Some Tips to buy Used Car Successfully
----------------------------------------------
Here are few tips for getting the best car price and walking away with a cheap deal.


1. Cash is Supreme:
------------------------
The more car financing you need, the more power you lose over the contract. At least some money in hand shows a dealer that you are ready to deal. When it comes time to talk about car prices, be sure to mention that you have cash and you are ready to buy car now, but you are not sure you are ready to buy this used car at this price. Make an offer that is low but not out of a range, and be sure to mention whatever cash you have available to buy.


2. Car Information is Power:
---------------------------------
Just because you have money and the decision to buy a car, that is not going to be enough to send that final price sinking. This is where all your research for the best used car will come in handy. If you the price is too high, you will need a reason why, and it will help if you can back it up with solid car information. If you have noticed a used car deal and if you've got one, be sure to bring your Blackberry or iPhone to the lot, so you can research something if need be. It's tough for a dealer to lie when he can be fact-checked on the spot. Be prepared for the used car dealers to have a response to your argument.


3. Manage the Clock:
------------------------
Be ready to expend plenty of time negotiating. If you get upset, take a break. Say you'll be back in few hours and take some time to clear your mind and recharge, maybe discuss things with your colleague or friend if necessary. This can also be a chance to pull a report on the vehicle to make sure there is nothing improper in car history. This little break will make your purchase of used car more trustworthy.

No lag here. You bet on the Lakers to win but if you look closely you will see it is to win by a spread of 7 points (-7). They only won by 4 and therefor you lost the bet.

Well folks, the cinderella story is over :-(

I really thought after they beat the huge favorites in Washington and then the Penguins that they would be able to handle the Flyers. Oh well - not so. Had you told me the Habs would have made the playoffs, eliminated the top seed in Round 1 and then do the same to the defending cup champs in Round 2 I would not have believed you. No one would have. To say this was a great finish to an ok year is an understatement. Now if we can only get rid of Gomez and that huge contract, figure out what to do with the goalies (hopefully get Price going and trade one of them), and stay healthy maybe we can make the playoffs before the last game of the season!!!!!

Ah well. I'll be cheering for the Blackhawks to win the cup. It's been 49 long years for their franchise so we'll see if they can do it!

Hey y'all!!

After the ULTIMATE meltdown by ANY team I have ever seen, Boston has been eliminated and the Philadelphia Flyers will be playing the Habs in the East!!! The 7th seed vs the 8th seed??? You have got to be kidding me??? First time EVER!!!! LOL!!! What a year!

They were only the 3rd team to lose a series after leading a 7 game series 3 - 0. Not only that but they were leading Game 7 by a 3 - 0 score and had a total meltdown and lost it because of a too many men penalty!!! AGAIN??? YUP!!! WOW!!!!

Anyway, Round 3 survey is up! Get your picks in NOW because Round 3 starts Sunday afternoon!!!

Wow!!!

It's been heart attack after heart attack with the Habs getting outshot pretty much every game but the buggers keep on winning!!!!! They have now eliminated the #1 seeded team in the NHL, the President's Trophy winning Caps and Alex Ovechkin!!! Then for an encore they took down the defending Stanley Cup Champions and Sid + Malkin!!!!

If you look at our pool I knew the Habs could take the Caps but thought the Pens PP would be too strong for the Habs. NOT SO!!! After going 4 for 4 in Game 1 the Pens went 4 for 25 in the remaining 6 games!!! Holy crap!!! Unthinkable! Halak is proving he is no fluke!!! Crazy!!!

So for me everything is gravy from this point on!!! Incredible!!

... and there 1 point in their first what like 8 games :P damm the leafs suck !! :P ahhaha
SO lets throw out some NFL futures... Saints dont look like theyre going to lose.. and the Vikings going up against a good ravens Defence and putting up 30 plus points... and as for the other side ..seems a lil more wide open..so we will go with the Pats who look like theyre back in the swing of things good balance of run and 5 TD passes in 1 quarter !! and go with the classic matchup cuz you can never count out MR PEYTON MANNING and the colts of indianapolis....
SUPERBOWL MATCHUP Saints Vs. Colts
Winner...going against my fav team and going with Mr. Drew Breese and the N.O Saints

[EDIT]
Yo all,

Round 1 has already started so the survey is no longer available. Check the Forums after Round 1 is over to get your picks in for Round 2. It does not matter if you already made picks in Round 1 or not. Just jump in for some chance at XP.

Thanks,

Check it out folks!

I'm thinking of throwing some XP for people with correct picks on my survey I just created for Round 1 of the playoffs - make this into a little pool of sorts.

Here is how I'm going to do it.

Pick a winning team = 5 points
Then if correct, number of games correct = 5 points - distance from actual

Pick wrong team = 0 points
No bonus for number of games

i.e.
You pick Washington to win in 4 games and they win in 6
Winning team = 5 points
Predicted games = 5 - 2 = 3 points (6 predicted - 4 actual = 2 in this case)
Total Points = 8

You pick Montreal to win in 6 but Washington wins in 6
Winning team = 0
Predicted games = 0 (only in effect if you pick correct team)
Total Points = 0

Each Round Awards
1st place = 25 XP
2nd place = 15 XP
3rd place = 5 XP

Overall winner awards at end of pool
1st = 100 XP
2nd = 60 XP
3rd = 20 XP

Enjoy!!!

I believe San Jose wins the cup this year for many reasons. The team is really starting to show signs of life now. Since Thurs. March 11, 2010 the team put on a show infront of their home crowd winning the game 8-5 against NAS. San Jose scored 6 times in the 3rd period to crush NAS. Players like Malhotra, Boyle who has 46 points in 60 games so far. Also Thornton has 79 points, 17 goals, and Joe Pavelski who is having a career year with the Sharks. He has 51 GP 20 G 21 A 41 Points which makes him great for 2nd or 3rd line or even a PP or PK person. Goaltending shouldn't be a problem for the Sharks this year as Nabokov should stand tall like a wall. Good luck to the Sharks as they have been my team since Roenick got their.

GL and Have Fun All!!!

PS: Can't wait for MLB this year should be a great year
