    The cost of living in 2024....

    Excellent posts above. I echo the technical training route over college in my case. I flunked out of regular college at 18, had extreme anxiety and various home issues. Was told that I needed to enroll in college as part of my parents divorce decree, on my dime. Parents had no money and...

    Guy living in his car

    A bit of prayer is needed for the unhoused. I grew in in Buffalo, Ny and rarely seen it. I moved to Austin then San Antonio and it is all over the place. Areas of San Antonio are becoming like California, Austin even worse. Tent cities under every overpass. Many are not from this country...

    Time for new brakes, Saturn Ion Redline

    Rockauto stocks brembo uv coated rotors for $49 each and pads for $44.79. I would go that way, and you will probably get it for cheaper than the local parts store.

    Buying a ROKU streaming device: beware of this

    Roku is an ad agency, their software is restricted to only their propriatory app store. If you are cool with this then buy them, I personally avoid anything Roku.

    Vehicle feels slightly more sluggish after new spark plug change

    I don't gap the iridium plugs either. My GDI Tuscon needs plugs every 30k so I just toss them in at that interval. I use the NGK IX Iridium (cheapest) from Advance auto. I don't buy plugs online anymore I got counterfeit ones from amazon twice, and ebay once.

    Poor quality work when brake work done; Nasty surprise last night

    We have Caliber auto care here in San Antonio, they are not a cheap shop either, they are a bit on the bougee side. Sorry to here about such imcompetence, and I bet you paid a fortune for their mis-service.

    John Deere 10w30

    i buy lawnmower oil for my deere self propelled only because it comes in a 20oz bottle, allowing for a perfect oil change with no guesswork. I know i'm overpaying but I don't care. I typically use supertech lawnmower oil, and change it once a year. My deere is 15 years old and runs like new.

    Rear brake pad choice

    I used the blue pads before, I thought they were a returned item because they came wrapped in blue shop towels.

    Has anyone been denied an airline flight

    If you have the same name as someone on a TSA list, you can apply for a Redress number and you won't have that problem anymore. I read about this recently as we just went through the TSA Precheck process.

    2015 Mitsubishi Mirage high mileage 1.2 Ltr. engine tear down

    There are a ton of them in South Texas. Me personally I don't think they are big enough to be safe with the jacked up trucks and maniac drivers.

    Going to an NBA game - any suggestions?

    Correct, we go to a few Spurs games each year. There is a steakhouse/bar that offers a ride to and from the game if you purchase a steak entree. Beers inside are $14 so its nice to get a good meal and have a ride, in a school bus to the game. https://www.josephinestreet.com/spurs.php

    Why 93 Octane in a GDI engine if it isn’t called for?

    My Tuscon sometimes pings a little when cold on 87. Seems to be doing it less since I dose it with gumout pretty frequently. I wouldn't put 93 in it though.
