  • It was probably still worth what you bought it for. Those things hold their value forever, despite bring notorious for being unreliable.

    I had a 93’ with absolutely no features others than 4WD. No cruise, AC, nothing. It was worth about the same as my 05’ accord with pretty much every feature.

    The clutch died three times in 30k miles on my Wrangler. The local shop, a Jeep dealer, and a Wrangler specialty shop couldn’t figure out why. I finally found the answer in a forum. Basically the brake lines shared fluid with the clutch and there was a small leak. The clutch always failed first so no one ever found the leak.

    Also, the Wrangler is the only vehicle I’ve ever spun out on the highway, and it happened more than once.


  • It’s got to end soon, or we’re well screwed.

    My insurance payment + my jobs contribution (can’t say whether or not they lie on the form about their share) is over a thousand per month. And I still have co-pays and shit that isn’t covered. I’ve had a couple of X-rays and and a sling this year. I’m probably out another $2k on top of my insurance. It would be much cheaper for me to pay out of pocket and save the difference for a rainy day.

    Fuck the entire insurance industry.






  • I hate the bloatware attached to Android phones, so I went with a pixel 8. Pretty good phone, but the camera was defective. They sent me a refurbished replacement. It died from water damage… from a wet hand. On a phone rated for 30 minutes below 5 feet of water, that was disappointing. The second replacement drops signals all the time. Spotify glitches 5+ times per song. Google won’t give me another replacement.

    Never trust anything refurbished.
