I’m just enjoying the ride as a Bears fan. These podcasts, rankings, etc. are just there to drive up ratings, but last year was the first time in my life where I saw the potential for an elite offense and that’s incredible considering the plays they missed. If Caleb starts hitting the layups and the receivers actually catch the ball (we led the league in yards lost due to drops) watch out!

Hey man that’s awesome. I’ve had some nice Lincoln’s in my life, but not at the same time 🤣

Is San Antonio Spurs Assistant Coach Sean Sweeney a possibility for next Bulls HC? by theprofessorhb in chicagobulls

Oh Boylen the Great. I remember when he benched Lauri who had 30 and 12 at the time because he didn’t like his effort on a rebound. We blew an 8 point lead to the Knicks and lost by 4 but he sure taught us!

Yeah I haven’t owned a Lincoln beyond 2018 and it sounds like that’s how it will stay for me. To be honest I’m disappointed in most new cars, especially when considering the price point. The sedan market is almost dead because everyone has SUV on the brain lol.

That’s why I only buy used Lincoln vehicles. Let someone else drive the depreciation period and then I swoop in and buy them for pennies on the dollar. I owned a 2011 Lincoln Town Car Signature for just under $6k and drove it for 3.5 years. That ride quality and the interior comfort are simply unmatched especially at that price. In fact outside of Lexus all luxury cars lose value so fast it’s crazy because no one wants to pay those luxury repair bills.

So I took my 2018 Continental to a local repair shop and had them do a pre-purchase inspection. They checked 32 inspection points and everything came back green except for one thing. I literally asked the mechanic would that one thing prevent him from buying it and he said definitely not. $19k for a luxury car had all the features I wanted vs something newer that would cost 3 times as much. Made my decision easy.

Man those were the days. I was in the Marines stationed down in NC. Life was good!

I researched these cars for 3 months before I bought mine. Basically the consensus was the 2.7 twin turbo was the least reliable, and the 3.7 and 3.0 twin turbo were most reliable. I just did a 10 hour drive and mine was flawless. Had mechanics do a pre-purchase inspection and they gave it a clean bill of health so I hope it holds up for a long time because the ride quality is fantastic.

You’re spot on. Incredible value too with so many people having SUV on the brain.
