I think it looks pretty good too! Keep up the consistent oil changes.

I had all the brands the OP posted with the exception of Hyundai and Opel. Toyota and Honda are my favorites as far as longevity however I like my Corvette better than any of them. I am totally not BRAND loyal. Years ago I was all GM and had to change my way of thinking due to reliability.

It is so easy to buy investments online or with your phone through companies such as Charles Schwab. There are lots of younger people buying on their own and using their company 401K plans. The problem is many people work from paycheck to paycheck. Hopefully the social security system never...

Well done and I admire your positive attitude and patience. I hope you get many good miles out of it.

I was in Walmart yesterday and they didn't have my Motorcraft FL500S in stock and most of the other filters were out of stock or bought out. I went with the Mobil 1 filter to save time.

So sorry for your loss. I just said a prayer for you and your father. May he rest in peace. Both of my parents went slowly and I had a couple years of knowing they were slowly dying and it was not a shock but something I got used to. I think you did the right thing by seeing him.

Going to a friends house who is having about 25 Corvette people over and he is doing burgers after the Sioux Falls downtown parade. We have a large bunch of Corvettes in the parade. Tonite we are going to my brothers shop out in the country and there will be a wide variety of meats on the...

My Maverick hybrid is the only vehicle I carefully monitor the fuel mileage. Best tank ever 47.9 MPG. I purchased the vehicle new in October of 2025 and so far I have only filled up one time per month. It only has about 5,200 miles on it. It's a great little truck but we have other vehicles...

I wouldn't extend the oil changes. I would keep going the same direction that brought you to 200 rounds. If it isn't broke don't try to fix it and the cost savings is minimal as far as extending those intervals. Those Corolla's run forever if you keep the oil clean and probably run forever if...

I bet there will be people that say well it's good for 25K therefore I should be ok to 30KL or 35K because I drive sympathetically. I just hope it's not the fleet manager for rental cars.

I would never run it 25K either.

I didn't know they made a Durango Hellcat. That bad boy will get those groceries in a hurry. I bet it's a blast to drive! Congrats!

The vehicle looks really nice especially for a Minnesota car. Most around my area have been rust buckets for many years. It must not be driven much in the winter. I wonder if that's an original color? The vehicle looks to be in great condition.

That's an awesome story! I had a 71 Duster 340 and worked for Sears back in about 1974 and changed tires after my full time job. Good to hear you left the job and never looked back. Good job laying rubber and glad you are laughing about it. Those Duster's were very strong runners that' for...

My grandma had a Nova like the blue one it was a 64 with an inline 6 and 3 on the tree. She purchased it brand new and was really proud of it. She even let me drive it one time. Brings back some nice old memories. No need for all those extra options to get her from point A to B.
