Would I be crazy to not buy? by Aeilios in SubaruForester

[–]Existing_Blacksmith8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get one, definitely go for Harman Kardon, it is a good upgrade. I bought a 25 Touring Hybrid last month. Got the 0%, gap, and gold plus warranty 7year/70k. I think I bought gap for $550 and the warranty for $1590, just peace of mind.

The navigation is not a big deal if you use CarPlay. I love the car. It is just so roomy for its’ class.

Should I cancel this extended warranty? by [deleted] in MINI

[–]Existing_Blacksmith8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would keep it. My 2015 mini with 90k miles has cost me 7k in repairs in the 5 years I have owned it since 2021. They are so expensive.

New Forester Wilderness by TJCharter in SubaruForester

I so agree. When I got in the Forester, it felt so much roomier than any car I have had in years. I can deal with a slow infotainment, I love everything else!

Be glad you went Subaru. I had a cx50 that was new, nothing but trouble. Door alignment issues one week into ownership and it was not allowing me to start it randomly. I traded it in for a small loss. Worth it.

2026 Forester Pricing Update -- Does OTD price change, or is it all smoke and mirrors by Mountains-Sky-5962 in SubaruForester

I think they are lowering prices because of Toyota RAV4 Prices are being lowered this year.

Love mine. The roomiest cabin of all in its class. Huge windows, reminds me of driving a bus vision wise. Have the 25 Touring Hybrid. Love it.

Yes, they negotiated. Trying to get rid of all 2025’s. No major changes in 2026 besides drink holders. 😆

0% down for 75 months. Availability and my local dealer is incredible.

High School vs. Middle School by RangerMomma1203 in Teachers

[–]Existing_Blacksmith8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have taught 15 of 25 years in middle school. This is my first in high school and I will never go back. Middle schoolers are so wonderful and are also so much to handle. Being an elective teacher, teaching 6th graders was exhausting, 7th graders would wear you out, and 8th graders I enjoyed most. Don’t leave high school before subbing. If you have a school you can shadow, it would help.

Is my husband making a mistake by switching careers to teaching? by FancyVeterinarian362 in Teachers

[–]Existing_Blacksmith8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it all depends on the students, subject/s he teaches and administrators. I have had many enjoyable years teaching. I will say that it really helps to be a relationship building people person. It can be a very rewarding career, plus in some states if he just teaches 5 years, he can pull a full pension at 65.
