There’s a pretty fucking big difference between saying “I hope they got a Toyota because it’s the most reliable.” and “I hope they got a Toyota because otherwise they threw their money away.”
Your can get a Honda or Mazda and it will be just behind Toyota in reliability or it will be even more reliable than the equivalent Toyota depending on what kind of vehicle you want (Toyota has had some failures too in case you only look at what consumer report says but actually don’t know anything about cars) or you could get a Maserati and it will spend its time at the dealership.
Also, guess you should have kept your money instead of throwing it away?
Sure but also, ive then been driving the thing for nearly 20 years by that point, there are other considerations: safety developments / code, electronics, interior materials, rust, cabling/tubing that it might just be better / more comfortable / nicer to replace.
How are they so damn good? Ive got an old '02 Tacoma with 350k miles on it and the original transmission that I still drive around because the damn thing just keeps going.
Western production “profit worship” systems are literally incompatible with making good products. Toyota has refused to cave to western pressure of creating plastic, planned-obsolescant quote unquote cars.
Based purely on personal experience, Honda is generally far more reliable than Toyota. Mazdas are very hit or miss and Subaru, while fun as hell to drive and work on, are probably the least reliable of the Japanese manufacturers. But they are all excellent options compared to everything else.
As a Subaru owner, I can sort of agree they are not the most reliable after 100-120k, but at least they feel solid and are generally fixable when compared some Korean or American models that cost more to fix than buying another one.
Also, I am not sure how reliable Nissan is now, but they took a big dive in both reliability and build quality from around the 2010s their cars felt like cheap plastic. My 1998 Nissan Sentra outlasted my cousin’s 2005 (and 98 was already not as good as earlier 2000s models).
Ironically, my Chevy has been way more reliable than my wife’s Honda. They’re both the same year, and about the same mileage too. Actually, I think my Chevy has more mileage now, since we usually drive that, when we go out together.
If you’re saving up five grand for months for what I presume is your only car, you’d be a fool to not get the best one you could buy - a Toyota. After that, knock yourself out with whatever projects you want. My Corolla was the first car i ever bought myself and will probably be the last one i own after selling/trading the others.
It’s funny because if you had bought a V6 Toyota truck from the same year you would have been in for one hell of a ride! Engine top end and frame that needs to get replaced, talk about top notch reliability 😘👌
I know it’s hard to admit we might be wrong, but reliability varies by model and a Civic will be just as reliable as a Corolla and it’s been the case for decades now.
I don’t know about freeze drying, but when I was a kid, I remember most people getting orange juice concentrate in a frozen tube that you would defrost and add water to.
I still use frozen juice tubes! The stores near me used to have a great selection but now it’s apple or orange. Honestly tastes similar to most of the name brand stuff.
My problem is more of a “you pretentious douche, who the hell would care to consume what you produce?”
I write like 2 sentences and then those thoughts start and it sucks all the motivation out of me because I just feel like a fool. Like I get people write books and people like to read them, but I can’t help but feel like an absolute toolbag for even trying to write.
If you keep talking, I can’t stop listening, but I can always stop reading. That’s why I sit in silence at work, but online, I have an opinion for a ton of stuff. Including on what you just prompted me to say.
I write for the pleasure of me. If I manage to make even a bit of sense while doing so, even better.
I think a lot of creative types don’t get over that, but I know some start by doing it for themselves and then it’s just a bonus if anyone else likes it.
Thats kept me from blogging really. It seems…conceited ?
But I’ve reframed it in my head and blog about things just so I remember them or post recipes so they are easier to find and pull up. My site is like my “scratch notes”. If someone else finds it helpful, cool. Its more for me to have a place where I can go look up things I did with my homelab or send a link to my wife so she can make the beef stew we like.
I know it’s way easier said than done. But as someone who has just finally after 30+ years started to shut those voices up by focusing on something I wanted, not what I thought someone else would enjoy. And it’s helped me keep those voices at bay. It’s hard not to care and not to want the thing you make to be successful and for other people to like it. I may still never publish something. But the time I spend thinking about that world and those stories is a happy and fun place to be, simply because I like it there and not because I think anyone else will. I hope that made any amount of sense.
Haven’t even bothered watching them. The original run is old af now and Futurama has become a meme to most people. Just let it die and make a new show.
Man this wound me up. It’s not season 11, it’s season 8.
That didn’t stop me downloading the wrong episode, time and time again. Same file, but it had completely the wrong name, and I need them all to say ELiTE or ETHEL consistently, otherwise it’s all just wrong.
4 original seasons, plus movies, plus 3 more seasons. Not sure how it ended up as 11, seems the 6th and 7th seasons are divided up into 2 parts each, maybe the movies are counted as 2 as well?
Yeah, I didn’t pay attention to those airing dates, but I see on IMDB they start season 4 on season 3’s Roswell That Ends Well and it’s a jumble compared to the production order. So 5 seasons out of the original 4, then the movies, then 2 seasons per season.
