re: Help me find a car for my step son $20-$30K to spend

Unless he has a crappy credit score, he is gonna get raped.
Get the VIN and see what the bank or credit union will finance the vehicle for.
Dealers and car lots make YUGE OT $$ on financing and other ridiculous add-ons like VIN etching, rust protection, nitrogen air in tires, even GAP protection (make sure to read the terms very careful and shop around for GAP protection if that is what you want).
Watch out for DOC fees, Louisiana has a max fee which is a little over $400. Destination fees(unless a new vehicle), advertising fees, marketing/advertising fees are BS and should be told to take out the deal.
BTW, get a final price, better known as 'Out The Door Pricing' that is itemized and in writing. Forget the monthly payment scam, that is where a person gets screwed royally. Get a bottom-line price in writing and go from there.
Don't be afraid to walk. You are not there to be 'friends' or Mr. Nice Guy. You are there to get the best deal possible.
I know TL but this could save you thousands of $$

Welp, looks like this is what is he is going to get.
His best bet would be a Toyota Camry. There are several trim levels he can get. You can get 200K miles out of a Camry easy providing the vehicle is serviced regularly.
Let him learn on his own.
re: Has Rory gotten himself into the Top 10 Golfers of all time?
Posted by Reubaltaich on 4/15/26 at 5:54 pm to Fun Bunch
Rory is right up there in the top 12.
A few more majors and he is definitely a top 10 all-time.
He is still fairly young at 36 so he has a lot of good golf left in him.
I can see another 3-5 majors and lots of PGA tournament wins
He has won 30 PGA events and has won lots on the European tour.
The next milestone for Rory is to get the 'double' grand slam title.
He needs another British Open and US Open title and he is there with only Jack and Tiger.

Did I say that hillary sold the yellow cake DIRECTLY to the Eye Ran-inn terrorists?
We know that traitor scumbag sold it to the rooskies who in turn sold it on the 'open market' to you know who.
Now is something your little kenyan hero stated way back in 2015:

Don't ya mean cleaning up the cluster that the weak pathetic Jimmy Carter gave the world?
Oh yeah, lets not forget that dirt bag hillary clinton selling yellow cake that went straight to the islamic nut cases in Eye-ran.
Oh did I mention that big eared bozo from kenya allowed the 8th century knuckle draggers to get BILLIONS of $$$ to fund terrorists world wide, that killed many of our US military service members?
I guess you are proud of that?

From what I can tell by looking at the vid, some clown standing in front of the LSU guy tossed the beer at him.
The little pee-wee Herman security guard, who looked to be about 5'5" went up to the ole miss fan to the left and the LSU guy may have thought it was him who threw the beer at him and nailed him.
Regardless, the LSU guy is about to pay mucho OT $$$ to the guy he punched and probably pay some big fines plus a lot money for a lawyer to get out jail time.
The OM punk who threw the beer at the LSU guy is probably gonna get a slap on the wrist and have to do some sort of community service, like cleaning up trash at the ball park.

That's dangerous, could have actually hit the kid and caused major head trauma or even killed the guy. Almost looks like assault with a deadly weapon.
There needs to be some legal action taken against that pitcher. Could have killed Peyton.
Looking at the replay posted, Peyton just flipped the bat a few feet in the air.
As far as the Ruston commentor laughing, that clown is a major POS. What if the kid would have been seriously injured?

I am not exactly certain how the California governor‘s race works, so I could be way off, but from what I’m hearing and reading this could be a case of the Democrats not wanting Swalwell to split the democrat vote that might result in a Republican being elected as governor of California.
This is most likely the case. Commie-fornia elects a GOP governor it gonna be brutal battles every day in Sacramento.
The commie scum in cally has enough votes in the legislature to impeach the next GOP governor, should he win the governorship.
But do they really want a brutal all-out slugfest? They will burn down commie-fornia to keep power.
They have their eye on the 2030 US Census. They are set to lose lots of congressional seats in the US House and more importantly, US Electoral college votes.
A GOP governor could throw a huge monkey wrench in their evil wicked plans to save their seats and Electoral College votes.

re: What statin are you on?
Posted by Reubaltaich on 4/5/26 at 8:20 pm to dallastiger55
Be cautious with statins. More and more evidence is coming out that they are not the panacea once thought.
Statins do reduce cholesterol BUT at what cost? Our bodies produce cholesterol (mainly in the liver) for many vital functions. We would die quickly if not for cholesterol.
Our brains consist of about 20% cholesterol. Is that the reason that 'brain fog' occurs when taking statins? What about dementia? IDK
There is still a lot of debate going on in cardiologist circles about statins.
I picked up this book a few years ago and it and other studies have changed my mind.
The Great Cholesterol Myth
I am no medical professional, and I certainly do not claim to be an expert in this matter. I am just a regular guy trying to keep healthy and learn about health so I can live a good life. Heart disease runs in my family, so I have a huge stake in this.
Folks with normal cholesterol have heart attacks, strokes and embolisms all the time.
LDL's main function is to carry cholesterol from the liver to other tissues in the body. HDL carry's excess cholesterol back to the liver.
The big issue with LDLs is when they become dense and small, they burrow into the thin lining of the arteries, the endothelium, and build up over time like a pimple (soft plaque) and erupt like a volcano causing clots, aka blockage, which results in heart attacks, strokes, and embolisms.
Most of the time, enzymes in our body breaks up those clots and the arteries heal with hard plaque, aka calcium. That why cardiologist use the CAC score to assess artery health.
Bottom line, we want our LDL particles to be 'fluffy' and large, so they don't burrow down into the inner lining of the arteries which build up and eventually erupt causing blockage.
The standard lipid panel is outdated and while it is helpful, it doesn't give a full evaluation of LDL, HDLs, cholesterol...
Request advanced testing like the NMR LipoProfile (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance LipoProfile.

However, recent research shows that lipoprotein particle number is more predictive of cardiovascular risk than cholesterol levels. The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) LipoProfile test assesses the number of lipoprotein particles, sizes of lipoproteins, levels of cholesterol, and patient risk categories. Furthermore, it enables the identification of patients with underestimated cardiovascular risks—those with a discordant high number of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles (LDL-P) despite low cholesterol levels.

Well. The rate of fire of their missiles and drones has increased over the past few days, and the Strait of Hormuz is still effectively closed. It’s not like we’re just mopping up a few remaining resources right now.
We now have A10s and Apache's in Eye-Ran which means we have total air supremacy over there. We have assets on the ground that is providing recon and intel to CentCom and the Israeli's.
There is still resistance. You can bet the chicoms and rooskies are assisting them for the life of them. There is still work to be done no doubt.
The Strait of Hormuz is a work in progress. Its only been three weeks but this has to be one of the most brilliant military operations in centuries.
We pull off the objectives as outlined by the CiNC and the US military planners, this will change the direction of world power for centuries to come.
