Honestly, I bought the car to help boost the economy. I don't even like driving it that much. I knew I should have bought a Prius. It would have made more financial sense. Oh well, I guess now I have to live with my choices.

A 4-2-5 defense has a weak safety. Pretty much does what the SS does but on the weak side.

Isnt that a nickel formation?

Edit. I guess there is a weak and strong side safety and a free safety. So its like a zone cover defense in a prevent formation. Weird.

Shame this is a finances and financial advice thread... I find it neat hearing what people do, a lot of interesting professions out there.

30 years old, wish I could say I was a fighter pilot. But I'm a IT guy that does VMware'y things on their payroll.

No kids and no student loan debt thanks to a small 4 year sacrifice.
