the '87 volvo station wagon still has some miles left in it, but in about six months i'll be driving back and forth to charlotte a couple times a week from greensboro and i'm not sure i trust it for any real length of time, so i'm going to suspend my cheapskate tendencies and rigid adherence to a budget that doesn't involve new things and go ahead and buy one. what should i get?

 

gas milage is important, i'd like something with good maintenance records, i've never driven an actual nice vehicle in my life so it'd be nice to get something halfway decent, preferably a manual transmission, under $10k if possible (i'd go over a few grand if it was really worth it.)

 

whatcha got

honda fit

basically a clown car... i fit so much poo in my '07. back seats fold flat, which was a major selling point to me. since the wife and i go to several camping festivals a year, we had to be able to pack a ton of poo in the car.

i average about 38mpg's... on the road trips i can pull 42-45. just rolled 150k miles last weekend and have had zero necessary work done outside of regular maintenance. my brother bought an '09 and has had the exact same results with his

      First of all Sooners fan? Mods? Second if you think someone needs a specific reason to hate Texas you don’t watch real college football.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
