice effort, but not ready to compete with the leaders in it's class."  I may have that mixed up with another vehicle, so I'll double check.

     

    My stance on American cars is basically the same as it is on foreign manufacturers: If they make a car that I feel is the best fit for my needs, I'll buy it. My favorite hobby is home audio and home theater. I'm in the forums all the time advising people to avoid purchasing Asian speakers because there are so many American made and/or American based companies to buy from with products that are as good or better for the same money. I don't feel the car market is at that point. And while I don't profess to know WHY that is - at least for the sort of car that I'm looking for - I just can't spend this much money for a car that I'm not excited about, particularly when I keep my cars for 5-7 years or longer.

     

    Of course, being of German heritage I tend to gravitate toward all things German in lieu of a better American option....but I've avoided the German autos too for the same reasons I've not been more wallet-friendly toward the American products.

    EDIT: "The 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt is a big improvement over its Cavalier predecessor, but it's still well behind the class leaders in handling dynamics, interior design, seat comfort and materials quality."  -Edmunds.com

    I drive Cobalt's for work and they're pieces of crap. it feels cheap, everything rattles, and the gas mileage blows. We've also had several problems with the vehicles, and they are all brand new!

    Honda or Toyota my friend. Trust me.

  4. :D  :P  :lol:  :doh:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

     

    Thats priceless. WVU is gonna roll up a 40 spot on rutgers.

    Keeping my Rutgers homerism out of this...

    The way to beat RU...They are xtremely fast. Lightening fast. Probably one of the fastest defenses I've ver witnessed. If you can stop their blitzing and pass rush, you can throw on them.

    That's why i was worried about Brohm. he's got a cannon, and I had seen him make quick decisions with the ball.

    WVU on the other hand is a Slaton/White run team. Rutgers has the speed and discipline to contain them. RU has converted LB's who are their DT's.

     

    In all honesty, I was a lot more worried about Louisville than I am WVU.

  5. If Rutgers gets past Cincinnati they have zero chance of beating West Virginia.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Cincinnati knock them off. Most teams will have an off week following a huge win. They benefited from facing Louisville a week after they played West Virginia. Now they will be the ones who have to come off a huge win, and play a good team on the road. Cincinnati is improving every week. They play excellent run defense, and have played well against good teams all year. It will be the last home game they play this season. I knew once the line was released it would plummet so I grabbed Cincinnati +7.5 Sunday night.

    You're on crack. There is absolutely zero chance RU has a letdown against Cincy. Zero.

    Rutgers will stop WVU also. Their defense is faster than WVU's offense.
