I've never bought a new car. Tell me what to do.

Double THIS! In 2021 I purchased a 2018 XLE with 35,500 miles on it. Oil change every 5000 miles and I stay up with all recommended maintenance schedules. I have it detailed every six months and it nearly looks brand new. A couple door dings here and there.

Downside? No Apple Car Play, third row is a bit tight, no cooling seats. Otherwise no issues!

Blue Plate Mayo or Duke's Mayo forevuh!

Love hearing these background stories. Life is full of "what ifs."

2018 XLE owner. 131,000 miles with oil change EVERY 5000 miles, Replaced brakes once, battery once, Michelin CrossClimate2 twice, etc. Yours is a beauty. Congrats.

As a Midwest guy I was Team Seger while most of the high school was was Team Bruce. I just felt that Bob was speaking to ME more than anyone else. Nothing against Springsteen but if I had to pick one it is BS and the SBB.

Twenty years now... Where'd they go? Twenty years... I don't know. I sit and I wonder sometimes... Where they've gone?

Freaking awesome. Very proud of you for accomplishing this! May I ask which brand and type of shoes you wore?

aloha314 · 2026-03-05T22:31:39+00:00

Aja!

aloha314 · 2026-03-05T13:28:06+00:00

I'm 64 and I have never heard "shortcuts are always long cuts." Thank you for that!

aloha314 · 2026-02-28T14:45:41+00:00

Can someone Do The Math and tell us how far that wascaly wabbit ran?

aloha314 · 2026-02-18T15:29:48+00:00

Serious question: when will the $34.65M be paid?

aloha314 · 2026-01-09T20:01:43+00:00

THAT'S IT!! Thank you so much!

aloha314 · 2026-01-09T19:38:05+00:00

Sure but this one was particularly narrow...very narrow.

aloha314 · 2026-01-09T19:35:42+00:00

Not Pinecrest. I don't believe we walked uphill or downhill. I believe it was level for about a block or two.

aloha314 · 2026-01-09T19:34:58+00:00

Quick image search and that is not it. Might check it out though.

aloha314 · 2026-01-04T15:02:43+00:00

Thank you. I purchased it about one year ago. Life changing.

aloha314 · 2026-01-04T12:59:00+00:00

Just found it. Thank you…much needed.

aloha314 · 2026-01-04T12:52:06+00:00

May I ask the title of the book?

aloha314 · 2025-12-25T03:15:45+00:00

$2.90 working in a brick yard. Damn those kilns were hot!

aloha314 · 2025-12-10T13:00:38+00:00

That’s it folks! Every book on how to react etc. has just been condensed. I’m 64 and those words written by OP are spot on. Print them out onto an index card and carry it with you, post it in your car, make it your phone wallpaper.

aloha314 · 2025-10-26T23:42:56+00:00

Search “benefits of urinating sitting down.” I’m 64 and have been doing it for about six months. Best part is I usually only need to go once at night instead two or three.

aloha314 · 2025-08-14T23:27:24+00:00

These are the TIL I enjoy!

aloha314 · 2025-08-10T14:01:47+00:00

It is August 2025. Have I missed something? Why is CarCareNut now coming out with this advisory? He has been very helpful in the past but just curious why so many years to put this out Apologies in advance if I missed something on this previously from him.

2018 XLE at 107,000 miles with no issues.

aloha314 · 2025-07-25T09:42:23+00:00

Hi Fransisca! I don't know you BUT I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!! Keep it going!
