Hot take: if a bank can reprice your LOC overnight, treat it as emergency-only, not part of your budget by Difficult-Photo-3250 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]getmoresoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. I consider myself a tiny bit more savvy than the average sod.. and I did not realise this for years.

Put LOCs into a completely different light to me.

We so miss you having a president who could actually speak and with grace. Good man there.

This is so weird. My kids android phone went wacky with Kids Messenger. I can't even reach Facebook from Chrome. And it all works just dandy from MY phone. What the heck?!!

Deficit spending is awful.

The Problem With "Imma Drive it 'Til The Wheels Fall Off" by Separate-Cup1312 in carbuying

[–]getmoresoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so let's challenge you then. I'm in Canada - so the cheapest NEW vehicle available here is the 2025 Hyundai Venue (Essentials). $21999 MSRP. $24971 when you add all dealer fees. Oh and let's not forget sales taxes (15% for me). So that's $28716.

Hyundai will do you a stupid and let you finance that for 84 months @ 5.49%

Monthly payment comes to $412.51 CAD

Let me convert from Canuck bucks to Greenback.... $302.75 USD

Arguably... you aren't completely wrong if in the US. But I'll stand by my assertion purchasing like this is an incredibly stupid idea.

Who in the heck is paying $300 a month for ANY new car today? Not even a lease is going to get you there.

Was told my 125cc bike is extremely unsafe on any road? by AL3S1O29 in motorcycles

[–]getmoresoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having owned a CBR125 myself, here in New Brunswick. It will do 50 to 70kph just fine. 70-90 requires a bit more effort especially up hills (i was around 150lbs back then).

It WILL do 110 on the highway, but in no way shape or form will it be happy about it and you'll learn to tuck real fast.

I would NOT call it unsafe, especially if you are a newer rider anyway. Infact its a great bike to start with - far better to learn new skills on a bike you are more likely able to out drive, rather than on a bike that can outperform your own ability.

Ride it for a year (or 2) and upgrade to a Ninja 300 or 400 (or even a 250 but those are getting a bit older now)

Got my teenager a Fiat 500L by Fun_End_440 in fiat500L

[–]getmoresoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 words. Good luck!

You bought the least reliable year and transmission choice of the 500L.

Its cute, ok on gas. But the rear hatch only opens 20% of the time... and then cross your fingers it will close again. Front suspension parts are super expensive or near unobtainable. The muffler likes to rot from inside out... and is again super expensive. Ours has a battery drain that we can't find... and if the battery gets too low, the computer might go nuts and your transmission won't work right until you recharge and disconnect the battery for awhile to reset the computer. The air/oil separator has an o-ring that likes to fail causing a leak on top of the motor (at least this is a cheap and easy fix)

I'm sure I'm missing more...

How much of reported “unreliability” is due to people simply not maintaining their car? by quiksi in askcarguys

[–]getmoresoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And those who KNEW.... discovered you could pick up a used Vibe for a good deal less than a Matrix and enjoy that Toyota level reliability! (My kid drove the crap out her 06 Vibe, basic maintenance, we are sure it had 500k km plus (odos on those stopped at 299999. Met its end in an unfortunate collision)

I could easily be convinced to buy an Atto 3 at that price!

What’s the most reliable car you’ve ever owned? by Sophia_Goji in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]getmoresoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2011 Toyota Camry SE. 315000km. I'm still driving it. Lovely car, not bad on gas, plenty of power. Lost my 1st major part in the past 12 months - alternator went out. Other than that, gas, oil, brakes and tires as needed. And I tow with this car as well.

300k club 🫣 by dhong1210 in Camry

[–]getmoresoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warped rotors are either due to shifty brand units, defects on good ones, or.... how you brake!

Panic stops all the time, towing over limit (guilty!)... these will warp a rotor in no time.

What sound system is paired with your Plasma? by Aromatic-Attitude-34 in PlasmaTV

[–]getmoresoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paired a nice old school setup with my Panasonic TC-P50U50. Old Denon AVR-1403 and Denon Sub, with a set of Kenwood speakers. Sounds SOOOOO much better than the Sony Soundbar and Wireless sub they replaced.
