OH SURE! If you drive it for a year or two, you will still get decent trade value......while you extend your second MORTGAGE payment a.k.a. Car Payment another 6-7 years. Pay a car off and then see what "value" it holds. In the time you need to pay it off, it will be very minimal help in buying your next car with a sale price value that has LONG bypassed the trade value of your car.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub

It still has to pass City Council but an Official proposal is coming early next week. I thought for sure it'd all linger into 2025. Jacksonville is also in need of a new Jail. They also want to move it away from Downtown. It is in a VERY VERY stupid location. Close to the water front and stadium area. That too is going to be a Billion plus.

Certain topics have more passion / concern more than others for different people. At the same time, I can see having some frustration of seeing repetitive stuff. Me? I actually get bored with countless Mock Drafts, after weeks of them. To me, the Draft is a Crap Shoot across the board. But when I get tired of them, I move on. All the while having 100% respect for the effort that people put into tby Ramgator - RamsFootballFans.com
Remember...Honda is supposed to be the best. I have seen maybe 2-3 Elements in the last 4-5 years. Where have all those $100, 000 Hummers gone?? Also...Look up how long parts are even available for a shiny new Corvette. Just 5 years. Blame the Govt , blame Detroit. Bottom line. Vehicles are over priced Rip Offs.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
Cheap electronics has made everything of cheap quality. Go buy yourself a washer and dryer and tell me if you can get more than 10-12 years out of it. Just like cars, the quality is WELL WELL below the cost value. I was convinced when even the Nissan DEALERSHIP Parts Manager told me that parts are way over priced, when I tried to buy new wheel covers for my THREE year old Sentra.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub

FOUR Playoff games in a row (Yeas, I count the Jets / Pats. They were needed to get in). Three on the extreme East Coast. Pats are literally as far as the Rams can travel. And they won ALL THREE??? Two in VERY tough venues against tough Defenses. Freaking amazing!!!!by Ramgator - RamsFootballFans.com
For RAMS info / updates. Just a quick glance will tell me if it has already been posted. If it has?? WHO CARES?? I simply move to the next thing. I have seen people gripe about a poster posting something..."Talked about numerous times." and find that it was indeed but 2..3 + pages back?? IMO....EVERY Poster on here posts great stuff. Some of it flat out bores me or is just another variby Ramgator - RamsFootballFans.com

That was before the ultra electronic dash boards. When my Wife's wigs out, things start blinking like the Bridge of the Starship Enterprise. Even Veteran Mechanics have a hard time with them. Says something when the DEALERSHIP is baffled.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
Saw the interview about 10-12 years ago. He mentioned how Little League somehow went from Late March to July to almost year round. She said that MANY kids have dead arms by the time they reach High School. I was a kid of the 70s and 80s. We LIVED outside and constantly in the hot sun. But even so, I played a double header when I was 14 and was whooped. We practiced just 2-3 times a week. Nowby Ramgator - Bucky's Pub

I watched a couple of seasons of my Wife's youngest playing. I have to tell ya, in just 2 seasons, I saw 5-6 incidents where I'd be in trouble. Maybe led away in handcuffs. LOL I saw a LOT of "Summers Eve" PARENTS that made me cringe. I also saw too many ego driven Coaches that pissed me off. Especially when the post season "All Star" crap started up.

I'm currently on a Term plan with 10 years to go. I will be 57 next month. I'm weighing the options if I should do another 30 now or wait till closer to the end of my remaining 10 years....In which it will cost more. Buuuuuut...Better chance of it carrying through my life. So many thoughts n ideas to ponder. Anyone know of any good deals?by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub

I think the Rams play well on the road or at home. And lets be real...The Rams HFA does not intimidate anyone. But if I had to pick, I'd LOVE to get a opening day win AT Friscoby Ramgator - RamsFootballFans.com
Game #1 vs the Niners, we were KILLING them with the run, physical play and ball control and then got pass happy. How bout that first drive vs the Ravens?? We ran right down their throats. They could not stop us AT ALL. Get inside the 15 and then three incompletes in a row and not one was close. As we saw 3 years ago...Even with the Rams "All In", we had some close shaves to get theby Ramgator - RamsFootballFans.com
Shows up, TACKLES and creates some turn overs, removing the constant 12-14 play drives by the other guys, our O is set to totally control games. BUUUUUUT...It ALL comes down to staying healthy. If we do, we have a damn good shot at the Super Bowl.by Ramgator - RamsFootballFans.com
His SEVEN year old Grandson plays travel ball. This past Saturday, they had to travel 3 hours into Georgia and played FOUR games. Had to be at the Park at 8 AM for a 9 AM first game.They were at that park till 6:30 PM. So they left Jacksonville at 5 AM and did not get home till 10PM. THAT is flat out STUPIDITY! Nothing but Player AND Parent Burn Out.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
I'm 6'5". Carolla, like Civics, are lower than when I drove one 30 years ago (Rental while my Civic was repaired) My Son has a Civic and it has ZERO head room for me. My 1993 Civic had TONS of room. That Carolla I rented was awesome! I loved the pick up and the AC system was MUCH better than my Civic. I really want a Tacoma but I do NOT want a Mortgage payment for a car payment for 7+ years.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
By the time 99 rolled around, I was married and had my oldest. I still caught most of the games in 99 but had to keep things simmered. LOL But I have to say...Even though the Rams were a mess in the early 90s, I had a blast. That was back when you could catch 2...even THREE games in one day and hardly spend $60. Those days are LONG gone! Not to mention, the general vibe was just MUCH better.by Ramgator - RamsFootballFans.com

Place was LOOOOADED with cocky Cowboys fans........Back when Sports Bars had people into the games and not their phones for Fantasy updates.

I spent 4 hours playing phone tag with a Drs Office last week. This week I'm having an issue with pay check deduction for Life Insurance. I called my Pension Office.....Not at the desk. Called All State...........Nobody at their desk. I need to run 3-4 errands and I KNOW as soon as I leave, one or the other will call back. If I wait, they MIGHT call back at 4 PM. I LOVE getting return calls 8by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
We bought a brand new CRV in Dec 2018. It has had all sorts of electrical glitches. The dash will sometimes either start blinking, dim so much it cannot be seen in day light or just shut off. OF COURSE, Honda says they have to see it to know what's up even though my Wife has taken multiple videos and photos. The SERVICE Manager is USELESS.

The last time I went was back in 83 with my Dad. Interesting to stand on that Fort and look at the banks of Charleston Harbor and wonder what it was like. I live very close to Cedar Creek here in Jacksonville. It's not in the History Books but there was quite a nasty Skirmish along that Creek during the Civil War. I also saw the CSS Hunley Submarine, in Charleston, several years ago.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
