Anyone tried a tool to clean interior windshield, something like https://www.amazon.com/Windshield-Microfiber-Pivoting-Cleaning-Stalwart/dp/B003K5S4NW New Camry's windshield is very difficult to clean with the slope. So looking for such a tool. Conceptually, it looks good but most comments...

I bought AMD for $4.88 a pop and everyone made fun of me. Sat on it for 8 years before it decided to show some movement. It is, of course, a survivorship bias, but if you believe in it, go for it. I am also considering it, limit is set to $10.

Re: Samsung Bloatware, cheaper Samsung mobile you buy, more bloatware you end up with. That is how they probably reduce the cost to the user by charging the bloatware app creators/providers. Got S24Ultra directly from Samsung, no bloatware and every app there is on this phone, is uninstallable.

Every dealer seems to have a different price. The closest to me charges $9.80+tax. A little far, another dealer charges $4.28. I got 25% discount on black Friday on that $4.28. Check the prices through Toyota parts website. @twelve Isn't your Camry rated for 0W-16? 2023 Camry Hybrid is, and I...

Do you live near the warehouse? They build a new warehouse about 5 miles from my place and for some deliveries more than $25, they will deliver between 2 and 5 am.

As others have said, I would research Brother printers and get one. They are not fussy about 'genuine' consumables. Wirecutter recommends HL-L2350DW or MFCL2750DW. The latter is similar to one I have, Brother DCPL2540DW. Going strong after 9 years of regular use.

I have bought a good number of phones from Ebay/Swappa. The phone conditions on Ebay I found to be better than stated. Whether its a 'really' new or not, you will most likely never know because all phones are wiped clean before sold. If you ever suspect, its not new as stated, you can always...

STRONGLY suggest AGAINST buying from 3rd party on Walmart. If any issues arises, you most likely will be SOL. I found eBay/Swappa to be better options. Ebay has it for $249 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/204640563153)

2006 Sentra 1.8S torque converter threw a code (P0744) out of nowhere. Transmission fluid was regularly changed. The mechanic wasn't inclined on spending money trying to figure out or replace it. I really wanted to find out what caused it because I took it to work in the afternoon, it was fine...

I am curious where do folks find 0W-16 5 qt containers of Castrol? All I can find from regular sources are 1 qt bottles. Mobil 1 AFE 0w-16 is the only $2x.xx, rest all are $30+

That is expensive. My local dealer used to charge $6, Haven't checked in a couple of years. Other local dealers on part.subaru.com are charging $9.xx at the moment.

TBH, I didn't check. I just let oil drain and don't look at it for 15 minutes. I chose Valvomax over Fumoto because the way they operate. I dislike tap-like locking feature on Fumoto.

Subaru filter. Some dealerships have black filters in stock. These came with Japanese built cars, supposedly little better than the blue ones. Also, consider installing oil drain valve. That will make oil change very easy. Other options is Fumoto, but I liked this one better.

AARP Tax-aide is the best I have found so far. Volunteers working there are actual accountants/tax professionals. have been using them for almost 10 years, never had complaints.
