Indeed. Fifteen years of full stomachs have made them soft. They have forgotten what it means to be truly hungry.

To the bama fans that need to be hongry for a while....

Reposting for anyone who missed this video. He breaks down some of the biggest plays in the game and does a pretty good job. After a closer look at some of our plays. . . we're good!

Kia Telluride

You read it as a Sorrento mixup. No the telluride is a 7 passenger beast. I would say Telluride or Palisade. Go to reddit telluride or palisade and look up dealerships that charge zero markup over MSRP.

Kia Telluride

Genesis GV 70 or 80 ftw!

Unrelated...

Kia Sorento, Honda Pilot, or Toyota Highlander? Looking at getting a new to me SUV with 3rd row seating and these are the 3 I've identified.

Where are you?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Look no further:

When I was a kid, there was a man who won a van like this in our neghborhood. Back in the late 80's early 90's. I think a local dealership or radio station had a contest for it. Pretty cool.

I drove the GV 70 and loved it. Unfortunately it takes Premium gas only...cmon now. Do you know premium gas is like 5/gallon?

Heupel potentially jumping to the NFL scares me more than any college program does.

I have a 2017 Pilot and love it. When I was shopping, it had one of the roomiest 3rd rows

My wife test drove all three of those along with a Kia Telluride and Nissan Pathfinder. Went with a Pathfinder Platinum trim 4WD. Drove better and had a nicer interior than the Pilot and Highlander. Telluride was nice but they're just overpriced due to demand. Sorento was nice but probably at the bottom of the list. Also have a neighbor with a fairly new Pilot and it has had some issues. Honda reliability has been sliding. Reliability should be great with the Pathfinder since they ditched the CVT and the new transmission has been great. Of the three you listed, I would lean towards the Highlander...but it's pretty bland to drive. Everyone has different tastes though...

Changing the Transmission was huge for the Pathfinder. I'm a Nissan guy, but avoid the CVT Nissans. My best friend is a UTK engineering grad and works for Nissan (just got the call up from Japan headquarters to work there for 2 years because he's so good at what he does), mostly on Pathfinders (they're letting him have design input on the remodel coming in 5 ish years). My mom's Pathfinder has the CVT and always has problems. Never had any problems from the other 3 Nissans in our family. He has flatly said to get rid of that Pathfinder lol.

But the new transmission Pathfinders are one of their best vehicles.

Agreed. The JATCO CVT transmissions that Nissan uses are garbage. Jeep tried for a while with them too and it was an absolute failure. Most of them go out shortly after 100k miles right after the warranty is up. Almost no transmissions shops will replace them and if you do buy a new one they start at about 4500 plus the labor to install.

Hyundai dealer in Alcoa emailed my wife to tell her that they’re not charging markup on their vehicles now, after my wife told them a few days prior that we went somewhere else to get our palisade bc they didn’t charge markup like their store was doing. We went with Hallmark Hyundai thanks to @YankeeVol suggestion

Those look killer.

 

[ConwayFitty]

Yeah, I'm not buying a post covid build. Have heard horror stories about the corners being cut.

So really 2015-2020 are the year range. Telluride and Pathfinder are both bigger than what I'd like though. What would you say makes Highlander bland to drive though?

The funny thing is, Bammer fans ARE all family. It's all the in-breeding.

Someone does that to my kid they’re getting F’d up. When that happens, the game doesn’t matter anymore

Not sure $5/gal really matters when your forking over $50k+ for a vehicle.

Your definition of quickly and your wife’s are probably not the same

The fact that I have a daughter that is not much younger than that young lady, increased my quickly to quicklier.

You have someome you worked with? Looking to get some information and a quote and parlay a UT game to that weekend.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Even a loss to GA would likely put us in the playoff. Look at the AP 25:
GA
OSU
Clemson
1 loss TN over 1 loss Michigan

The scenario we want to avoid is

11-1 UT/Bama/UGA
12-0 Clemson
12-0 OSU or Michigan

We’d have to win out over the SEC champ loser in the scenario.

Ya the point is that it didn't happen. It's fiction.

If you think this then you don't know about 50k cars. The Palisade is 48k and the Telluride in some versions are about 47k in the span of 5 years this is about $50/ month on the loan.

If you are in sales and drive about 25,000 miles a year...we are talking 2500/year in extra fuel

 

[jakez4ut]

Sounds good to me...
