Parents got a 2020 Corolla LE from Carmax almost a year ago and paid about 17k for it. It now trades around 23k. I picked up a 2021 Accord Sport 2.0 in June, which I don’t like that much, and it appraises for the payoff amount today.  

This album was a monumental 90's album. My favorite song on that album is actually Right Through You. Anyways, the anger (at least what I perceived as anger) she had on the song You Oughta Know was very riveting and new. I then heard her sing it unplugged on Howard Stern and it’s just a different song. There is still…

My current 2021 Accord Sport 2.0. I knew it wouldn’t get the same gas mileage my 2018 Accord Sport 1.5, but I didn’t think it would be this weak.  I drive a little more than average, 21,000 miles a year, and fill up every 4 days or so.  I don’t really use the power it has available since I drive mostly city.  The…

I just checked and it still shows the markup.

This is true, but West Houston Subaru isn’t doing markups, just MSRP.  This is when they actually have stuff on their lots.  Yesterday I drove by, as it’s on my way to work, and they had maybe 10 cars on their lot.  This morning, 3.  

What people are willing to pay these days is crazy.  This is also a crazy price to pay.  There was this guy on r/askcarsales who had a hard on for a Sentra. He was adamant about getting GAP, extended warranty and a maintenance plan.  According to the post, he ended up getting an SV trim for 35k OTD.  We weren’t sure…

So true. It’s for the lifetime of the transmission, not the car itself.  If your transmission dies at 60k, the fluid did it’s job since it lasted the lifetime of the transmission.

Keeping your A/C off will noticeably increase your gas mileage.  Maybe that was true 30 years ago, but not so much today.  Similar to how manuals offer better gas mileage than automatics.  Not so much today.  

Yup. There’s this cell phone repair company there in Houston that advertises on facebook and mentions that they have several PS5 models for sale. Their disclaimer states that due to low availability, they had to buy them at higher than normal prices. I asked how much they are selling them for. Cash is $1000 for the…

Good question.  If it’s more efficient at being a fan, I’d swap it out.  

I did.  I hate having to read subtitles.  It’s even more annoying that during cutscenes or longer conversations, I sometimes get up and get something to snack on or get a drink, I don’t know what I missed because I wasn’t reading a subtitle and don’t speak Japanese.  

The fuel gauge below the fuel gauge on Nissans. After your car hit a 1/4 tank, refer to the one below to see how much is left under a 1/4 tank. Of course it’s irrelevant now because of the remaining miles left readout in most cars on the dash.

You must be looking at a Bronco Sport.  They aren’t the same vehicle. 

I got super lucky on my PS5. I had been following Matt Swider on Twitter and I had been getting setup on Walmart and Target with my CC info, updated address, and being logged in. Then Best Buy drops unexpectedly. Crap...I had to login, but it was an older account and I had to reset my password. Then get authenticated…

I’m the professional.  Work in IT.  Mental ambitions, but no real physical ambition.  Thinks will win the lottery and retire.  Nope, never will.

1st gear:  I was perfectly fine with buying out my lease on my 2018 1.5T Accord Sport.  Got an oil change and dealer talked about the value of my car.  I had 4k in positive equity that I didn’t have a few months ago.  Paid sticker for a 2021 Accord Sport 2.0 and the car payments only went up $10.01.  I did get them to…

Here in Texas they stopped the extra unemployment payments.  Most of the labor shortages we’re having are minimum wage jobs.  So yes, cutting them off may motivate them to go out and get a job.  However the other issue is that people may no longer want to enter a job market that isn’t considered essential.  Food…

1st gear. My local Subaru dealership, West Houston Subaru, hasn’t had much on their lots for awhile now. Maybe 9 cars on the lot up front. Sometimes less than that.  In the back I have no idea. Check their website and some of their stuff is listed as in transit.  Yet Gillman Honda is well stocked with cars, even with…

As a gun owner, I will defend my property with lethal force if necessary. This is NOT one of those times though. You catch the thief in the act, chances are high that they will scurry off. Sure they can fight back and there is a chance you may get seriously hurt or die if they’re armed, but that’s not the majority of…

As a gun owner in Texas licensed to carry, I am opposed to constitutional carry. However I am also not afraid of it. Around 20 other states have it with no serious issues. Granted their population is a lot lower than ours, but bad people are still going to get guns and do bad things, laws or not. The same regulations…
