Only thing I don't like about newer Accords is that shitty CVT. It's not like Honda has ever made a decent trans, but they completely gave up on that one. Not sure if the AV6 is CVT too. At least the AV6 has a MT option yes?

I cant wait for the new gen wagons GM is building...If they have the same engine/engine technology as the C7, its going to be awesome...Steven was telling me he averaged 30mpg on the trip to Bowling Green...WTF hahaha thats insane for a V8 motor hahha...

30 mpg.. yeah.. but his C7 weights like 2 lbs right?
Wagon is going to be pushing 2.5 tons.. no way. The V chugs gas. I can probably do 20-22 if I cruise 60-65 mph.

It's like why the hell didn't you say something BEFORE I spent the money?!
And I know why- they want to sound like they support us. But really, they're happier we go with the cheaper option....

Just saw a phantom gray Vagon on the ride home.. It looked so good. I'm going to be like bob and trade in for a MT Vagon. Phantom Gray (graphite) looked pretty sweet too.

Mayweather is too fast and has a tough defense to land clean shots. A lot of the top guys have just enough defense but rely on their hands. Mayweather is fast and has the hands, but doesn't rely on them. He's looking for clean counter punches and making Manny open up. He's not undefeated out of luck.
If you watch Pacquiao vs Bradley deux, you'll see that although Manny has the angles and the footwork, a good defense gives him fits and makes him open. He's also an emotional fighter and Mayweather isn't. If Manny smells blood he opens up, he'll leave himself open as well (which is how Marquez put his lights out).
Mayweather is happy just sticking to his game and picking his opponent apart. It could be Manny's downfall. I see it going to decision win for Mayweather. Could be a decision win upset for Manny, but with the deck stacked against Manny, I doubt it.. unless they are just taking it to the bank and milking a rematch.
Mayweather talks shit and has a lot of personal issues, but he's really a master of the game. It's easy to hate him.. as well that douche Jon Jones.. but you have to respect their skill. I don't think he out boxes Manny. In most cases, they outbox their opponent. Their speed and style will make for a complex match, hopefully a great one. Look for Mayweather to jam Manny's feet while turning away from Manny's lead turn left hook. Mayweather will have his eyes open.. he doesn't want to cover up and take a beating like Margarito or Cotto did.

Don't regret not getting the Vagon, Maj. Your car is solid and fantastic and you get the best of both worlds...sports car, and automatic for traffic. 22 ain't bad for highway cruising considering I get like 26 with half the motor displacement and no SC.

No need to be cocky. IMO, "undefeated" says enough in itself. Being cocky just makes it look worse when you finally lose that first match. Tyson was a badass with many 1st round KO fights. Eventually, Buster Douglas knocked him out. I think Tyson's only downfall is he's 5'10", which made it hard for him to get close enough to land a punch on Holyfield. But, if he could connect, the other guy was out cold.

Reminds me of the Chopped All-Star show I watched last night. Chef Madison Cowan was the last Tournament of Champions winner and beat Iron Chef Jose Garces back on Iron Chef America. Great chef! Undefeated.. but lost in the 2nd round of the episode.
Show some humility Mayweather.. that's one of the biggest reasons I want to see him lose, to see how he'll handle it.

But in the case of people like Tyson, give a guy in his early 20ies a bunch of money, a hectic lifestyle, a lack of preparation, a 1 foot reach disadvantage and an opponent fighting for his recently deceased mother and it no surprise he lost that one.

Holyfield wasn't Tyson's kryptonite. Tyson lost his edge when Sal died. When Rooney couldn't handle him anymore, he really became undisciplined and soft (plus throw in the Robin drama). If you watch the Buster fight, he's soft and tired and Buster is fast and witty. It wasn't Tyson's worst showing, but he wasn't nearly prepared as Buster. Buster pulled a Tyson subsequently vs Holyfield. Fat, slow and undisciplined.
Tyson trained to KO fools early on.. obviously he's dangerous and has power but when a guy still has hands in the 9th and is dancing around you, picking you off, out boxing you. You're in trouble. It also doesn't help when you brutalize your sparring partners and can't get a full workout.
