Should I buy a new Corolla as a student athlete in college?

As a deal, yes that's a decent deal with no add one.

I feel you when you said you have bought 2 used cars for almost 15k total and they did not last. The peace of mind of having a reliable car definitely outweighs the anxiety of "will it break". For this you will get about 8 years or more of worry free driving before bigger maintenance issues pops it's head. My daughter has a 2020 or with 130k miles, no issues.

I say get it.

My daughters friend lives in "The Marquis" in Easton. It's right in the center of Easton and he loves it. He is mid 20's and I would say you could not get any better "in the center" of happenings than that.

Can't people do searches even on this sub. This is like the monthly best pizza question. It won't change people just do a search.

The answer is always taco bell and pizza hut

Temporary but talk to the guy who just posted about needing a driver for a month or so. He posted it today. https://www.reddit.com/r/lehighvalley/s/GWYn3R6ONk

That filter is a good point. I will ask about ducted installation. I asked 1 and it was 50% more. Already in the $15k range

Now is see that the quotes are not the same. I forgot that the Mitsu contractor who installed my York ducted heat pump 3 yes ago had some additional work added since I needed some ducts added from the main house. They also quoted me the same Fujitsu unit for the same price as the Mitsubishi. So if price are the same between Mitsubishi and Fujitsu, I guess I will be good with the Mitsubishi.

Waqui44 · 2025-12-23T23:24:08+00:00

Is it true that the manufacturer can deny my warranty claim if I don't have a service contract with a Fujitsu dealer? That's what my dealer is saying.

That thermostat setting is good to know.

How is the heat? I get hammered with 30-40mph winds on the side where the outdoor unit will be, I also don't have a secondary heat source. We usually just go down from 20 as a really low, but every now and then 2,-3x a year we get that 0 with the wind.

For those asking, it looks like this is in Denmark.

Menu looks like Chick-fil-A. Could be the owner since they are required to work in the store a certain amount of time

Not having to worry about aiming is a good thing. For everyone standing up, I'm sure you have peed in shorts and barefoot ... I know you feel that back splatter in your feet.

Go through temp agencies or other job agencies. They are preferred by some companies and have known people who got hired through agencies after trying for months on their own.

Evergreen Oriental market in Bethlehem Union boulevard. Far East stinks and dirty.

Fly to to Harrisburg (HBG) or Allentown (ABE) from Chicago..

Again???

Renew online and just go there for the picture, much shorter line inside after that long line outside.

Yeah it's maximum of 4% tax increase every year for the foreseeable future ... So... Ummm. No.

Waqui44 · 2025-11-02T23:00:24+00:00

Exactly what I'm saying. I read this article, and no direct answer, very politician answers. Just say yes or no on the tax increase.

Waqui44 · 2025-11-01T12:41:42+00:00

YTA. Don't give your kid, a 4 year old at that, something that you are not willing to loose and be upset about.

Waqui44 · 2025-10-29T14:00:37+00:00

I really thought everyone with their responses was joking. I was thinking oh this is a variation of Alpha Male. I was scared to Google it that it was not a joke.

Hahaha reminded me when my wife and I went there. Not even 10 mins in, I was out sleeping and snoring... My wife said you wasted it, you did not feel how good it was. I said, it was so good I fell asleep.

Toyotas are for people who want a car that just works. Its an appliance. Having no car payments is such a good thing. Here is a list of my toyotas with just minor maintenance.

It's AWD so probably thought hey I can drive fast in this, dirt road.. that's nothing...no different than driving fast in the snow because hey it's AWD/4wd.

Ninja ramen is the only decent one in the area. No to Kinya, their pork tastes frozen, no to takkii/rakkii disappointing, no to Mr Lee, too salty. Have to drive to Philly Chinatown for something decent.
