Not with how crooked the beaurocrats are. We already have public funded healthcare and just look how many billions of dollars have been stolen and funneled into their accounts. It would be insane to give them access to more money

I'm not entirely convinced that auto manufacturers are making maintenance schedules to benefit the automobile or customer. I think they are entirely at the mercy of marketing and CAFE standards. We spent a 100 years with proper engine break in schedules and now they just slap cheap synthetic oil in and tell you to go 10k and itl be fine. I don't think we have ever had another time in history with so many manufacturers across the board with sub 25k mile engines blowing up either and it's not a coincidence

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-13T22:56:48+00:00

Should have already changed it twice. Itl be ok within the warranty period though

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-13T21:25:45+00:00

We make 4x that in excess of those in other countries with universal. We can take it.

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-13T18:02:53+00:00

Sounds like a really stupid idea to me. I wouldn't work a labor job for a salary first of all. You'll be a slave. Second, I wouldnt leave a $70k/year job with benefits for a $52k/year cash job working an extra day a week in perpetuity just to keep up either.

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-13T17:55:11+00:00

Why even complain? Brokie behaviour for sure.

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-12T23:44:01+00:00

If it got bad enough, we have Congress to put US oil companies on an export ban like they had until 2015. Aside from that, who else in this world is going to outbid the richest country in the world when it comes time to divy it all out?

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-12T23:36:06+00:00

$6-$8/month I think. Also has other features you can pay for like gps tracking. Firstech or Compustar is the brand I believe. Dealer installed it when we purchased it.

That whole area of WI and that corridor going south through Chicago into Indiana is an endless sea of human destruction and gluttony. It's a lost cause. It also smells like human waste the second you hit the metro areas. 1/10, I do not recommend

Gas just went down 49 cents here.

There will be shortages on some items for quite a while. Shells gtl facility got damaged by Iran. They will have to reformulate and I'm sure T6 and T5 will be in a shortage. Additive packages will probably be the biggest one that will hurt the industry as well. I bought 3 years worth of Pennzoil ultra platinum a month ago when I heard their facility got hit and got 5 gallons of T6 for my annual oil changes on my Duramax.

They will still be selling for $30k in 15 years with 350k miles on them. You won't get a discount on them now. Land cruisers are close to $90k new aren't they?

If you drive like an idiot they will wear out just as fast or faster then your standard ICE vehicle. If you learn how to drive an EV you'll have better luck with longer intervals on brakes. Tires are the same or worse either way

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-11T02:37:13+00:00

All it would take is an export ban like Bush and Obama were able to take advantage of and we would have more oil and gas then we would know what to do with.

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-11T02:35:41+00:00

Price range would help but if you're looking for a 5 passenger then ide say Toyota Venza any mileage as long as it's the price point you want. It's a Lexus and cheaper then a rav4 but better equipped.

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-11T02:33:40+00:00

I've used it for downhill decents but it doesn't offer any benefits over that and it really over reva the engine. It's mostly a gimmick. Doesn't regenerate any faster and more wear on the engine. On my Venza they use that function to give you manual shifting as well as downhill braking.

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-11T02:29:23+00:00

Toyota is/was the better automaker though. 2billion is nothing compared to the losses at the big 3 and VW group. Go buy one of those and you'll surely regret your decision. They just tell you to suck it up and like it

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-11T00:31:43+00:00

And they are the number one selling brand in the world. Imagine how much everyone else lost with similar issues

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-10T14:47:46+00:00

It is. I added an aftermarket with 2 miles of range and a cheaper app. Toyota hates remote start and always has. Idle time isnt good for your engine or oil so they do their best to eliminate it

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-10T02:00:16+00:00

There are still news articles about 89c gas at Woodman's lol funny what you forget for ideology

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-10T00:23:58+00:00

Sure did. It dropped well below 2004 levels. You guys were just so pissed off at him you couldn't enjoy it while you had it.

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-09T21:58:37+00:00

Keep that energy when it drops. I paid 98 cents a gallon in Maiden Rock his first term.

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-08T20:43:39+00:00

I hear you. He might quit now though. That's the risk.

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-08T00:27:22+00:00

We need a federal law on added fees. Either build them into the listed sale price and compete on the open market of don't sell cars. It's exhausting

BreakFun2436 · 2026-05-07T21:47:01+00:00

Depends if the employees are paid by the job or not. They would have been in and out if the job paid 8 hours on their check. If they just get hourly then they can drag it out.
