Most of you know I coach kids in basketball, well I had a major set back in 2010. We had 12 players and a good, successful team, but a "click" of parents wanted to take their kids to the next level and decided to take 8 of the best players, and exclude even kids who were close friends from that team. I was left with only 4 players, including my son. As you can imagine, I was pretty devastated, and took it very personally, since I was coach, and my son was on the team. I suddenly became recruiter. I thought long and hard about how to build loyalty, and decided to recruit NICE kids, and looked outside the box. We added kids from India, Lebanon, Jordan, and even 2 kids from the MPDU housing. (Moderately Priced Dwelling Units). These kids were outsiders here in wealthy Potomac, and definitely not the "click" type. But - I saw potential where noone else did. Then we set to work. The first season we played in different divisions, so we did not play against the other team. We had a rough start, but bounced back and ended the season on a strong note last year, 2011. We sent the kids together to skills camp in the off season, and we've gone as a team to watch the local high school play, to build team work and camaraderie. Well, we got the 2012 schedule, and guess what? The other team was on it this time. They had not been successful in the tougher division and decided to move back down. The stage was set - D-Day Februaru 4, 2012. The kids have been talking about it since the schedule came out in early December. They go to the same school, so there was trash talk from the other side about how they were the "cool kids" and how they would crush us. Those same kids invited all their 4th grade teachers to see the game, and 3 of them showed up! Show time. My son had the game of his lifetime and scored the first and last points of the game. The original 4 kids (who they did not want on their team!) combined for 10 points, enough to make the difference. We won 24-21! It was a wonderful story of redemption via hard work and diversity. It's what's on the inside that counts. Not the size of your head, but rather the size of your heart! I am one very, very proud coach and dad.

I see that a number of people on this site have had the same issues as I have with my 2007 Acadia. I love the vehicle, but it is the biggest headache I have ever purchased. Shortly after purchasing it, my battery went dead. Dealer Replaced. Then the whole timing chain problem, engine had to be tore out at 59,000 miles, new "redesigned" timing chain not available yet, so without my vehicle for 4 weeks. , Head gasket replaced along with other parts, blamed my Napa oil filter and said broke apart and fragments in motor and althought they did not have to warranty dealer tells me because I did not use an AC Delco Filter, they would warranty the work anyway. Truth is if a manufacturer says you have to use their parts for a warranty to remain in tact, they have to supply you with those parts. It is a federal law. So no big favor there. Had car back less than 24 hours and it left me sit again, dealer forgot to reset something with Stabiltrak. So had to miss an appointment and vehicle had to be towed. Next the transmission breaks apart. at 79,000 miles. Replaced under warranty. Now at 105,000 miles, just out of warranty, took in to dealer befause of knocking in engine. They tear the engine down and try to give me the same song and dance as before with oil filter breaking apart. When I called GM they said if same issue may extend warranty. So tear motor out yet again and low and behold, I get the same song and dance because I used a napa filter again. The compression of the motor is tearing the filter apart. But they don't seem to think this is an "engine" problem. Napa is standing by their filter and upon talking to a napa store owner I am told they sold 160 of these filters. Not a one problem, and this happens to me twice, but Dealership claims not a motor issue. Obviously GM does not read websites such as this where there are are pages and pages of Acadia owners with exactly the same issues. But GM does not admit these motors are junk. How can that be. My motor is in pieces at the Dealership for 2 weeks now while I am trying to get someone either GM or Napa to man up that there is a problem, somewhere, most likely GM and then my dealership, Ebersole of Lebanon is whining that my vehicle is tying up a lift and that they are paying for my rental vehicle. (a grand old pontiac vibe with all the standard equipment) as compared to my fully loaded Acadia that I am paying $500 a month payment for while it sits on their lift. I really feel for their hardship. So is anyone making headway getting GM to own up that their motors are bad.

This is what happenes after the building gets washed away due to flooding north of Lebanon, Pa / Hershey, Pa. This became a "Yard Find" instead of a "Barn Find." Course they haven't found the barn yet. They had to move all the vehicles off the road and out of the Swatara Creek. Odie

Actually no it was not an April Fools Joke. Top Gear also did a piece on it. At present time it is still in concept form from BMW for the Australia market. They have been doing testing in and around "The Ring" with it. Top Gear BMW M3 The one I took the picture of is an actual street legal driver here in Lebanon, PA. Odie

I just bought an 08 LX 5spd from Gerrish Honda in Lebanon NH. Their offer was $20,195 out the door (no sales tax in NH). That's a few hundred off sticker and less then Edmunds.com's TMV price of $20,995. They only charge $95 for doc fees, no extras, no junk, no games, and the entire sales experience start to finish was EXCELLENT, I HIGHLY recommend these guys. My salesman was low pressure and accommodating, never once "asked for the sale" or any of the usual tactics. The F&I guy didn't offer us a single extra thing, nor was there any aftermarket anything on the car, just a straight LX with 2 miles on the odo. Honda American credit's rate offer was slightly less then my bank so I went with that (6.44%). The price was fair so there was no haggling, it took them 30 minutes to prep the car and get the papers made up, it took 10 minutes to sign everything, I may never buy a car anywhere else again. :P They did all the VT state paperwork for us (we live in VT, right on the VT/NH border) even so we know just what our state tax will be and all the DMV paperwork is done. They extend the b2b warranty to 4 years 50k miles as well as offering free car washes 7 days a week, discount oil changes, loaner cars, etc. I imagine I could have saved a few hundred on the price somewhere else but all the extras and the stellar buying experience were worth every penny. This is a TON of car for twenty grand. We do so much complaining about bad dealerships on here, I just have to give props to a GOOD one, Gerrish Honda in Lebanon, NH.
