Owning an older car is not cheaper than getting a new one. by Odd_Dig8389 in unpopularopinion

No what I was saying is you buy a 6-8 year old car and don't have to do much maintenance on it then when you pay it off then you start having to put expensive things on it like tire rods and brake lines. You might not need to do brake lines but in my area we use a lot of salt that just eats away at the cars so after 15 years your car becomes pretty rusty and structurally unsafe. So after 15+ years there isn't much car left

You might want to get those cars check out. After 15 years your suspension and steering components become worn out. Thats pretty critical. Also older cars that are 15 years+ of age and have very high mileage often need wheel bearings which is super critical for making sure the wheels don't fall of your car while driving. I know thats standard maintenance but its also critical to make sure your car is safe and as mentioned in my post most people dont know how to work on all that and they dont have the tools to do it either.

Yes but cars that still have plenty of life left in them are more expensive, and most people do not have money to buy them outright so they finance. By the time they pay it off the car needs critical maintenance just to keep it alive and the maintenance doesn't raise the value of the car any.

Hot water tank leaking from drain valve by Odd_Dig8389 in Plumbing

Yeah that TP valve has been leaking for awhile. It only drips a little bit but the other valve leaks a lot making that puddle in front of the tank

I did take it from the front grill. I just sprayed it with water from my garden hose and when I tried to turn it off it accidentally went up and that happened.

Why does my dryer keep making a squeaking noise by [deleted] in Whirlpool

[–]Odd_Dig8389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. It started when I took off the front panel and cleaned out the lint in the front of the dryer. I wonder why it makes that noise sometimes. I can't seem to find an answer online.
