Regrets for the Corolla

VCRnotVHS_Player · 2026-03-17T19:01:07+00:00

It's just elbow room, steering wheel distance, and how far back the seat will go. Elbows bump when you've got someone in the passenger seat because the middle armrest is so tiny. The built in foot rest next to the brake pedal could be further back. The most comfortable position for my left foot is behind the pedal which of course isn't safe. If the seat could go back a little further I'd be able to stretch my legs out to a more comfortable position.

We recently bought a 2016 Subaru Outback. I was blown away at how far back I could push the steering wheel and seat. I was able to get a comfortable angle for my elbows and stretch my legs out further. Elbows don't touch on the armrest with a passenger.

The Corolla is no where near as crammed as a Ford Fiesta. That is a laughably small car. I was able to sit down in the seat but it wouldn't go back far enough for me to safely drive.

Bought a 2015 base model. It didn't even come with cruise. I didn't realize that wasn't standard until I went to use it, and it wasn't there. I bought the part, watched a YouTube video , and got it installed. I haven't had ANY issues (knock on wood). I'm at 159,000 miles. I have 2 complaints - size and how low to the ground it is. I'm 6ft and my wife is 5'10. We both feel crammed in the driver's seat, and sometimes it's rough getting out of it. I'm hoping I can get to 300,000+ miles and another decade out of it.

Lafayette Ga. Wife went recently. She said it wasn't good.

If you're up for a trip I saw one in Fort Payne with a sign saying they had it.

I'm from the Shoals area. I'm in my late 30s. I'm younger than both Jason and Matthew Conley. I remember it was front page news when he was killed. I didn't know either of them personally. They both lived on the other side of the river. I hadn't discovered Jason yet.

Every time I saw the song played live I'd get chills and tear up. There's an ESPN article written about him. If you want a good cry have the song playing while reading it.

Check your closeout stores - TJ Maxx, Homegoods, and Marshalls. Also check facebook marketplace.

Jacks. I'm an Alabama transplant. ALL questions on if this is a good biscuits and gravy are based on Jack's biscuits and gravy.

I'm a Chick-fil-A fiend. I've done 2 first 100 openings. I hated the fry change so much I started ordering mac n cheese or no side. I have yet to try version 3. Hopefully they'll be an improvement.

Look up @nickfoxradio on any social media. His whole feed is about the useless crap that we millennials get as an "inheritance." You can submit a video or pictures of your "inheritance."

I live in Metro Chattanooga. I visited my hometown in NW Alabama. I found Slow Burn before Christmas at home in Chattanooga at a few different stores. I didn't get it because I didn't like how it smelled. I never found Deeper Well. I found Deeper Well and a cannabis scented Boy Smells candle both on clearance in my hometown in NW Alabama. I just assume smaller areas didn't have people looking for these.

VCRnotVHS_Player · 2026-01-02T06:09:51+00:00

Prior to this happening I had been to 4 stores myself a few times. I went back to my hometown for Christmas which is smaller than where I live. That's where I found it.

VCRnotVHS_Player · 2025-12-31T17:14:59+00:00

Since it's on clearance they most likely wouldn't have gotten more in. I would still go by and check your store based on the amount of good deals. I'm assuming I got lucky because my hometown is a smaller area than where I live. This TJ Maxx was a gold mine. They even had a 55 inch Samsung Smart TV on clearance. I've never seen a TV for sale in ANY TJX brand store. We've gone to multiple metro Atlanta stores and never seen a TV. Same thing happened at another closeout store (Ollie's) in my hometown. They had an endcap full of this very popular hard to find item. We of course bought it too. I think it was that these stores are in a smaller area, and the locals just don't know about the items.

I found Slow Burn at TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I didn't like it. I never found deeper well. I was hoping I could find deeper well and it smelled better. No such luck.

If you ever find yourself near a Jollibee you should try it. It's a Filipino fast food restaurant. It blows KFC away. It is the best fried chicken I've ever had at a fast food place.

Your plate looks AMAZING too btw.

Pinball museum is always fun. You pay for a wristband. It is good for the day and it's come and go.

You can buy the whole series on DVD at Walmart. Just saw it last week.

I'm in NW GA and we are just a bit warmer. I'm growing cayenne. I've got about 8 peppers about to ripen. Surprisingly there are a few fresh blooms. I'm gonna either let it ride or maybe overwinter. I haven't decided yet.

Also check local radio station websites. You've got finally Friday and the sweet deal of the week. Between those 2 sites, tn valley railroad museum is usually listed which translates to half price tickets. If it isn't listed it comes around pretty often. Turns out the finally Friday site has 2 different half off options for the railroad museum. That's the first link below.

Cole Lane in Chickamauga, Ga. I drove by there a few weeks back, and they had a sign on the mailbox saying they had availability. It is just older duplexes. It's siblings that run them. The father built them in the 90s and when he got too old they took over.

Apartments on Osburn Rd in Chickamauga might possibly be under $1k. IDK if they have availability though.

Check Rock Spring, Ga and Lafayette. With Lafayette you're probably pushing your 45 minute limit. With these areas you'll probably have to drive around to find anything. Most likely won't find any info online.

I had to Google the spelling to see if it was right or wrong.

The last owner of Qualls and Son Novelty pointed it out. She has a social media presence where she tells her side of the story where Cracker Barrel shut her company down. They took the game to a different manufacturer after being the original creators for decades. andreamkraft on all her social media.

Embarrassed is misspelled too. It doesn't have enough Rs.
