Nashville looks really good out there. Tough to predict how the next game will go.<br />Nashville fans are certainly creative and enthusiastic. Crude, yes, but Rangers fans started chanting "Potvin sucks" in 1979 (and they're still chanting it, even though Potvin hasn't set foot on the ice since like 1985), and it seems like fans in almost every arena now chant "Ref, you suck" whenever their team doesn't get a call.

They let me know what's a good deal. We go in armed with that information. And yes, we're willing to walk if they won't negotiate. I just wish we didn't have to play these games, though.

We know what we intend to pay before we ever hit the dealer. Occasionally, we run across a salesman that wants to play hardball. That's when we walk out. <br /><br />One dealer was so shocked, their manager actually ran out after us and took over the negotiation. He accepted our offer and even sweetened it.<br /><br />Toyotas tend to be over my price limit, but I love the styles of their vehicles. <br /><br />I'm with you about comfort. I told Greg the next car I buy might be a Cadillac or Mercedes (used). They're reputed to be the most comfortable cars on the road. The few I've been in attest to that.

Of course now, I can see who has what online, so that's even better. Good luck finding something both of you will love!Jennette Marie Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992037939637425401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-35732438593323954652017-06-05T10:23:11.544-04:002017-06-05T10:23:11.544-04:00Alex - Warranty would be a deciding factor, but th...Alex - Warranty would be a deciding factor, but they're the same for these two vehicles. I have a feeling it will come down to which is cheaper. As for the Penguins... I sure hope they get their stuff together tonight and play a more focused game. They do so much better when they put the pressure on the other team!Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-81681615897978833222017-06-05T06:29:40.735-04:002017-06-05T06:29:40.735-04:00Saturday's game was ugly.
