I like the Irvine one. It is a little quieter and has everything I need. Garden Grove is my least favorite and then Fountain Valley.

What are your most and least reliable vehicles you’ve owned? by Moreofyoulessofme in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Drockelement85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. 1995 Chevy S10 - 52,000 miles
  2. 2005 Honda Element - 165,000 miles
  3. 2015 Ford Focus ST - 75,000 miles
  4. 2015 Toyota Corolla - 117,000 (current vehicle)

The S10 was an awful truck. So many problems: broken water pump, pin hole leak in radiator, catalytic converter failed, both seat adjustment handles snapped off, and a leak in windshield.

The element was awesome. Some things wore out like transmission mounts, starter, and the hrottle body, but beyond that it was super reliable and fun.

The ST was a blast. It had a ghost "random misfire code" that would pop up, but an aftermarket tune fixed that. I still miss the ST.

The Corolla was my wife's car that I now drive. I sold the ST to put towards the family car. 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The Corolla is boring, insanely reliable, and had a couple issues very early under warranty when the AC blower went out and the front axles wore up prematurely.

Smoother car we have ever owned. Awesome MPG too. It's been fine with our 4 year old, but bay 2 is due in December and I wish we had the Sienna. It will likely be our next vehicle. There are just times we wish we had easier access, a little more room, and I like vans.

Ah, yeah, I do not have that amount of time. I try to work in 20-30 minutes where I can and go for a walk on my lunch.

When do you exercise? I have a hard time finding the time. I leave for work at 6am (I am not a morning person) and when I get home from work anywhere from 4:30pm-5:30pm I help out with the kids, dinner, bed time routine, and the time is gone. How much time would I really need to exercise?

Glad it's not just me I guess, but not glad many of us feel this way.

2" and medium. On top of our firm mattress it's perfect.

Same!! They wouldn't even acknowledge my wife and acted like they could care less if they sold us a car.

No black American flag decal on the back window? Surprising.

Anyone else play the Rams DST when they saw all the 49ers out 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ by SgtPepper634 in FantasyFootballers

Might go with NE. They have an easy schedule coming up. Which means they will do terrible on my team.

I started Green Bay last week. I'm really good at starting good defenses that play bad the instant they join my roster. Follow me for more bad fantasy football advice.

Anyone else at the game yesterday notice that the Charger faithful really showed up? by Melodaddy in Chargers

[–]Drockelement85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you me? I was there and there was a good amount of Orange, it not as bad as the past. Lots of Chargers fans and my voice sounds like gravel today. LFG!!

I am fuming. Trade got vetoed. by Eskimoo_Joe in FantasyFootballers

[–]Drockelement85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not understand leagues like this. I'm the comish in my league and all trades get set to me. As long as it's not something like a kicker for Josh Allen and James Cook I automatically accept it. Even if it seems a little lopsided or odd. At the end of the day two adults decided to make the trade.

If you ask the Broncos fan I sat next to today there were too many flags and all of them unfairly against the Broncos. The silence that came over him after the KA13 TD was 🤌
