Yeah.. surprisingly a lot of Asian and other global brands are assembled here in US or Mexico even. Toyota/Lexus makes a lot of cars in Kentucky. Actually most of the Camry, RAV4, Toyota Avalon and Lexus ES you see around you are actually assembled in Kentucky. Fun fact if you look at a car’s vin number if it begins with the letter J it was assembled in Japan, K for Korea etc. If it begins with a 1, 4 or 5 it was assembled in US. Most Toyotas I see for sale usually begin with the number 4. Occasionally I will see a Toyota beginning with J. But nowadays it’s mainly US assembled Toyotas around. The one car brand that I’ve noticed that almost all models are still currently made in Japan is Mazda. Definitely if I were to buy a used car I would exclusively pick a Toyota or Honda. Still always have a chance of getting a lemon but higher overall chance of still getting a decent used car if I pick a boring Camry or Corolla. And for me a boring and predictable car that will get me from point a to b consistently without falling apart all the time is what I would pick everytime. I’m not a big car guy obviously but yeah I’m all about practical use of car as means of transportation that will last a long time with basic maintenance. If the engine is solid as a rock and good transmission, I can handle the other wear and tear issues like brakes other stuff easily!

ESPN.comEx-Marlins GM Ng hired as AUSL commissionerAthletes Unlimited Softball League has named Kim Ng as its commissioner after the former Marlins general manager served as a senior adviser to the league. Now she’s the big boss of the softball league. Thanks again for all your contributions here. And hope you do well in your new role!

Before the season began my prediction was that Mervis would lead the team in HR this year with 21. At this rate he might get there by all star break. 😂

Hey, I’m the unofficial mb.com historian/virtual assistant. 😂

I think someone stole your doors bro.

I’m starting to wonder if @SonOfJack just exclusively posts now in the VIP board. 😮

I bet @SonofJack could have figured it out when he was the admin. Too bad that he left this place in disappointment after pollythewog broke up with him after betting all of his houses. Then once Polly realized that @Admin was a real estate mogul she saw a great opportunity to have a ton of houses to bet.

@Rydawg

But you are a Muts fan now!

Lmao.. Seems like tonight is a big back to reality for a lot of Marlins fans with their heads in the clouds after starting 3-1 series. I knew that this series vs the Mets was going to to be the first real observation of how the Marlins would fair against a good mlb team. Can’t rely on facing the pirates closer to get runs every night. 😂 I’m maintaining my 53-109 prediction. That equates to winning around 1 out of every 3 games. And that’s on average. Of course there will be some weeks where Marlins sweep series and some times when they will have 8 game losing streaks. But over all they seems like a team that will win around 1 out of every 3 games they play. 53-109

He’s gonna lead the fish in wins this year with 15… Or 10.. 😮

What can I say? He’s a popular guy.

@Rydawg

Marlins should acquire him and then they can have the XXX squad. 😮

I picked Nick Fortes. Because even though he struggled heavily with throwing out baserunners or not throwing them out actually. I still say he had a lot of key moments this week that contributed a lot overall to the Marlins wins.

That is very true. Marlins bats really seem to come alive when he pitches. Too bad they aren’t going to see him every single game they play.

Do Marlins lead the league in players who names start with X?

Omg yes! Having burger and Luzardo would have taken them from a 53-109 team to a 69-93 team easily!

Finally! I’m happy they won. But I’m not that happy with the game overall. Marlins had like 3-4 legit chances to win the game already. Can’t keep relying on chance and other team playing bad

Finally. I hope this game is finished soon.

Did you get your parlay?

Remember those movies we used to watch when we were young about like how a 12 year old somehow got to play in MLB? This feels like a whole team of them.

What the heck is going on? This is a AA team playing in the big leagues. This is a joke. Why am I even bothering? 😂

Time for Wagaman to bag a win!
