Chris Ash Drives a Honda Accord!

[zazoo2002]

The man made over $500k, yet still drives an Accord. I personally couldn't care less what kind of car he drives, but in our materialistic, selfie-driven culture, I do think - short of him being sponsored by honda ; ) - that it possibly offers some interesting insights on CA. He appears to be a no-nonsense, pragmatic, selfless, and very substantive man. From what I have read and seen, I like what he represents.

Now, that said...he clearly will need some bling to wow the recruits! I just don't think that an Accord - even pimped - sends the message that RU is B1G time! He may need to go up-market. Any suggestions RU faithful?!

 

[eceres]

We give him $1k month car leasebudget... He'll have something nicer here

 

[RU4Real]

Bear in mind that Honda Accords are built in Marysville, OH. So there might be some kind of a thing.

He'll definitely need to step up now that he's a B1G HC, but I also feel like the red Escalade has been part of the HC benefits ever since Schiano.

 

[RUtix4me]

Unreal what people will post here. His contract has a stipend for a car lease, which I am sure he will take advantage of once he gets here at the start of the year.

I wonder what brand of toilet paper he uses?

 

[zazoo2002]

Hmm...you may be onto something RU4Real. And, I'm not sure CA sees CA in a red Escalade.

[knightfan7]

Solid, reliable car. Not a lot of flash or innovation.

This tells me we're in for more of the ol Pro Set lol.

 

[The RUT]

I'm sure he'll be driving a Ford soon enough

 

[RUtix4me]

Do they sell thus in PSU blue? Could be a great stocking stuffer!

 

[zazoo2002]

Relax RUtix4me. It's basically a silly OT post...'til the bowl season is in full swing. And, if you have any knowledge of CA's preferred TP brand and usage habits, please don't hesitate to share.

 

[ru1869]

He will definitely upgrade his ride. Not because he wants to, but because recruits like to ride with their coach in a nice ride. That is the reason for the red Escalades.

 

[RU4Real]

If the $1k per month figure is accurate, I think MY recruits would see me rockin' something like an R8.

They are more than that.

 

[koleszar]

Actually I read somewhere that there are three types of car owners that reflect on their personalities.

Car guys and gals- They need flashy new cars and most expensive. These people usually care what others think about them and crave materialistic things
Practical- These people can afford better cars but see it just as a means to get around. They are usually more work oriented and could careless what others think about them.
Work-These people see their vehicles as implements to get things done. They could careless about gas mileage, what people think and constantly do projects to get things done.

I think our guy Ash falls in the second category.

 

[RU4Real]

They are more than that.

I'd be willing to kick in a few hundred bucks. When I bought my car a few months ago they were running R8 leases for $1299.

 

[Knight Shift]

No Audi when they are a sponsor? Q7 not cool enough?

 

[zazoo2002]

Tesla? Practical and sporty.

 

[ScarletCrimson]

Red Tesla- like.

That said, this thread is ridiculous.

Almost as silly as the Fred Hill tie debates.

 

[zazoo2002]

Totally redunculous! That said, maybe a scarlet red bugatti veyron? Also sporty and practical...from a man's perspective.

FAIL

What did Flood drive?

 

[OriginalKnight]

BTW - Jeff Van Gundy drove a Honda Civic when he coached the Knicks.

he didn't have to recruit his players... :)

Really?
I thought it was Patrick Ewing who drove the Civic.
My bad.

 

[zazoo2002]

What did Flood drive?

Red Escalade. Since we've moved from the Schiano tree, I suspect we'll see something else in front of the Hale Center. Aaaannnd, we beat the J-Lo post count...phew!

 

[zazoo2002]

Patrick Ewing in a Civic? Is that even possible? Maybe if you remove the front seats?

 

[jreinsdorf]

If Ash isnt driving a red pickup then color me disappointed :fistbump:

 

[RU31trap]

At least we won't be reading about Ash filing for bankruptcy in a decade or so. The latest news on Clinton Portis filing for bankruptcy should be criminal. The guy earned 43 million gross and today he's holding on for dear life. That's why I've been advocating for the NFL & NBA to hold back 75% of an athlete's income and then parcel it out to him or her over the remainder of their life after retirement.

 

[mildone]

It's the Cadilac of non-Cadilacs. Accord,there is no substitute.

 

[LevaosLectures]

The only time I think about my car is when it breaks.

Car people are strange to me. Buy hey, different strokes. I lease a Rav 4 for $120 a month. I have no particular complaints or praise to offer. It runs.

 

[Caliknight]

If you had options, you'd likely think otherwise.

 

[miketd1]

Didn't Van Gundy drive a Civic hatchback as coach of the Knicks?

 

[mikefla]

Who cares WHAT he drives? Maybe coach ASH is just a modest guy with middle of the road values and doesnt even WANT an Escalade or the like. There are plenty of other great options....

 

[LevaosLectures]

If you had options, you'd likely think otherwise.

Chortle. I didn't even own a car until I was 30. But, of course, you are far too stupid to fathom that someone might not share your slug-brained perspectives on anything. I'm glad you enjoy the fast shiny vroom vrooms. You and my 3 year old have something in common.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

I'm sure there's a red Escalade in his future.

 

[RU31trap]

A vehicle is like a wardrobe everything comes down to personal preference. If you ever get a chance read the book "The Predators Ball" by Connie Bruck. It's about the Junk Bond Era and focuses on Michael Milken and Ivan Boesky and how they lived two totally different lifestyles. If my memory serves me right Milken who was earning 10's of millions in 1984 had his wife walking around in shoes with plastic heels and a 1978 Oldsmobile Cutless, and people say generalizations are BS. Ivan Boesky on the other hand lived a much more lavish lifestyle. He was married to Seems Boesky a real social light who came from money. My point is here we have two very wealthy people who lived different lifestyles.

So douchy

Red Escalade ESV...a real mans ride.

Now, that said...he clearly will need some bling to wow the recruits! I just don't think that an Accord - even pimped - sends the message that RU is B1G time! He may need to go up-market. Any suggestions RU faithful?!

Zappa, $500k doesn't go as far as it used to.

The man has a national championship ring after leading tOSU defense. I'd say that's some pretty damn good bling to show off.
