Simple, But Useful Car Buying Advice

Do I Really Have To Pay All Of These Extra Fees When I Buy A Car?

It’s easy to get hung up on every line item and be suspicious of every charge. It’s your money and you should question charges you aren’t sure about, but when comparing the best deal focus more on the total cost rather than the details.

At the end of the day, you just want to spend the least amount possible. This is why you should request an itemized out-the-door from every dealer you contact. It’s possible that a dealer could be charging you silly extras but still offer the best price.

When shopping for quotes, sale price is important, but have the dealer send you a total with all applicable taxes and fees. If you are buying out of state, make sure you have them calculate your tax and DMV accurately based on your location. Then you can compare which deal is the best one.

There Will Never Be Another Tiger Woods, Here's 7 Stats Why

7 Stats That Prove It's Premature to Compare Jason Day to Tiger

15
  • That's the number of Woods's missed cuts. No, not this year. In his career. Day missed 16 cuts in 2008 alone. Yeah, he was a rookie then, but Tiger was one of those once as well.
24
  • When Tiger owns a tournament, he owns a tournament. Woods has defended a title 24 times. Day has 10 total wins and has never successfully defended a title.
52
  • Remember peak Woods? He posted 52 straight rounds of par or better from 2000-'01. Day's best stretch to date is 22 rounds, which he accomplished at the end of 2015 between the Open Championship and the third round at the Deutsche Bank Championship.

The Longest Season Ticket Waiting List Ever

Ten years on the Packers' season-ticket waiting list ... 60,000 spots to go

On Sept. 9, 2006, when I stopped by Lambeau Field to do a story on the Green Bay Packers, I decided to take some time and formally put my name on the famous waiting list that was started some time shortly after the team first sold out in 1960.

I was told from the beginning that, in all honesty, I would not be able to get tickets in my lifetime, but at least I could observe the movement of the list over time.

There were 73,256 people ahead of me on the list that day, and each of them could claim four tickets when they reached the top.

It was a long way to go.

With the Packers as good as they are, and their consistent goal to stay in the league average in ticket prices, people weren't releasing their tickets any time soon.

If a season-ticket holder died, the tickets could be willed to their family. If there was a divorce, the Packers honor the divorce settlement.
