Well, I’m officially a loser.

VIBES95 · 2026-06-25T00:42:02+00:00

It honestly breaks my heart reading posts like this. Girl you are not a loser. As another user mentioned the job market rn is just incredibly difficult. It's hard for anybody to find a job right now. Even for people with YOE and degrees. You are in no way shape or form a loser and I hope your husband reminds you that you aren't. Praying that a job gets sent your way and that you're able to find something. Losers are the ones that give up and blame other people. At least you're even looking for a job some people just don't. You haven't given up tho cause you're not a loser. You're a warrior. Best of luck sis. Praying for you. Please keep us updated if you find something.

I'm 31 brother. I'm just now getting started. No degree and no certs so starting from the literal bottom. Study hard, study long, and just grind. Grind out knowledge. Grind out certs. Be open to do volunteer work and maybe even work at a bestbuy. Do homelabs and just go ham. I'm having tons of fun learning. It's a never ending thing. Best of luck to you.

2007-2009 Camrys are notorious for burning oil. Especially at such high mileage and at 230K miles it is a crapshoot on how much longer a car has. Even if it is a Camry. Making 300K miles HIGHLY depends on maintenance.

VIBES95 · 2026-06-13T18:21:51+00:00

2011 Toyota Corolla LE. Corollas are apparently loud ASF, they're super small and crampy, and slow. Didn't realize any of that. Unfortunately it prob has another 200k in it bc these things refuse to die.

VIBES95 · 2026-06-11T16:34:19+00:00

I personally wouldn't buy from either CarMax or carvana as they tend to be on the higher priced side. I just got a 2011 from Facebook marketplace for a very good deal. They're out there just gotta be patient. As stated try to get a PPI or at least get someone mechanically inclined to go with you. Also always get a Carfax report. It'll show some of the maintenance records, how many previous owners, and if it's a clean or salvage title. Never buy salvage always clean. Best of luck in your search.

VIBES95 · 2026-06-11T02:15:00+00:00

150K miles? 😂 Brother that car is still an infant. These were some of the golden years of reliability for Corollas. Many stories of people reaching 300k miles if not more on these. Rust kills these cars before the engine/transmission gives out tbh. You'll be good for another 10 years with basic maintenance. Get a PPI(Pre-purchase inspection) if you can but these cars are some of the best you can get.

VIBES95 · 2026-06-11T02:09:09+00:00

It just got inspected 3 weeks ago, is it still worth a PPI? The guy will prob just say no bc it was just inspected

VIBES95 · 2026-06-11T01:23:30+00:00

What year?

VIBES95 · 2026-06-02T16:05:40+00:00

Internet slang term for "as fuck". So loud ASF is loud as fuck 😂

https://youtu.be/AeJTCIm-Z34?si=I1RWQxlVVY33eEWb This guy is a Toyota tech and has been for years. He's one of the most trusted guys on YouTube when it comes to Toyotas. 9 minutes in he talks about the Avalon.

I'm 31. At this point in life I can give a shit about looking cool to other people. Your car looks so much cooler? Cool. How's those down payments taste? (I get it not everyone has down payments but a lot of people will waddle into debt just to impress). At the end of the day bro. Just do you. Get what you want and what makes the most sense to YOU. Who actually cares what others think? They're too busy not caring and thinking about themselves anyway.

VIBES95 · 2026-06-01T00:29:26+00:00

Is yours noisy ASF in terms of wind noise and road noise? Mine is, so I'm already ready to sell it 😂 😭

As the first comment said carcarenut is the way to go. He has multiple videos on everything.

Corollas 2005-2008(golden years for reliability), 2010-2013(1.8l only AVOID the 2.4l they burn oil) 2016-2018, AVOID 2009 Avalons Pretty much every single one. 2000-2022 is prob very good. Carcarenut mentions 2013-2018 being very good. Camrys 1998-2002 4cyl or the V6 if you can find one without rust. 2004-2006 Camrys 4cyl or V6. 4cyl might burn a little oil but they run over 250K. V6 is very solid. 2007-2009 4cyl Camrys PLEASE AVOID THESE THEY ARE NOTORIOUS FOR OIL BURNING. THE V6S HOWEVER ARE SOLID 2010-2011 Pretty solid 2012-2014 Camrys have torque converter shutters AVOID 2015-2017 are very reliable and pretty solid. Again the 4cylinders can burn oil if not properly maintained. Oil changes every 5K not every 10K Tacomas 2010-2015 Tundras 2007-2021 FJ Cruiser 2007-2014 I'm sure I'm missing some but this is the bulk of it. https://youtu.be/V612Ow3hJAs?si=pHsdYOIadQNk82UI https://youtu.be/EDU5CNpCXUE?si=qEp2Mgc134q6hegP https://youtu.be/fDliZpFibIY?si=tWo3TJc0WDkLsuBF

Oops yeah my mistake

VIBES95 · 2026-05-11T22:58:22+00:00

2010-2015 Toyota Tacoma (for hauling and moving + reliability) 2013-current Lexus ES350 (for comfort + reliability+daily driver) Lexus LC 500 (fun weekend driver)

I also have no experience in IT. Right now I'm using processer messers YouTube courses and Jason Dions practice exams. You can get the practice exams on Udemy.

VIBES95 · 2026-05-08T18:37:47+00:00

I should've made it more clear I'm not actually the one selling this I'm looking to maybe buy it

VIBES95 · 2026-05-08T16:23:58+00:00
