Re: Car buying
CarMax is easy, but their prices usually are a bit above what you can get elsewhere. I always use edmunds.com to calculate an expected price. They have actual data from actual sales, so it's much better than Kelly Blue Book (which is intentionally biased towards dealerships). Use Edmunds to calculat...

Re: Dead College Thread
Yeah, the common application has made it super easy to apply to a ton of schools. Colleges love it because it helps them boost their application numbers and lower their acceptance rate (in theory), but it doesn't mean more kids are going. Some of my sons' friends applied to well over 10 schools My w...

Re: Doc: The Umentary Type
Yeah, I hate that song too. Otherwise, I can take or leave Seger. Never did anything for me. But that song has always pissed me off. And of course, "Like a Rock" was also forever ruined by those truck commercials. I do like "Hollywood Nights" and "Turn the Page" though.

I don't remember Cage being part of that scene at all. Didn't his career come a bit later? Cruise was definitely the right age and in some of the same movies, even if he wasn't part of the tight friend group.

Nikki Haley endorses Trump. She's getting raked on social media for being a coward. Calling her a coward implies she’d rather see Biden win. We have no evidence of that.
