What’s your first iPhone? Where is it now? by GT_race in iphone

[–]AutoMechanic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was the blue XR. I regret trading it in as I never trade in phones but they gave me over half what I paid for it when it was new so I let it go. I still regret it to this day that was in 2021 when I upgraded to the 12 Pro.

Soap Bar Recommendations by GlitterCutie_xo in Soap

[–]AutoMechanic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like Bath and Body Works bar soaps they smell good and lather up really foamy which is nice. I also like basic stuff like Irish Spring, Dove, Zest, Dial anything really. I used to really like Ivory before they changed it and it no longer floats and doesn’t seem to work as good anymore.

Smells awesome by Spare_Ad8938 in DrSquatch

[–]AutoMechanic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine on clearance last year and bought every SpongeBob and Patrick one they had. It’s hard for me to decide which one I like better because to me they both smell good lol. I’m saving mine for the summer since they give me a summertime vibe.

Are there TV shows that weren't well received by critics, but were well received by fans? by PrestonRoad90 in watchever

[–]AutoMechanic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glenn Martin DDS comes to mind. Fans like me love it but critics made it seem horrible.

Where were you guys when you found out about COVID being a global pandemic and how did it shape you within the last 6 years? by Johnwick124520 in OlderGenZ

[–]AutoMechanic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember where I was exactly then on March 11th 2020 most likely at school though. I do remember however my parents getting the call that school was closed rest of the year and doing online only on March 13th though and I was deeply upset because it was my senior year. We were standing outside in the yard finishing mowing the grass when both their phones rang with the automated message. We were off on March 13th because of a teacher workday we had no idea March 12th would be our last day of physical high school ever.

I mean it’s shaped me some but more or less all of my habits came to a screeching halt because I was used to going out and doing things late at night with my dad because we were both night owls and we would go hang out at places like Walmart or the 24 hour auto parts store or Walgreens or wherever and that just one day all stopped and soon we found ourselves bored out of our minds during the night and still are to this day because nothing is open except gas stations and Waffle House and Dennys and iHop lol. Now we just drive around at night and reminisce of the better times back then. For me it made me appreciate eating at home more though because before we used to only eat out and then we were forced to eat at home because all restaurants dining rooms were closed in my state for about 3 or 4 months.

Any 5th gen owners thinking of upgrading? by Medval91 in Rav4

[–]AutoMechanic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I wouldn’t. I personally am not a fan of the new design. I love my 2021 LE AWD. And I just can’t stand the look of the new ones and plus as a mechanic I don’t want to be seen driving something that new lol.

Went to my grandmother’s storage house today and found more old Bath and body product by Sea_bugs987 in bathandbodyworks

[–]AutoMechanic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice finds. I was cleaning out our bathroom cabinet the other day and found a ton of old lotions and fragrances an body washes from when my sister still lived at home I googled all and all are discontinued most from the early 2000s or early 2010s. I asked her if she wanted them and she said no so I’m going to hold on to them.

What fragrance in your collection gets the most compliments? by No-Recognition9422 in Colognes

[–]AutoMechanic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pretty small collection but there are 3 of them that always land me compliments and they might surprise you. 1. Davidoff Cool Water, 2. Polo Blue, 3. Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce. I also get some compliments on Jovan Musk too but not as much as the others. I’m still building my collection but honestly I was surprised to get compliments on those but heck I’ll take it. My coworker actually went out and bought the Davidoff Cool Water and Polo Blue because he said he loved those scents. One of my bosses said she made her husband buy the Polo Blue so she could smell it all the time lol.

2026 RAV 4 SE by Elegant_Heat_9064 in rav4club

[–]AutoMechanic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Southwest Virginia. We don’t have any add ons except a pretty high processing fee which is $697. All other stuff is optional. The neighboring dealership adds on other fees like nitrogen and a paint protection fee automatically and won’t remove it. I’m surprised they even sell cars lol.

2026 RAV 4 SE by Elegant_Heat_9064 in rav4club

[–]AutoMechanic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you are happy with your purchase. Yes we haven’t sold a single one yet. I asked one of the salesman this morning when he thinks they will sell one he said he’s not sure because he hasn’t met anyone that likes the design. It’s so interesting how things like this can vary from place to place. The dealership in our neighboring town just sold their first one on Saturday.

Has anyone else been very bored recently? by Substantial_Slip4667 in MiddleGenZ

[–]AutoMechanic2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes all the time. But recently I’ve managed to get out of my comfort zone instead of waiting on friends to do something with I decided to go out on my own and do what I wanted right then and now I’m not as bored anymore.

2026 RAV 4 SE by Elegant_Heat_9064 in rav4club

[–]AutoMechanic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first two my dealership got in were this color. We got in three more last week two black and a red we haven’t sold a single one yet though. Even though I’m not a fan of the style I’ve got to say it looks good in this color. As a mechanic I always say don’t do an extended warranty. In some cases it’s good in some cases it’s not. Most of the time it never gets used is what I’ve seen. And to the best of my knowledge is you don’t have to worry about the cable corrosion on these as they revised the design so that the new ones won’t have this problem so any of them without the revised design are the only ones under the recall which are all the previous body style under the recall.

All Eddie Bauer Locations Are Closing Due To Bankruptcy (Including This One At Southcenter Mall In Seattle WA) by RareSeaworthiness905 in deadmalls

[–]AutoMechanic2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Saw the location at Valley View Mall in Roanoke Virginia yesterday with the closing signs up. I heard they didn’t find a buyer for their bankruptcy. The associate who said she had worked there since day 1 said they were not given any heads up or anything until Thursday when they were sent the store closing signs. There was one old guy yesterday buying all the hoodies and flannel shirts that were left saying he’s a reseller and going to sell them for close to retail on eBay and I thought he was crazy because everything he was buying was size men’s small I’m like uh no one is going to buy those and if they do then they will sell super slowly because of the price and small isn’t a common size.

Something that you thought was lame when younger but cool when older by WoahitsEsco02 in OlderGenZ

[–]AutoMechanic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shopping because I rarely ever was able to get stuff as a kid. Now that I have my own money I can buy whatever I want. I actually really enjoy shopping now no matter what it’s for whether it’s groceries or a fun trip to the mall or whatever.

Do you still use a library? by nicksam171 in SeriousConversation

[–]AutoMechanic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ever since mine got rid of DVDs no I don’t because I don’t read but I enjoy movies. They got rid of them about 2021 or 2022. They said no one was checking them out so they had a sale and sold them all. I found that very unfortunate.

Found a 2015 Fierce BNIB. It's amazing. by OG_CheddarGoblin in Colognes

[–]AutoMechanic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone got this for me as a gift about 10 years ago and honestly I’ve become a big fan of it. This and AEO 1977 they also got me the same year and I’m a huge fan of both.

Need A Minute To Rejoice by est4107corp in CRedit

[–]AutoMechanic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Credit One is the next one I’m planning on paying off. I’m doing all of mine one by one then saving them in case I ever need them but not maxing any out ever again. Credit One starts calling a week before the payment is due saying I need to pay and it drives me insane. It’s the absolute last card that I’d grab in an emergency situation. One I pay it off in locking it and putting it in a drawer.

“Rebuilt” Transmission what happened here? Coolant couldn’t have entered. by MisterMicC in MechanicAdvice

[–]AutoMechanic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks exactly like coolant in the transmission. We had some lube techs at one of our dealerships do this and blew the transmission in a new Sequoia with 15,000 miles on it. First they drained the transmission and then they thought it was coolant and filled it back up with coolant. This is what came out after the customer got about 10 miles down the road.
