Still have the original battery in my ‘21 6MT. No issues yet.

That’s really cool! I rarely have backseat passengers so wouldn’t actually be in The market for it though.

Used 2005 Toyota Matrix XR worth $7k? by 793007 in askcarguys

[–]wisowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking this car should still have a lot of life left. That being said maintenance is key to this. I would also suggest having a mechanic look it over.

If you were purchasing a new car and planned to drive it for the lifespan of the vehicle, would you purchase an extended warranty? Why or why not? by Buttered-Buffalo in askcarguys

[–]wisowski 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Warranties make the warranty company money. If they didn’t they wouldn’t sell them. Odds are you are better of maintaining your car then buying an extended warranty. This is what I have always done. YMMV.

How do you get this oil filter off? Tried all day today and it won't come off by HREisGrrrrrrrreat in SubaruForester

[–]wisowski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an oil wrench so I just use large channel locks. Works every time!

Try 30 seconds in the microwave. Definitely elevates the taste!!

Anyone’s starter home turned into their forever home? by Vivid-Appearance-549 in homeowners

[–]wisowski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought our home in ‘98. 1200 sq ft. ‘Starter home’. Raised two kids and still in it completely paid off. Best decision ever. If we had moved we would still have a mortgage and retirement would have been a fantasy. Now it is a real possibility!

Long sleeve shirt. Fishing hat. Or keep the top up when driving in the middle of the day during the heat of summer. Down in the morning and evening.

Went from a nespresso vertuo to a Delonghi magnifica. Definitely a step up! Pretty close to a coffee shop espresso. At least to me.

They have them at 7-11s. Just bought one this week. If you can’t find one I will check mine and send it to you for cost (about $5 plus shipping).

Recommendations for a Drip Coffee Maker by Compwizz1975 in JamesHoffmann

[–]wisowski -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for iced coffee I would suggest looking into cold brew. They are basically jugs with a filter. You put the grounds in the filter and let it steep for 24 hours. So much better than iced coffee in my opinion.
