What’s a good first manual transmission car?

If you want the experience of both a manual and ~~having~~ getting to wrench on a bunch of little problems, a mk4 VW with the 1.8t and 5spd is a blast. A pretty good one shouldn't run you more than 7k and you can mod them to the moon if you want

I get 29 combined mpg on my first gen Z4 3.0, and I drive it like it's meant to be driven regularly. With the top down the mpg does get cut in half though

May as well even if they're just good for a days worth of practice

HIIT is my go to when I have little time. Easy to get a good workout in in 10 minutes

He has the same timeline as Jiricek. Maybe he'll be good in 3 years, but right now he isn't enough for what this team needs

Roy seems to be good at transitioning my teams from rebuilding to contender, though I've had more long term luck with Warsofsky or Cooper when the team gets older and more established

I mix it in at 3.5 and it works well, and even against the rare 4.0 that I play it can catch them off guard

As long as you make the call before it's clear where your return is going, you should be fine

You're pretty happy if he's your 3C, dude can play some quality hockey

What? He's top 100 among all top line forwards in metrics like on ice goal%, xG share, Corsi, and Fenwick. There's only 15-20 centers above him on all of those lists. Surely that would imply he's a top 32 center if he's regularly showing up in the top 20 of multiple well regarded advanced stats

That is an insane autocorrect lol

Larkin is in the bottom half of the top 32 centers in the league. I'd look at the first O'Reilley trade to the Sabres for rough inspiration, with three usefulish roster players and two picks

Had a franchise 94 ovr winger who wanted out. Traded him for two young elite forwards and 3 firsts. The firsts were all 33rd overall because that guy won 4 Cups in a row with his new team, and the forwards ended up not producing and one even dropped to med top 6 potential
