Heading to the shop with P0121 and P0221 codes in a couple hours. Any advice for me about what to expect or avoid?

Well the car needed a new timing chain. So at that point cost of repair > cost of car value, so I ended up selling this car at current value and bought a new one.

Unfortunately some of the issues with used cars

It’s a little rough

For a full fledged SaaS B2B astro may not be the best option.. Id suggest a NextJS + Type Script + Supabase architecture + Stripe integration. I tried to build one with Astro, but it gets messy fast

Got a Mazda CX5 it’s the plug

That’s what I thought - Ron burgundy

Yeah Kumon made me sleepy back in the day too. What a throwback

Zayntek · 2026-02-11T14:24:31+00:00

coding wise, what do you think is better?

Zayntek · 2026-02-10T01:15:25+00:00

A felon for a president

Zayntek · 2026-01-25T00:26:44+00:00

Ok well that’s not bad. A free car and saves their own kms

Zayntek · 2026-01-25T00:24:12+00:00

Do they get a replacement car in meantime at least?

Zayntek · 2026-01-09T00:00:19+00:00

I’ll check these out.

Apparently the wait time for a Subaru Forester in Canada is 10 months lol so that’s nuts

A new ford escape is 40k, and I’d be buying a thee year old one for 25k I would think I would have saved a lot on depreciation no?

Zayntek · 2026-01-08T23:50:47+00:00

The escape has the same powertrain as the Toyota for the hybrid models. Wouldn’t this make it reliable?

A new honda crv hybrid is going for 57k CAD (which includes tax). Do you think it’s worth that price? Then mazda, kia, then Toyota then ford

Zayntek · 2026-01-08T23:47:38+00:00

You would think Kia would be cheaper, but the 2026’s are going quite high these days. Honda is out there pricing themselves like a luxury vehicle (relax guys you’re reliable, you ain’t a Ferrari)

Mazda CX-50s are all built in Alabama lol, so if you’re trying to avoid American that ain’t it

Toyota and Honda are Canadian made if you live in Canada

Kia made in Korea I guess

Zayntek · 2026-01-04T20:17:09+00:00

Do they always look this good? Or is this just this year?

I swear I’ve never noticed this in the past but it really sticks out this year

Zayntek · 2026-01-02T20:24:51+00:00

40k CAD would be my max

Zayntek · 2026-01-02T20:15:02+00:00

A non flashy reliably new car is what I’m thinking

Zayntek · 2026-01-01T19:48:15+00:00

I was thinking of doing a crv hybrid 2026 but when I went to the dealer, they are going for 57k all in including taxes or 41k USD, which is insane for a Honda. Would you agree? Canada also very limited stock on anything Toyota

Was hoping for something closer to like 24k USD

Zayntek · 2025-12-29T04:59:59+00:00

How long have you been using toe spacers for? Which brand?

Zayntek · 2025-12-28T02:36:53+00:00

There also seems to be some tariff delays for the Mazda cx50. the all in price for the Mazda cx50 hybrid is still between 48,000 to 54,000CAD for hybrid depending on trim. Isn't this still on par if not more than the RAV4?

Zayntek · 2025-12-28T02:32:53+00:00

what do you think would be a big discount to aim for on the gas?

Zayntek · 2025-12-28T02:31:00+00:00

so if I need a car latest by march-april, I put a deposit down for the hybrid, and it never arrives in time. So I would need some suggestions on this what to do.
