I hope not, I have them winning.

I HATE car repairs and have had lots of them as I love cars... most of the last 20 years I've been driving various German Super Saloons... Audi, BMW, Merc and so on. My AMG was bonkers... but sooo expensive to maintain. The only reason I kept it was because my buddy was a certified Merc mechanic and did my work out of his garage for food and beer. Woo hoo! Eventually I hit 200k on the E55 and sold it. The point of my little story? I took a flier on the Model X for the tax write off and fuel savings. I am four years into it and I'll I've purchased is energy (at home charging overnight at the lowest rate), one set of tires and windshield wiper fluid. I am at 50k miles and so far so good. The only real bummer was when Elon did a price drop a year ago and overnight 10k of value was wiped out. Not cool at all. That being said, not having the million or so parts that come with an ICE is amazing. Seeing what Model 3/Ys cost now to me makes it a very intriguing proposition... especially when you consider how freaking fun Teslas are to drive.

Oh im sure in 4 years 11th place ACC random NC State team, with no quality wins will rattle off 5 straight in greensboro and go right to the final four. It happens... at NC State

I 100% believe this - and also, am part of it. My wife and I have a joint credit card that we use to pay all of the bills that we're allowed to pay with credit cards plus all of our other expenditures. Everything under the sun that we can pay for with credit we do so. We pay off our card every month so we don't pay any interest and we get lots of points that we leverage, mostly for travel benefits. It's a great, secure, way to spend money and comes with nice perks (for now) and as long as it gets paid off every month its an easy way to finance our life and get some nice benefits along the way. We also focus on budgeting and we make sure not to buy things we don't have money for. Ever since I got my first credit card nearly 20 years ago I have operated on the idea that I don't spend more than I have. Even though our credit card limits are pretty high we never come close to them because we keep our spending limited by our actual cash on hand, not the credit limit.

Clemson is getting dragged and I'm here for it but damn the ACC looks so bad now. I don't think Duke will make a deep run either.

It does help that my truck is mainly used for to and from work mainly. Work travel is in a company car. When we travel, we use my wife's SUV as it gets better gas mileage.

After my first car loan ended, I continued to put that same payment into an account for the vehicles replacement. So effectively I put money aside every month for car repairs/replacement and it adds up. The current truck has 78k miles on it, the wife's car has 114k. Hers was bought new, mine had 13k miles on it. I normally have enough cash easy available from high rate savings, vanguard money markets, or other investments to pay cash for it outright, but financing it for a couple years and paying off early never hurts the credit rating.

I will admit I am surprised at the effort from McNeese. With the news breaking yesterday that their coach was leaving for NC State, I thought that might effect their effort and play today. But, here they are. Clemson is such a fraud and always is. They are slow. They rely on being able to foul relentlessly without being called for it. If you can get the tempo up and force them to play full court, you run them out of the gym. And they have never been a good shooting team under Brownell. All of that played itself out in that first half.

Ouch sorry man. Sounds like we may work for similar companies... we're slashing project development budgets but haven't seen any big layoffs (yet).
