I grew up in Buffalo in the 80's and 90's. The vehicle inspection shops would wave the inspection sticker over the head of my parents, who had no money, and would take them to the cleaners. We were literally so nervous about getting the car inspected, becuase we may or may not have enough money...

Go drive a base trim 2023 Sonata SE. They are 2.5L and GDI with MPI injection (8 injectors), so that should solve the carbon problems that have plagued the Hyundai's for years. $25,250 with a 100k warranty. I think the new car market is fixin to tank, so you will be able to get one way under...

I've been a computer engineer for 15 years. My preference will always be a Dell Precision. Take a look at dell refurbished webpage. or dell outlet. You can put a long warranty on any of their products. I used to recommend the Latitude line of laptops, but the new ones seem flimsy compared to...

I have an old briggs powered Deere mower. Been changing the oil with one of those little bottles of lawnmower oil once a year. Usually supertech or briggs branded. I don't think mine uses a drop of oil and its 15 years old. Mowing season in south texas means hot operation.

All the ford dealers in San Antonio still refuse to sell me a maverick for MSRP or less without a dozen addons. I told them to pound sand and will keep my escape running. The only thing on their lots is $70k pickup trucks.

for what you are spending you can get a precision fixed workstation from dell refurbished with a xeon processer in it for about 400 bucks. A few years back I bought a fixed workstation and put dual Xeons in it, and 64gb ram, a 4 drive RAID array, and a M2 boot drive. The setup is not compatible...
