@horsepower $1023 through Honda's website. Dealerships throw on their own profit. This will be your cheapest OEM part that you know is not a knockoff

@maxisnicee Ha, I remember telling my friend when he joined the Knicks -- "KAT is just a goofy version of Lebron". Could you imagine if he had some athleticism in him?

@DomDoesMedia With a tire replace at 3/32" (hard recommend, a lot of people now do between 3 and 4/32"), that's only 27K miles on a set of tires. I just got 75K on my Camry. So you're paying 3X for tires than I pay, and since your tires are 30% more expensive, it's closer to 4X

Has anyone come across a tradesman (plumber, electrician, HVAC) or mechanic that does NOT wreak of marijuana when you meet them?

Is it now a requirement to smoke, then do the work? Is this like a beer pong thing where the more you drink, the better the accuracy gets?

@Peakyburger @summer_200005 Seriously, that's what dealers around me charge for an oil change and their "21 pt" inspection, where they always seem to find 8 pages of recommended repairs on a 2-year old car.

Sure, Mavis or Jiffy Lube will be $80, but you don't know what you're gonna get there

@OnlineHyde @_realseanspeed Then you are not following the issue very closely. Most of the internet has made up their mind

[The Frugal Engineer @FinEngineer77]

@rafthemaster @EZebroni You think I’d follow a Turo person? Not in a million years. The algorithm controls it all

[The Frugal Engineer @FinEngineer77]

@EZebroni That’s fine. Just don’t complain about the exact things that you’d expect from entering a business like that

[The Frugal Engineer @FinEngineer77]

@OnlineHyde @_realseanspeed All data is pointing to poor maintenance and crews disregarding issues. That's why we haven't heard a peep from them on this

[The Frugal Engineer @FinEngineer77]

@Mealsandeals @grok Ice and snow falling on people and cars is probably not something the city wants happening

[The Frugal Engineer @FinEngineer77]

@wolf201257 A good mechanic should be able to tell if a car was maintained properly without a full service history

@disneytipsguy 5-minutes. We entered the gate, waited for rope drop, my daughter threw up, we turned around and asked for a refund for the day (they had no problem since ropes hadn't dropped)

@realfrugalmogul Trader Joes comes to town. And if you get a Whole Foods, you know you're really in the thick of gentrifying

@scottwalker88 Ah, you think like an engineer but not a program manager. PM says "If I build the coaster and the building at the same time, that's half the schedule to complete the whole project".

@rushicrypto What makes you think they're using a mortgage? That's one year of salary for anyone in the middle ranks of a tech company

[The Frugal Engineer @FinEngineer77]

@ReezyResells @Toyota My dealership put 6-quarts of oil in my 5-qt engine, causing leaks all over the place (I saw the spots on the ground, checked the dipstick, and observed that it was 1" above the max fill line

They said I added an extra quart (because normal people do that)

[The Frugal Engineer @FinEngineer77]

@jonbrooks Well, house prices barely blinked when this happened just four years ago. What's the reason it will be different this time?

[The Frugal Engineer @FinEngineer77]

@BullishBearz @CuzSaidSo216 People also weren't as heavily invested into the stock market and bitcoin. Different world completely
