The reliability of the newer brands has improved and they’ve started offering 7 year/100,000km warranties to bring in wary people like yourself. Although, if you look down into the article, the old Tiburon is ~26x more likely to have starting problems than any other car.

They seem to be including catastrophic events such as transmission rebuilds which for a BMW might reach into the 5 figures.

To varying degrees. Mazdas in Atlantic Canada were pretty much a no-no; I’m not sure about the most recent generation but older generations would develop very visible rusting in under 2years. Toyotas seemed to fare better but to be honest no car can really put up with salt - especially road salt - for very long.

Still not sure why he went there. Half the comments on his articles are from people who have absolutely no clue what he’s doing. It makes as much sense as Colbert moving to Fox would have made.

So short but so well done!

One of his first beefs with ESPN was that they wouldn’t let one - I think it was Grey - be a part of his fantasy basketball league (?). I mean, Mr. Simmons, you do know who owns ESPN right?

A good way to be attractive is to use proper grammar.

Turns out all three of the teams were Detroit: 1989, 1990, and 2004.

Now that’s an exaggeration. Toronto was worse than the Dwight Howard PR tour or the Memphis MASH unit?

Toronto had the fourth most wins in the regular season, were missing their good offensive centre, and had injuries to Lowry, Carroll, and DeRozan. I might be biased, but to me they were better than every other non-Cleveland, non-healthy-Miami team in the East.

When the Coyotes couldn’t fill their arena as a conference finalist, the whole farce should have ended right then and there.

And no Canadian teams in the entire playoff either.

Aye, this is the attitude that gets us sportswriters grandstanding and submitting blank ballots to the Hall of Fame because they’re members of an institution. Being a sportswriter doesn’t free you from normal rules of logic and human decency.

For the vast majority of the Warriors’ experience, their only fanbase WAS Oakland - they’re not that many years removed from having Jerry West defend the owner from being booed during an awards ceremony. It feels like they’re ditching a faithful yet less “attractive” fanbase for the Web 3.0, thinkfluencing,…

He has shown some level of self-awareness in the past when backed up against the wall - remember when he was a huge “born again Christian”? Somewhere on the way to 8 exes with kids he seems to have realized that no one was going to take him seriously.

I said it earlier - the only reason HB2 exists is because the Democratic Party machine sat back and watched the GOP funnel money into NC and didn’t do a damn thing about it.

Nice message about “caring about downticket races”. Could you send that to HRC and DWS?

That’s been a persistent problem. Casey can’t develop inbounds/end of half plays other than ISOs.

This year his elbow (and shooting confidence) are hurt.

There’s always the Flyers!
