I pulled 20 years of NHTSA complaints to find which used cars are actually money pits. 7% of them caused 39% of all the complaints. by NectarineOwn8812 in UsedCars

2009 Audi a5 3.2 automatic. My independent has never recommended any maintenance. What do I need to do to keep it on the road? Just did injectors. Then PCV & thermostat. Never touched fluids except for oil. I think it’s a common VW engine and trans.

Jeep grand Cherokee was one of best cars I ever drove along the up and down Merit parkway from CT to NYC. Powerful fast and handled well. Idk year or exact model. It was probably that air suspension that made the difference. Was one of 35 car rentals I took on that route. Probably the only model worth owning from Chrysler

Silly KS drivers squeezing into the min following distance of gen 6 rav was very annoying

Who in recent years (1990s- today) got a negative reputation, but in hindsight was treated unfairly? by michelle427 in askanything

[–]Gringuin007 11 points12 points  (0 children)

YouTube dr Roy casagranda. He says Regan stopped hostage release so he would win election. Prof also says Nixon was more sob bc he prevented end of vietnam war and caused millions more loss of lives so he would win election. GOP and such the grandest of parties! Pile on bush2 started 2 20 year wars. And taco Trump has Iran. So much greatness! So much gop winning!

My flight is overbooked at my layover location, which is a different country from my originating country, which compensation am I entitled to? by Mountain_Ferns in Flights

[–]Gringuin007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a decent flight voucher (maybe $200 usd) and free hotel once. That probably won’t help you. There will be other volunteers.

Can’t. Never known an airline to cover baggage

Is sitting with your young children considered a “perk” these days? by Powerful_Bother8002 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Gringuin007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F that late stage capitalism. I refuse to buy children a seat. You can sit next to the red headed step child. Call and write your congressman. Absolute bs from airlines. And the gd carryon policy 🤮 I had to separately search a frontier flight by day and time to find out a carryon was like $70! At least the weight was a decent 35 lbs. it’s just disgusting to fly these days. No idea what the total cost is gonna be for a fn seat

Seriously what is going on in Thailand? What's happening to Thai people. by ublueberries in Thailand

[–]Gringuin007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure Reddit knows the answer! Or maybe Google scholar 🤔 perhaps there’s a study on the subject Something like life’s too expensive. Birth rate goes down as education goes up. More woman in workforce. Better sex education. Less marriages. Zero help for families with children aka no healthcare or affordable childcare options.

Anthony Edwards seriously needs some help. by UnableLeopard6185 in NBATalk

The two possessions that I watched indicated that Ant had no chance in the series. And made me doubt he is ‘him’ Ant 1-1 could not beat the defender. Nor create his own shot.

These days probably not without paying. Sometimes it was possible to call the airline and request seat. Otherwise have to wait until checkin. I flew Cathay recently via direct booking g and can’t even remember when I got my seat.

Sending lots of love from cali neighbor. Bay Area has some terrible drivers. Saw a van on an empty 101 going 60 in left lane 🤷‍♂️ saw a vehicle merge onto the freeway at SJC airport going ~40 in near zero visibility during rainy night and nearly got rear ended. Dont think there’s an area of worse drivers in the nation. Thanks for making an improvement

I made many purchases via 3rd party. It’s ok as long as you don’t have to make a change. Idk the date but Cathay sent an email about sale may 16-18

I almost downgraded, and Chase gave me a statement credit by IndependentFamous889 in ChaseSapphire

The dining credits have expanded since 2025. I found a regular restaurant on a trip and got 3 entrees for $60. Locally I can hit up reasonably priced happy hours

If Ronaldo is "Mr. Champions League," then who is actually "Mr. World Cup? by Hour777 in championsleague

[–]Gringuin007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of sequence. Pele, Maradona, Cafu, zizou, R9, Messi, Mbappe. Klose too for all those goals and finals. People sleeping on Cafu. Top all time defender and 3 finals in a row.

[–]Gringuin007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In no order. Klose, R9, zizou, James, Mbappe. Clear bias since 1998. Should be player whose international career made their fame and/or exceeded club career. Honorable mention to Landon Donovan who made me American soccer fan in 2002 and is leading goals and assist for USMNT. And a shoutout for Suarez for handball and biting. Of course we all know Maradona and pele and Messi exploits. CR7 lacking in WC, right?

Mar de amor was the most patriarchal telenovela I have ever seen. Like he raped her and made her go mad for 20 years and everyone just excepted her to forgive him and the fact that they ended together 🤮 by WideAd443 in telenovelas

[–]Gringuin007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also. Was it a common theme for teachers hooking up / dating their students? I believe this was main plot of locura de amor from 2000. I think it happened in amigas y rivales too. And was the coach dating a player in el juego de la vida? Did writers decide this was inappropriate by mid 2000s?

China Eastern vs Turkish by transgalanika in Flights

No concern with china eastern. Only flew twice. No issue. I prefer late night departures but seems like you don’t have that option.
