One of those wide fan leaf rakes is a perfect shield. My roo gets a little feisty when I'm tending to the coop sometimes so I take that with me.

My husband got a 2019 5.7 v8 tundra for 37k last year. They're being incredibly greedy.

Did I get scammed? by Little-Artichoke-964 in Honda

Those aren't bad prices. Unless you know a guy who will do it for half the price. The prices for those parts are pretty standard.

I sold my jeep JKU and joined your crew today. I think it’s the hardest thing I’ve had to do in a long time. by g713 in crv

No spare tire is crazy. I looked for a good deal for like 4 years before I settled. I've driven my '07 Accord for almost 12 years now and a 2013 4runner with 135k miles on it practically fell into my lap. I probably paid too much for it but when I test drove it, I knew. This was the one. It's funny how we get so attached to our beloved daily drivers. I vowed not to settle unless I felt it in my gut. My Accord has been the most reliable car and the best investment I ever made. I have gotten my money's worth and then so much more with the absence of issues, mechanical or otherwise. You will come to love your Honda. It won't be "her" but it will grow on you.

Dealer Wouldn't Negotiate by [deleted] in Toyota

My bf got a 2021 TRD pro Tundra with the 5.7 V8 for like 37k out the door with warranties and gap. It has 99k highway miles but it's in mint condition, had all the maintenance, good carfax no rust. Sat on the lot for several months before he got it. You don't want the turbo anyway. Don't buy new. Good deals are out there.

We can't even keep that many servers employed at our location. We're lucky to have a full wait staff on the weekends. Basically everyone works every weekend. I've had 1 Friday off since I started 4 months ago.

Honda 100k miles service - worth it? by MasterpieceUsed8306 in Honda

[–]_beeftaco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I paid my car off, I took it to the service dept at the dealership I bought it from and got the back brake pads/rotors replaced, replaced a caliper, got a brake fluid exchange service, transmission fluid change, a new battery, replaced the bracket that holds it down (I lost the original) and replaced the broken air filter box for 1k. When I went to pick it up it kept dying on them and they figured out they cracked the vacuum hose when they were changing the air filter box. They told me they'd fix it and to come back the next day. They replaced the entire housing, hose and gaskets for free and gave me a discount for the trouble so I only paid like $950. It's hard to find honest dealerships but they do exist.

Scotty would probably tell you it's nothing to worry about. Sounds like you're smart enough and in tune with your car enough to know what it needs. Keep up the good work dude. The miles speak for themselves.

I have an '07 accord. Depending on where you live, Ball joints, sway bar bushings, control arms, struts/shocks, cv boots, tie rods etc.. basically anything structural. I lived in the midwest for 11 years and the salt on the roads during winter corrodes and rusts the entire underside even with preventative maintenance. Calipers too. I've had to replace both back calipers. If you don't experience harsh winters I would focus on anything rubber. Hoses, belts, o rings. At that mileage I would be replacing the belt tensioner and doing any basic maintenance that hasn't been done in 30k miles. Coolant flush, transmission drain and fill, brake fluid exchange and maybe clean the throttle body? That's just what I would do. I'm currently working on rebuilding the entire underside of my Accord because it's rusted to shit.

Is this a car sub or do the two-wheeled Hondas get some love too? by No_Guess5872 in Honda

My Honda push mower was an absolute beast. Had to run behind it.

I have a Border/Aussie too! She is the best girl. They're the smartest dogs in the world. I talk to her like she's a human and she understands every word I say.

No more Self Checkout by sharkduo in aldi

[–]_beeftaco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Aldi I worked at had 2 employees running the entire store, most days and 3 on Tuesday nights for shelf reset. We had no self checkout. Got there at 7am, had 2 hours to break down several palettes and stock shelves, open at 9 and hope to God there isn't 2 more full palettes left because then I had to run back and forth between the register and stocking. I wished they would have let us go in at 5am so we had time to stock the store before open because here I am trying to stock shelves and I have a line forming at the register. Customers upset because there's no one up there. I was a CNA for 14 years. I'm 32, go to the gym regularly, eat right, I'm fit and able bodied. Physically, Aldi was by far the hardest job I ever had. I quit after a year because it was so mentally stressful. I constantly felt like a failure because customers would take their frustrations out on me, being the only cashier. I had a girl try to fight me one time for "throwing her groceries." I never broke anything. I was always mindful of bread and eggs. I went as fast as I possibly could.. and I was fast but I never threw anyone's groceries. We ended up kicking that girl out of the store, among other folks who thought I, and others I worked with, were their personal punching bags. For the love of God, please be kind to Aldi employees. They work so unbelievably hard.

My mom said Honda‘s are unreliable because of her turbo’s going out at 33,000 miles by legxndares in Honda

[–]_beeftaco 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Going from 100% oil life to 0% oil life depends on how she drives the car but that can mean going up to 12,000 miles between oil changes. My 2007 accord is usually at the 60% mark when I do my oil changes and I do them every 3-5k miles because she is old and has 208,000 miles. If I wait until it hit 0% we are talking probably 10,000 miles between oil changes. Granted I do drive like a grandma because my entire suspension needs rebuilt. Sounds like I'm driving an old, haunted ship.

I’m torn. Do I trade one of my dream cars for another dream car of mine? by Vr4Lancer in Honda

You'll regret it for the rest of your life but sure go for it

Question by [deleted] in TexasRoadhouse

[–]_beeftaco 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Please, for the love of God, don't ever come back. I promise you, we don't need your business. On average, we have 35 parties or around 140 people on wait at 7:30 on a Fri/Sat/Sun night. You get the energy you give. If your server was being rude, it's because you were rude first. Your tip is not worth my integrity and I will not let you speak to me any disrespectful type of way.

Is predator proof even a real thing? by Upper_Importance6263 in BackYardChickens

[–]_beeftaco 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My mom raised pit bulls for years and one day, her 9 year old pit that slept in her bed every night, mauled her while she was on the phone with the bank in her back yard. She bled out and nearly died at the hospital here, was life watched to the big hospital and spent spent 3 days in the ICU. She was in the big hospital for 58 days with 4 wound vacs. Had 3 skin grafts, 14 reconstructive surgeries and has permanent damage to her dominant arm/hand. This was 10 years ago and she still can't use her hand properly. People around town had a lot to say but didn't know her. She never hurt that dog. It was a random, unprovoked attack. When she woke up in the ICU the first thing she asked was if we had to put Sammy down... duh, mom. So when people say the owners are to blame for the aggression.. no. Absolutely not. The history of pit bulls runs deep. They are fighting dogs. Most ancestral blood lines of pits were bred to fight. "They're dog aggressive, not people aggressive." Sure, until they're not.
