Anyhoo... the ****in' thing is only worth $8k. Now what?

Should I order it wrenched on?

Or should I go purchase a new cheap Toyota Rav4 or some shit? Wife only drives this thing when there's snow on the streets. Roughly 1500 miles per year.

New would be nice since I'm the one that always has to deal with maintenance/break downs and the such.

RX is 12 years old, 130,000 miles, and meticulously maintained but I know there's plenty to go wrong moving forward and my wrencher is a good 7 minute drive from the house.

What say you?

My '08 ES has 140K on it, I'd say fix it. Could be something simple.

Your sense of humor just stopped by and is sad because it can't find you.

It could be that.

It could also be that your shtick is played out and no longer funny.

The “shtick” that we’ve grossly overreacted to a threat that’s not nearly as bad as the “experts” and politicians say it is? That’s not a “shtick,” it’s a fact.

Go grab your yoga mat Steve, take a deep breath and let’s do dying cockroach pose. I think it will help you relax.

Things that make you go..... hmmmmm



Yea, I have kept my input as factual and middle of the road as possible while others daily spout off their far right and far left BS. Not just here but everywhere.



Every now and again, I like to try to shine a little reality on what is really happening. And the neat thing is, I have a right to my opinions too.
