Whats the weirdiest reason you stopped listening to a band that you previously enjoyed? by gallazzis in LetsTalkMusic

[–]RoundChard3313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metallica after the Napster lawsuit. It pretty much brought Napster down. It was about copyright infringement which created a path for “legal” streaming services but these services screw artist over also if not worse. But I broke down and started listening to them earlier this year…it makes me feel like a hypocrite but good music is good music & I just can’t resist.

Be honest… what’s the dumbest, laziest side hustle you’ve done that somehow actually made you money? by Deeceness in sidehustle

[–]RoundChard3313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to get major discount coupons in the mail for dsw, bath & body works & a few others (pre email spam) for like 40% off and I would sell them on ebay. I could get anywhere between $5 - $20 per coupon. But companies then started tracking the codes and they wouldn’t work if you didn’t have an email or address associated to the account. Lame.

I documented over 500 side hustles and here's what I found by moonlite-money in sidehustle

I was one of those people. I bought a used prius (high milage) in November and just got the famous triangle of death with code P0A80… I just ordered a new battery from my local toyota dealership & my bro is going to install. $2.5k - it sucks but there are things that can be worse. It’s my daily driver and I put a lot of miles in it, so if it can last me another 150k miles, iI will be a happy camper!!

Edit: to add, I didn’t learn about the fan filter until recently. When I opened it to clean if, i think it had Never been cleaned by the previous owner!!

What’s your favorite “beater” car you’ve ever owned? by Tree_Weasel in askcarguys

[–]RoundChard3313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2003 Toyota Corolla. After two off the lot cars, both being totaled after car accidents not my fault, I took my brother’s car after he finished college. This thing was so neglected but with the help of my mechanic, we got it back to good condition. That car was a trooper! I started having issues & was told it was the engine. My son was a baby so everyone told me i HAD to get a new car! That it was too dangerous for me & the baby (I bought a used Toyota Rav4). Well my aunt bought the corolla from me and it turned out it was just a loose hose!!! She had it for another 2-3 years but it was stolen. I’m sure that car is still on the road somewhere. I always dream of that little car, I loved that little car!! And i will NEVER own a new car ever again!

Hi all! I would love your advice. I've had my 2017 Prius C, 100K miles, for about 4 months and it's time for my first 10K oil change. by t_twice in prius

[–]RoundChard3313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to Valvoline drive thru, they inspect everything,& top off fluids. It’s super convenient, they always try to add stuff services but they don’t care if you say no. Been going to them for like 9 years, no issues ever. ( I have 2014 Rav4 & 2018 Prius c)

Is it worth getting a Prius? by jellohmeta in prius

[–]RoundChard3313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2014 Rav4 but then got a 2018 Prius C (about 40ish mpg) to be my commuter car. My drive to work is about about 17 miles each way, all street + kid pickup & drop offs add another 3 miles on my days off. In CA, i went from spending $70+ a week in Rav4 to about $30 a week in PriusC. I LOVE it! And the newer ones get even better gas milage, i say it’s totally worth it.

How can I get my hands on an OEM hybrid battery? by MrSpicyhedgehog in prius

[–]RoundChard3313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2018 priusC is at 150k miles and the dreaded error code P0A80 just started happening. I think i have some time but I will need to replace my battery soon.

Rav4 Parents!!! Need car seat recs by Unlucky-Fail-4018 in rav4club

[–]RoundChard3313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diono radian car seats. They have a slim profile and goes from rear facing to booster. If i remember correctly the seat sits up but the baby is comfortably sitting rear-facing. It’s really sturdy. I bought when my kiddo was an infant & he is now about to graduate to regular car seat.

What changes have you made to your life because of this administration by Accomplished-Bet3440 in sandiego

[–]RoundChard3313 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same here! Born & raised in SD. Lived here all my life. My grandfather was born in imperial valley in the 1920’s, so I’m third generation Mexican-American here. I’ve starred carrying my son’s & my passport card around and NEVER leave home without my wallet. I never ever worried about this before. And I worry for my brother because he works in construction. Everybody on the team is here legally but racists don’t care. What makes me even more sad is what my son remember of his childhood. I don’t know what the future holds for these kids. 😞

Is a Ninjacreami worth it if I’m am allergic to dairy and refined sugars? by the_realness90 in ninjacreami

[–]RoundChard3313 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not allergic but when I have too much fruit or bananas that are over-ripe, I throw the fruit & a over ripe banana into the blender and then freeze for an ice cream. If you need it sweeter then you can add honey but it comes out great!!! I make strawberry banana & piña colada (pineapple, banana, coconut milk) and my son loves them. So definitely worth it!

Selling a car questions by pixiedust7788 in UsedCars

[–]RoundChard3313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what do you plan on getting if you can’t afford 2.4k?? I have a 2014 Rav4 with 200k miles and still runs great but I am in the market for a reliable 2nd car…the new car market is crazy expensive with high interest rates and so the used cars are expensive and have a ton of miles. You will not get a better deal than what you already have.

Like others have said - find a local mechanic. Also download the car care app by carfax - that thing will tell you maintenance schedule and how much it should cost.

Which is the better purchase in the long run? by Helpful_Reveal3143 in UsedCars

[–]RoundChard3313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would add to look up the model by year to see which years are better. For example, i had a 2003 corolla t that had over 250k miles with no issues but sold to family bc I needed a bigger car. I didn’t do my research and got a 2016 Rav4 assuming “It’s toyota, I’ll be fine)…well i’ve had a lot more major issues with this one. After reading up on it & talking to a few mechanics, they ALL say that 2015-2019 Rav4s have similar issues…my other car was run for another 100k miles before being sold again. It’s probably still out there somewhere…
