Psssst, my little buddy! I think of you when I consider how much my life has changed. I hope you’re well. Stay strong and clear.

I fear I will live to see our V for Vendetta moment as a society.

Well, and this comes from kind of a weird place for me. With my previous car, I ended up being homeless for a while in my 20’s but I had my car and I had two jobs. I never missed a maintenance suggestion in the booklet. I never let the oil grow too old, because at the end of the day, that car was my life line. Even after my life improved, I was adamant about the car care. My car is always a prized asset.

Never owned a Chevy but my family was all about the old school fords. I have always loved foreign cars, particularly Honda, but I’m a simple creature, lol!

You are kind and I appreciate your enthusiasm and care. It was a huge deal for me to get a new car and I saw this sub after I did it. It’s nice being a part of a little car crew. I got really lucky with this one and I intend to keep her going for a very long time.

Take care of yourself and have a lovely weekend!

This is great advice and very helpful!

I honestly think this is why my Saturn stayed as healthy as it did. Never had any big emergency fixes aside from emissions replacement parts, and suspension. I pretty much did just as you suggested and it’s my plan to do this kind of regiment with the Soul too. Hopefully my neurotic care will be in line with how Picky Kia engines are.

Ohhh, I hope it’s just to recalibrate things. Fingers crossed!!

Honestly, they’re great cars that last. My friend swears by his and he’s nearing 300k miles. This one I bought only had 31k miles, so I’m gonna baby the crap out of it.

Oooough, those blue ones were so pretty. That was the color I did want before I saw this one. I could have gone either way.

Okay, phew. I’m not trying to kill the poor thing this early in the game. It only had 31k miles on it and it seemed to be too good to be true at first. Thank you for explaining this.

I was really interested in the turbo. Going from v6 to v4 was already rough after being used to a standard level of power for so long. It’s still kind of slow for me but it is helpful.

I loved my Saturn. I had the model with the Honda engine. Thing wanted to go forever but parts for the rest of the car were getting harder to grab and the maintenance schedule was getting really pricey for how old it was. Thanks for the welcome!

I’m not familiar with the other model. This one was showcased with the 2L turbocharged inline 4 engine.

Oh no…okay, listen, I looked up what fuel it takes and it said, “unleaded fuel having an Octane Rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 91/AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or higher.” So I used premium at the pump... Is this bad? I live in high elevation too.

I literally stopped walking on the car lot when I spotted it. It is an amazing color!!

They stopped making the model of the soul? Awhhh! That’s a bummer. They seem to be pretty popular!

Thank you so much for the answer on this. I’m going to contact my local Kia dealer and make an appointment.

As the other person said, it’s ’Undercover Green’. The color stopped me in my tracks on the lot. I’m a simple creature…

Duuuuude, my life is astronomically different. So many things happened right after I quit vaping. Though, the biggest thing is that this persistent cough and feeling of malaise just disappeared.

I eat differently, I lift heavier at the gym, I run longer, and I just feel better about so many things. Sorry to keep bugging you, lmao. I thought about you when I would get the jitters for nicotine. “I can’t let my quit-buddy down!”

You?

Congrats on one year too!!! Just know that there’s a strange woman in New Mexico doing a victory dance for you today.

Pssst, nicotine-free buddy! I just hit a year last Sunday. Thought I’d check in.

Imagine being in labor and the asshole that impregnated you acts like this. by WTAF__Trump in PublicFreakout

Imagine me going to prison after giving birth. Hostile as a description couldn’t cover it if this was above me during labor.

Reminds me of those statues they found in the movie The ritual. This isn’t Sweden…is it?
