>> Read some philosophy. Buy a reliable used car.
As the proud owner of a 2004 Toyota Corolla and a 2011 Philosophy Minor, this line made my day.
Honestly it is just plain good advice.
- TurkishPoptart 7y agoI love my 2001 Corolla. It's got 164k miles on it (had about 140 when I bought it), and I hope to get another 100k out of it!
- celestialcheese 7y agoSame here - except 220k. Still running great, but looking for a new-to-me car because i'm tired of driving it.
- jrumbut 7y agoI feel like a used car underachiever right now, looking forward to 2025 when I get a back up camera and bluetooth.
- xcasperx 7y agoYou can always buy a new stereo and install it. If you buy it from Crutchfield, for like $19 extra, you can get it prewired/harnessed so you don't have to splice the wires. Pretty sweet deal. Also, some stereos come with a backup cam. This has to be spliced in though. HUGE NOTE: I bought a 4.5-star receiver on Crutchfield, but the receiver didn't have Sirius XM on it, so I basically don't have radio (unless I use an app on my phone to stream the radio). I don't listen to the radio often so it's not a huge deal for me, just something to be aware of.
- BenjiWiebe 7y agoI have two cars. 03 VW Jetta TDI with 270k miles and an 09 Nissan Altima with 260k miles. Though I do get plenty of chances to try my hand at being a mechanic.
- adamredwoods 7y ago1998 Honda Civic, 225k miles. Drove it to the Microsoft campus everyday, and parked next to Porsches.
- taurath 7y agoHow many miles does your Philosophy Minor have on it? I've heard they're not very reliable
- blululu 7y agoIn fairness it does break down constantly, but I can usually repair it on my own. I should mention that it handles well in difficult terrain, and it appreciates in value over time.
- 8bitsrule 7y agoPhilosophy will get through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no philosophy. " Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself." — Rumi
- sh87 7y ago> Philosophy will get through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no philosophy. Good quote! I always feel philosophy is the abode for people who couldn't get sucked in by religion.
- mywittyname 7y agoIsn't philosophy kind of like CS minus the computers? I remember my sister talking about how much she hated her philosophy class and what she described was essentially discrete math-lite.
