Mamaw has a 2004 Ford Taurus that has close to 200K, and the motor runs like a top. But the body is falling apart.
Hence, it is time for her 2015 Civic.

I have a 2014 Tacoma. It has 104,000. I got it used at 96,000, it was owned by a guy who escorted oversize loads. It had almost all highway miles. It replaced a 2005 Frontier which was slowly eating my bank account. From that purchase I learned never to buy the first year of a new model. At 105,000 miles it began to just fall apart in every system, air, transmission, windows, fuel injectors, catalytic converter and exhaust. Fortunately for me [/sarc], I bought it used and included an extended warranty up to 100,000 miles, coincidently, just before the truck began a slow trip to the junkyard.
I think I've read in the past that many browsers use elements from Chrome.
Well my big dog can get wet today, she made it past the 48 hour mark on her flea medicine. Good thing too, because we have more rain again. Yesterday it was 85 here. Today the high will be in the low 50's most likely. We had a downpour last night for a little while, thankfully it didn't last long. I'm still wearing shorts, and it is 74 in the house. But it won't be long and I will have to put some fall clothing on. I don't acclimate to massive temperature changes that well.
Well I'm juicing up my batteries now. Hopefully they will be done before worse weather hits. That way if the power goes out again, I am gonna be alright. The dogs were funny to watch when we went out the front door today. Even they noticed the big temperature change. Cool weather always makes dogs a little frisky. Neither one of mine like wet weather though, so that dampened their excitement. The big dog loves cooler weather. She hates the summers here. When it is nice and cool like this, she puts up her happy tail, almost like a cat.

I agree. And I subscribed to this thinking for many years. However, I broke that belief when I bought a first model year Jeep in 2007. It now has over 100K miles and other than the power window cluster crapping out it has not had a single thing wrong with it. Had an issue with the AC not holding a charge but in the end the problem was with the people charging it (me and Mr. Tire). The dealer charged it no problem. The only other thing that slightly bugs me is it needs a front end alignment every 15,000 miles. A bit short IMO. But it has been a charm otherwise and I consider myself damn lucky! It probably helped the car was made by Daimler. The Germans are pretty good with rollouts.
I made an emotional decision when I bought that truck, I succumbed and my head was over ruled, at my age I should have known better.
I don't know about Vivaldi. I just use Firefox and Duck Duck Go and click on a new tab when I want to search something.

I know what you mean CMD. Our brains might run at a slower RPM as we age but we have accumulated much wisdom that doesn't require RPMs. Perhaps the greatest benefit of wisdom is getting that feeling that something isn't quite right and a pause is required to think it through. Yet even a person of wisdom sometimes ignores that feeling. Then we get our tit in a wringer and we don't forgive ourselves.
All you guys convinced me to go with DDG. I use it all the time. Not sure what the benefits are but it hasn't exploded in my face yet.
2002 Toyota Sequioa with somewheres over 150k miles on it. Bought it in 2003 with about 15k on it. It has the heavy duty tow package because the previous owner had a big boat they hauled with it. I used that tow twice to yank my mower out of wet soil in my backyard.
Mostly basic maintenance over the years. It’s been a dream vehicle. Now I must find some wood to knock.
I drive about 3k per year these days. @Bunnykiller ... you need to get out less.

Congrats to Mamaw! My previous car was a Honda Accord and it was a most excellent machine. I’ve always loved the look of the Civic and the Accord.
That grumpy 18 year old left here yesterday, smiling and excited about next semester at home... I mentioned (during the arguments) getting to find a 'real' part-time job next semester, and saving up for a newer vehicle. We cover pretty much everything else for them (because we can now) so he can save away if he so chooses..
Well done, well done!!! Another trial by fire you’ve gotten through. And only a little bit scorched by it, eh?
They claim not to track your searches and not to gather data on you. Who knows? I have their word for it but who knows.

I I was near you, you could knock my head, it is rumored to be solid knotty pine.
A person of wisdom, wow, I have been called lots of names, a possessor of wisdom has never been that. But then again, I may presume too much.
I have no idea. I always trust what I see on the internet.
