re: Age of avg. vehicle in U.S. hits 12.6 yrs.
Posted by CubsFanBudMan on 5/22/24 at 4:36 pm
I guess my Tacoma is better than average. It's 12.4 years old. Plan on giving it to my 12.33 year old kid when it's time.
I'd love to see a percentage of cars owned by age. Newer cars get totaled so easily now, between the electronics of newer technology (resetting/replacing driver assist, lane ...
re: Per Baseball America regarding Tommy Tanks place in homerun history
Posted by CubsFanBudMan on 5/22/24 at 4:17 pm
[quote]This is worded kind of odd. He's 5 behind Furniss' career (80), but not as an LSU player. Tommy has 48 as a Tiger so far, but 27 before he came to LSU.[/quote]
I'm not sure why you are getting the DV. I thought the same thing. It's not like if TT hits 6 more, which is very possible, he wil...
re: What is the difference between a 2 and 3 seed in a regional?
Posted by CubsFanBudMan on 5/22/24 at 4:10 pm
Also, baseball is a lot different than basketball where 8/9, 4/5, and 2/3 are a lot closer. #2 seed represents ranks from 17-32 and #3 seed represents 33-48. So as a 3 seed, you could be playing a team that was snubbed from hosting. As a 2 seed, you could be playing lower level at-large team, or a c...

From what I understand, you can add him as authorized user to credit card. He will obtain your entire credit history from that card. To where his oldest account might be older than him. But he would also have your spending power too with the credit limit. As long as you teach him limits/res...

re: Does paying with cash vs check or card for big purchases still hold sway?
Posted by CubsFanBudMan on 5/21/24 at 4:17 pm
Car dealerships are probably the only place that don't prefer cash. The finance guy makes money off of the spread between the bank's rate and what he quotes you. Last time I purchased a new vehicle I went in with a pre-approval from my credit union. The finance guy quoted me his best rate from Hanco...
Debit/Credit Cards for kids
Posted by CubsFanBudMan on 5/21/24 at 4:02 pm
Any recommendations for a debit/credit card for a 12 year old? Kid is going to camp this summer, and would prefer to not send cash. Would also prefer a debit card connected to an account that I can easily add money to without a bunch of fees. The credit union that I use doesn't haven't a debit card ...

I'm not sure that it's much of a wedge issue for his base. At the time, I was happy that it was available to my parents that are in their 70s. I chose not to take it, and due to Biden's mandates, that cost me my job. I ended up b...
re: Ongoing UAW vote for unionization at Alabama's Mercedes Assembly Plant UPDATE: vote fails
Posted by CubsFanBudMan on 5/17/24 at 5:26 pm
When my grandfather passed away, one of my dad's cousins came in from New York for the funeral. Her husband had a union labor job, maybe an iron worker. He had trouble with his return flight, and if he didn't get back in time, he was going to lose his spot to another union worker. Seems like a prett...

re: SB237 - Republicans sure hate some freedom
Posted by CubsFanBudMan on 5/15/24 at 8:04 am
Louisiana can't get rid of inspection stickers because they don't want to lose the $10 per car per year ($20 in some parishes) of revenue, but then turns around and bans a product that is subject to sales tax and not causing harm. How about add a cigarette style stamp to it, charge 50 cents per stam...
