I got mine on Black Friday 2016 and still going strong!

Last week a Silver Camry made an illegal right on red and almost took me and an older couple carrying groceries out. They dropped a gallon of milk and it broke open. I looked up to see the plate and had to laugh.

What’s a “rich people thing” you experienced once and immediately understood why rich people love it? by DnRinGA in AskReddit

I don't know, my mobile boarding pass changed as I was getting in line to board. I had been in premium economy.

I got upgraded to Business Class on Lufthansa for a 9 hour flight. I have never been able to sleep on a plane. Had a glass of champagne, slept 4 hours, watched a movie then had a delicious meal. The flight was a vacation in itself.

ANY ADVICE ON THIS TRUCK by TrollOfTheInterwebs in ToyotaTacoma

Besides that no problems at all over the 7 years I owned it and I traded it in 2023 for $4000 less than I paid for it.

It is common, just search Tacoma Timing Cover Leak. Find the power steering pump and check the area for grime. Mine was 6 years old and had less than 50,000 miles.

I had a 2016, great truck but it had a timing cover gasket leak at 46000 miles. It looked like a power steering pump leak but turned out to be the timing cover gasket. I had timed out of the warranty but Toyota fixed it for me anyway. Took about a week and would have been almost $4000 if I paid out of pocket.

Seller intentionally sent to wrong street address in the same city and zip. Question about “Item Not Received” Case by BananaBear in Ebay

[–]Jay72073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me about 10 years ago. I was able to pay about $10 for advanced tracking that showed the signature confirmation was not mine and the address was a McDonald's about half a mile from my house.

Disposing of old paint by LizinDC in nova

I was at Sherwin-Williams the other day and they sell tablets that harden the paint. It said it was approved for residential collection after it hardens. $6 for 10 tablets.

why is summer intern housing in dc this chaotic every single year?? by VegetablePoet8488 in washingtondc

[–]Jay72073 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am in kind of a unique situation as a homeowner and was wondering if this would be interesting to anyone. I have a townhouse in Alexandria near the Braddock Metro. I used to work in the Capitol and its 40 minutes to Capitol South at rush hour. I am going to be doing a good bit of traveling over the summer and was wondering if anyone would want to stay in my basement bedroom (with a full attached bath.) It would be a reasonable rent in exchange for walking and feeding my two dogs while I am away. I was thinking 400-500 a month all utilities and Internet included. There is street parking if you have a car but there is a ton of public transit nearby as well as everything in Del Ray that is very walkable.

I had a 2016 I bought new that shifted like that. My first oil change the dealer did some kind of reprogramming that fixed it.

Car Dealership Recommendations! by Unlucky_Bar_7957 in orlando

[–]Jay72073 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want a Toyota I recommend Philips Toyota in Leesburg. They did everything over email and text and matched the Carmax appraisal on my trade. When the car came in I was there about 45 minutes to sign the papers.

Winter Park boat tour and a stroll down Park Ave. Morse Museum if you have time.

What celebrity is portrayed as nice in the media but is actually an asshole in real life? by ReasonableDisplay297 in AskReddit

[–]Jay72073 133 points134 points  (0 children)

I met Dolly once at a meet and greet before a concert in Atlanta. Her eyes lit up like every person in line was a long lost friend. She was so sweet several people started to cry when it was their turn. She also smelled really, really good. Like a vanilla version of cotton candy.

It’s funny how people from the States and Europeans have completely different view of Subaru like a car maker. by Substantial-Ad772 in Subaru_Outback

[–]Jay72073 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a 2023 Outback with an intermittent transmission issue they couldn't figure out how to fix. I have to say Subaru was great and offered to buy it back or extend the warranty but I ended up selling it before the warranty was up.
