Kia Rondo - Family car compromise... doesn't look quite like a minivan but seats 7 in a pinch and can haul a LOT of stuff, esp. with the Yakima box on top.

Subaru STi. I wanted something powerful with all-wheel drive so I could use it year round. Next year it goes away and I'm looking to go a little more upscale.

Well I have several vehicles depending on my mood. Cavallier for work, (saving gas for golf money), a Jeep Grand Cherokee to make the wifey feel safe, a Windstar for when I'm hauling the entire gang, (4 kids) and a Harley for when I'm feeling stressed and feel the need for freedom!!

I have a Focus and an Escape (both Ford)... why, they were affordable and get pretty decent gas mileage. I would like to ditch the Focus for maybe a Honda Element, another Escape, or something else.

Like a Nissan GTR ..lol?

Is a Metro exotic? That's the 'other' car

55mpg is pretty out of this world, wouldn't you say? At least by US standards. The rest of the world has wide choice of fuel-efficient vehicles but we have a wide choice of Hummers, and Suburbans and Tahoes and Escalades, etc... We finally are getting the Smart Cars over here but they've been 'modified to meet US standards' meaning they get shittier mpg than the originals by 10 or 15 mpg.

2007 Kia Optima... nice looking, great gas mileage, great warranty.

I don't buy into the anthropogenic global warming scam for a second... but I drive 40 miles each way to work, so gas mileage is an economic decision for me.

Ford Ranger. I needed a car and this one was priced right or so I thought. I wish I would have looked a little longer but like I said I needed a car "yesterday" and didn't want to wait until "tomorrow" to buy one. Now I wish I would have waited.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
