Lived in Austin for five years, then Round Rock. We moved to far west San Antonio about five years ago. It has its pros and cons but I like it more than Austin. We are on the Medina county line.

yep prices up on everything.

we bought a santa cruz mostly because of warranty and 2.9% @48 months. Mitsu doesn't do anything special for the warranty and they arent offering a low rate so why even look there. Get an elantra or a accent if you like that body of car.

Just put a battery in my friend's passat. He called me on lunch to help him after work. I told him maybe shop around, he was like nah will just go to O'reilly. $249 for an AGM. Ouch. I think they were more than buying it from VW themselves.

You guys will laugh, but I go to this place called Brake Check. I bought lifetime brakes from them, and I get my oil changed by them once a year and tell them to measure the front and rear pads. This way I don't wear the pads out and kill my warranty. Yes I can do it in my driveway, but I don't...

prefer the penjamin every now and again..

2016 ford escape. Bought it for about 12,500 about five years ago with about 15k miles on it. Sold it for right around $10,000 last week with 95k miles.

I have a 2.0L NU GDI in my Tuscon.. It uses about half a quart of 10w30 Maxlife with 3500 miles in between oil changes. This vehicle has an extended engine warranty because I completed all the recalls with it, but I need to keep records of maintenance, so I let valvoline change the oil for me.

Cheddar's restaurant has a $14 6oz Sirloin with baked potato and salad. Thats about as low as I go.

After a year of Ford dealers refusing to sell a Maverick at MSRP, we negotiated a good deal on a 2024 Santa Cruz SEL. About $1500 off sticker price. 2.9% for 48 months. 3 years maintenance, 5/60k bumper to bumper, and 10/100k powertrain. This has the non turbo smartstream engine, that has GDI...

they sell a little item to plug into the cigarette lighter to keep the memory if you want to go that route.

yep when the time comes up you can re-negotiate with them over chat. I pay 7 bucks including taxes for one car and one stream. Works fine.

I was told that Canada uses the T568a standard. The way I wire them in the US is T568b. Any truth to that?

Kitty needs to eat cat food not chicken breasts only. They are fortified with taurine and nutrients they need. I have two cats and they split a can of purina one twice a day (wet), and are left a minimal amount of purina one dry. Always new stainless steel dishes washed in the dishwasher. Fresh...

I live near a gravel quarry, and heavy heavy construction during Texas drought conditions. I buy two cabin filters and two engine air filters for each car, and throw them in at six month intervals regardless of condition. The cabin filters are usually trashed at six months.

On a comsumer drive, you need to monitor the SMART values for predictive failure, and replace them when they do that. The trim function tells the OS what parts of the drive are available to right, basically how much free space you have. This is done automatically on modern operating systems on...

Take it someplace and let them change it with a vacuum machine.

A colleague of mine has a dealer maintained 5-6 year old outback. It needed a transmission replaced to the tune of $8200 last week. At around 75k miles, with all fluid changes done.

I administer various enterprise flash and hybrid flash SAN's at work. I have yet to see a flash module fail. The spinning ones fail from time to time. On the desktop side the guys have had some of the m2 modules fail, but that is a difference between a $90 part and a $2000 part.

worked in law enforcement IT for about 6 years in Texas. The AC keeps the equipment in the car alive as well as the driver.
