Also great for rich lease bros or buy used with low usage and then sell before its too late

Bought an ‘07 A8 used awhile back nice & tons of options & fun. Maintenance has been ok. Still runs great.

They make a sweet SUV, wife has a Land Rover but she’s looking at the Mercedes SUV. I’ve got a Toyota Tundra jacked up like a redneck MF and a 2017 Z06 Corevette cammed up…800 HP.

Not a Mercedes fan, outside of their high end sedans/coupes, i think they look ugly on the outside relative to the competition

you hit a lottery then, those are usually money pits


Nice

I think Wings even with Larkin signing have a lot of flexibility.
- Nucker101

Yup

strong down the middle, they'll be a tough out in the playoffs. I think losing Trotz still hurts though

I think next season they’ll not drop off.

Was only $7k needing tires. Replaced the compressor for lift suspension only bill $700. My mechanic is a German car specialist & steered me towards Audi away from Bimmers I had. Better awd & interior. It could fetch $9k+ now

More like C heavy. Some select wingers Sale smallish Barlow big. After that some C’s might be better suited as W’s. At this time I’ve got 4 D for sure going in the 1st. Still working on it & sure to change.

Canucks pick will need to be a fwd. If the Isles pick is in the 13-17 range there is a good chance of a D being available.

High end cars are one of the biggest wastes of money you can make

On Klimovich now that he’s taken the advice to keep his feet moving.

The results he’s seeing has boosted his confidence & opened the door for him. He’s more of a 3rd wheel if he ever gets to the top 6. That’s not my projection but it is a ceiling he should be shooting for. More likely fits in as a3rd liner to help scoring. Don’t slam me for the optimism lol

From the reviews & reports on him & mostly from recent play he’s only starting to figure it out. I’ll give him slack adjusting to the NA culture & small ice. He needs to keep skating & even improve on it. A big body & great release & solid passing skill. As long as scoring isn’t his only focus he can impact doing all the other so-called small things. Top 6 3rd wheel isn’t as easy as it sounds. It’s a position that can change at any time if inconsistent. Hog is best my example & Pod a close 2nd being slower to acclimate to the culture. Overall I still see it being 2years more likely 3 for these 3 to be fully developed & contributing. Hog gives me the least confidence. Pod should be top 6.

Pretty much the way I see it playing out. I’d have only Reinbacher a reach at 6oa.

The reason I will never buy them new. Wait awhile & buy used & pay a fraction of the price. Japanese is always the best way to go if new.

I can easily see Sandin-Pellikka going to Van with the 15th pick

There is also Lukas Dregicevic. He looks like someone worth taking in the middle of the 1st round. Oliver Bonk in the second. Same with Michael Hrabal for a future goalie.

So thinking on the tight cap world leading up to the TDL.

Boeser comes to mind to pretty much giveaway to get cap space. Get 1 piece for the future. Then use cap as the 3rd team in a trade to get another asset probably a high pick.

Yes they make some nice stuff too. Pricey, but nice vehicles.

I know it’s old fashioned, but I still like my Mercedes.

Very Sharp.

Audi 👍

I do like Audi alot but again can be very pricey with parts and maintenance outside of warranty. Newer ones seems to have small issues too a good friend is the parts guy at the Audi/Volks dealership in the lower mainland. He gets a great lease deal as an employee but said he would never buy one personally lol

Yipes. Looks like Bo is still in 'Beta' version on the Isle.

Pretty sad seeing Seth Jones as an all star. Hawks stink if that’s all they got. Lol

The market is (frank)ed where I live. Because of the interest hike, a new vehicle and a 4/5 year old lease-return cost the same. My gf and I just bought new, but it's a low end Chevy Equinox. Tough to justify anything fancier when you drive for 30 mins a day max

If buying German then used saves a ton. Try Euro Otto in PoCo he’s a great mechanic but usually booked for 2 weeks in advance. Done my plug 🤪
