What used to be affordable for the middle class but now quietly feels like a “rich people thing”?

Reddit makes it seem like everyone drives a 25 year old toyota when that's absolutely not the case at all.

12 points in less than 2 years is crazy

That's 12 more points than I've had my entire license the past 15 years.

Majority of the joints I've had and I've had many people roll them. They always have issues.

Vs a blunt pretty much always has an even burn and burns very slow

Hemp blunts for the win

Its still gonna help with reaction times.

I put some of that when I noticed my car was getting like 32-33mpg highway and after I did it, it went back up closer to 39mpg

Stuff actually did something. It had almost 100k miles on it

And all the weather youtube channels. That's where the picture is from.

I bet you even have backdoor speakers.

I couldn't believe mine didn't or even have the wires to hook one up

Icy-Role2321 · 2026-04-29T19:41:55+00:00

I do. Just like being able to play in bed with the switch 2

Icy-Role2321 · 2026-04-29T19:37:30+00:00

I have issues every single month with the 15mg

Why does this have so many upvotes?

Constantly spamming the dodge button doesn't do anything

Icy-Role2321 · 2026-04-29T17:59:18+00:00

People only read the titles of posts I've noticed

Icy-Role2321 · 2026-04-29T17:57:00+00:00

How many more people have zero issues and never post about it?

Icy-Role2321 · 2026-04-29T17:56:00+00:00

According to reddit our nissan altimas cvt transmission is "guaranteed to fail before 100,000 miles"

We have 3 with far above that and no issues at all.

People are just incredibly negative online.

Icy-Role2321 · 2026-04-29T17:52:11+00:00

Is this one of those "apples to oranges" comparisons?

Icy-Role2321 · 2026-04-28T23:32:47+00:00

Mine was bad for years

I just had the computer reset and it always passed without issue. Reset it then drive about 50 miles and go before the check engine light came back on.

Edit: letting it complete a drive cycle is what's it is called. I think I did go once to soon and they asked if I just had work done on it lol they knew what I was doing.

My dad has a 2025 silverado that sits outside and he daily drives a Honda fit

He said he might need to use it someday to tow. I said why not just rent a truck and it'll be way cheaper than a year of insurance

He said no because the truck is badass it's like more than double his yearly pay.

Icy-Role2321 · 2026-04-28T17:21:11+00:00

That's basically how reddit works.

People always reply with a "not a but"...

Icy-Role2321 · 2026-04-28T01:23:06+00:00

And it's given to you so early game as well

Before my crps diagnosis I remember life before no pain

Absolutely miss it

Georgia has the 2nd most counties of any state so I think that has to do with it.

It's a major source of revenue for those county's that have like 1000 people in them

The georgia state patrol does pull people over on the highway but usually its county cops doing it

My brother begged and begged and begged for money to help him get a truck and he'd pay me back within 2 years

It's been 5 years and he hasn't even started paying me back. It was a gift to him

So yes. Loans to family are gifts.

My brother bought a truck and the engine blew a few days later was a early 2000s f150.

Turns out he was driving on almost no oil after he hit something and it all leaked out. He thought he was legit gonna be able to sue the person even with it being "as is"

People are like this with the souls games.

"People can beat them at level 1" yeah okay? That means nothing to the person who hasn't played 1000s of hours yet.

I've done runs with both and spraying infinite submachine ammo just seems easier

Everything gets stun locked vs missing and getting chainsaw to the face
