Daughter had a used Honda CRV she got as an off lease turn in. Sold it when she moved to NYC.

Buy a new or used Honda. You won’t go wrong.

My sister bought a 2013 Honda Civic. She loved that car. Then her physical ailments made it impossible for her to drive, so she gave the car to my daughter. Solid, trouble free gas sipper that's roomy enough for their young family of four.

Depending on her age and finances, she might be better off with a lease.

Factory-set price. No haggling. Cheaper each month than buying, builds equity (at least Honda's do). I did this for my mom who is 85. Who knows if she'll even be driving in three years?

I have had like 4 new cars over the last 7 years. I have never put a single penny down on a lease. and have rolled my equit
y over each lease. I presently have $6,000 in equity and have moved up 2 levels to a very nice car that is just 2.5 years old.

Also, this is a great time of year to get a good deal on a 2003 model.

Others will disagree with this. YMMV.

Agree, not looking good tonight. I'll still root for them.

Me and both of my kids are part owners of the team. Yeah I bought 3 shares of the team for me and both of my kids. They are not worth anything other than bragging rights (no dividends, cant sell them but you can pass them down when you die to family members).

The Packers are the only publicly owned team. If they are ever sold, the proceeds go to Packer charities. Originally the proceeds were to go to a local VFW or something but they changed that and the proceeds would go to the Packer's chosen charities. Bottom line is the Pack will never be sold or moved. The NFL passed a law in the 80's (I think) that no team can be publicly owned except for the Packers. They are grandfathered in and is the only team in the NFL which is owned buy the public and not a single billionaire.

I've had the the team running in my blood for generations. I remember when I was young and if we sat in front of the TV when the Packers (and Brewers) were on, grandpa would yell at us to move aside so he could watch the game.

Packers have had highs and lows over the years during my lifetime but I still root for them.

Wonder how they got their name and the history?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Bay_Packers 

Lombardi Trophy.. cough, cough... named after the great Vince Lombardi, a Packer coach .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Lombardi_Trophy 

Another piece of history, the Packers have 13 NFL championships. Yep, more than any NFL team in history. Brady and Belechick are only halfway there and will not get any more.

I own a couple shares myself. While the ownership may be more symbolic than anything else, I can proudly say I am an owner. How many Dallas Cowgirls fans can say that? [jester]

Been a Packers fan since I was 7. Read the sports headline one morning: "GB Beats NY For NFL Title". Had no idea who GB, NY or NFL were but thought the picture of Jerry Kramer kicking a FG with the G on the side of the helmet was pretty cool. Slowly learned more but five years later I would buy two books, the "Bart Starr Biography" by John Devaney and a book with the 1966 NFL stats and that cemented my love for football as well as the Packers.

Best publication on the history of the Packers:

Never read that book. I should put it on my list. Another good one is When Pride Still Mattered : A Life Of Vince Lombardi

Before they became head coaches, both Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry worked together as offense and defense coordinators for 5 years for the NY Giants in the late 50's.
