I recently bought a new car. Before I threw down that kind of cash, I went through an evaluation process to make sure I would make the right choice. There were a few different cars that appealed to me, but I really had my heart set on a BMW 328i. My wife however, didn't care for my choice. Maybe it was because of the price or maybe she was just committed to the every-day task of denying me of the happiness I deserve. As we discussed this further, I assured her that I would put all the car choices through a thorough analysis and eliminate any candidates that failed to meet our requirements. It would have to satisfy the following conditions: price range, mileage, good fuel economy, strong safety rating, reasonable maintenance cost, roomy, and have some decent get-up-and-go capability. Since the BMW was an expensive investment, she felt confident that I would never find one that would satisfy all the requirements. Little did she know that with some patience and diligent searching, eventually I would locate one that made the cut.
I was wrong.
While I was able to get the price/mileage to intersect, I could not get around the fact that a BMW comes with a high maintenance cost. True to my word, I made the decision based on which car graded out the highest. I bought a Nissan Altima.
While it wasn't the car I was hoping for, after a couple weeks went by - I was really happy with my decision. And that is the same feeling that I typically have about the Cowboysfirst-round draft picks in recent years. While my BMW-type picks over the last few years have consisted of players like Star Lotulelie, Aaron Donald, and Alvin Dupree, I have been very pleased with the choices the Cowboys have made. And with the 2016 NFL Draft offering up a lot of luxury cars available to them, the Cowboys again have to be meticulous in putting together their board so that the right player is selected.
