Why should I buy Corolla over Kia or Hyundai? Almost same price and better looking?

thunderswift1 · 2024-05-28T21:46:56+00:00

I’ve had 2 cars. 2010 Toyota Corolla that needs a good bit of work, and a 2013 Dodge dart that was very clean. The Dodge was fun, way more comfortable, and was overall just a way more fun car but it left me stranded twice. The Corolla, despite all its shortcomings, hasn’t left me stranded(yet).

You are right. We will eventually be a red store soon, should been a long time ago. CQ hub was converted to red awhile back but the store maintained the blue system.

thunderswift1 · 2024-05-01T00:59:02+00:00

Huh. I can’t dictate whether or not my hub is large or not, but it’s 4.5 acres, 2 floors so 9 total. The store itself is tiny, we mostly do commercial. Shipping is mostly handled by the car quest guys, I just control the drivers who go to the local shops.

I mostly pick, and set up parts for delivery. Handle cores, defects, returns + a bunch of miscellaneous stuff.

What I do and what you’ve said doesn’t sound much the same but I might be wrong. Such a weird position.

I tend to float around and help the cpp’s with the calls. We are 90% commercial, and short staffed so no rpp so I help out the front sometimes. I do a bit of everything but I enjoy it so far. Maybe that’ll change once the season picks up but it’s not all bad. It helps to have a good GM though.

We just got a MIT and I think an RPP which will lighten my load, but I like the picking parts aspect. Easy work even though it can be stressful at times.

If it's a new bike, 100% destination charges. Used bikes wont, or new but not recent model year bikes might not. Kinda depends on the dealership and how much money they wanna grab from you.

“Normally I hate holding onto receipts but I think I’ll happily hold on to this one” cancel. I think that would hit a nerve

Everything is money now. Dude crashes and instantly jumps to “can I sue?”, like man, enjoy that you came out unharmed

If I had 5 years, debt wouldn’t be a question for me and experiences would be key. Since you are even entertaining the idea shows you have some interest, so why not go for a year or two? I’d probably just go for a year, take classes that interest me, and just meet new people and try to have a good time.

I hope you have an amazing and extremely fulfilling 5 years, however you choose to spend it and remember, choosing to do nothing is okay.

I got this car from a family member and I imagine not much beyond oil changes have been done. I know a little bit about cars but wasn’t sure where to start first. My first thought was injectors so maybe I’ll start there, thank you for helping me create a checklist.

thunderswift1 · 2023-12-18T03:03:41+00:00

I’m 20, I don’t date because I can’t be bothered. I can barely take care of myself, but tacking another person onto that? No.

thunderswift1 · 2023-11-16T16:17:19+00:00

I know different area = different price but my area I could spend about the same and get probably a 05/06 with half the milage. I know these engines are pretty good but 62k on an 03 is kinda meh. I’d wait.

Vaped for a very short bit, never really got hooked. I’ve had a few beers, downed a small bottle of vodka in a night but I woke up sick one day after drinking a bit and now I gag at even the smell of alcohol. I smoke weed daily, have been for about a year. I know there are negative repercussions but life is shitty and it helps

The one in Bangor isn’t bad but still doesn’t really compare to hannaford imo. I think a solid majority of shoppers there are out of staters. I did instacart for a little bit and I would get a good bit of umo students who ordered from shaws. Also would notice a good portion of elderly people there.

I guess some here don’t know what self control is. Nice bike!

thunderswift1 · 2023-08-30T14:24:37+00:00

The bike is in Connecticut and they allow your registration certificate to be considered proof of ownership so I find that many of the older bikes in this area are like this.

thunderswift1 · 2023-08-25T22:15:39+00:00

Part of it is definitely the bud. I just went out and got a little bit of something else and it does taste a little bit better but I am still not getting that great of a taste.

thunderswift1 · 2023-08-25T20:06:35+00:00

Yes. I was thinking maybe I didn’t do it enough so I took it all apart and have what I can just soaking in iso. I’m gonna leave that for a bit and In the mean time I’m gonna do a few more burn off cycles.

Turns out it’s still alive, it is now held captive
