No car, no problem.
My car got stolen this morning. I feel this in my soul.
That’s rough my dude 🫂

Toyota
They’re boring, they’re behind in tech, they aren’t cool, they’re more expensive to buy
But seriously, if you want to just follow the maintenance schedule and get to where you need to go with minimal doubt - there’s nothing quite like them
Agreed. Bought a used toyota yaris back in 2018. Still runs perfect, and even if something would go wrong. It’s cheap so I’m not worried. Good speakers, mpg is decent enough and road tax is like £35 per year. Doesn’t make me look super cool, but I’d rather be financially sound.
Older German cars also are great. My Skoda from ~2000 is still going strong (never had any issues) and I also see a lot of other older VW/Skoda around (also Audi, Mercedes and BMW but those are more expensive). Don’t know what it’s like today but at that time at least Skodas got the exact same engines as Audis, just not as beautiful bodies.
Can’t comment on modern German cars, they haven’t passed the test of time yet.
Skoda
They’re Czech. The name even has a little thing on the S, officially.
I know, but they belong to VW and at least back then used Audi engines (which also belongs to VW)
I can’t trust a car no matter how Japanese it is, but… I watched a lil docuseries on dangerous roads, and it seemed like at least 80% of the vehicles (outside of heavy trucks) were Toyota. I dunno if it’s because they’re the most reliable, or because Toyota just has the market in many of these developing countries, but it was interesting.
No car, no car problems.
My recently promoted boss just totaled his car.
He’s okay but YUP.
does that really count as a car problem, to me a car problem is when ur care breaks randomly, crashing feels like something else, something in a different category.
Holy shit why is this so true LMAO
This hits hard… I was just quoted 5000-8000€ repair for a sudden engine failure
I learned how to repair my own vehicles after I was quoted $2,600 to install a $40 part. I could’ve also had an entire rebuilt engine shipped and swapped it in myself for about half that, but I ultimately decided to go with the $40 + basic tools.
If wasn’t Juscelino Kubitschek and the auto industry lobby, Brazil would be walkable and full of choo choos right now. I hate Kubitschek!
Boy, ain’t this the fuckin truth
It’s funny to think of life as a board game or a role playing game being played on the “astral plane” or whatever by our “higher selves.” Car problems etc are just really unfortunate dice rolls.
There’s always something.
There’s only been one time in my life where everything was going so good. That was a good month.
Just had to spend over $10k on a new air conditioner in the 90F degree heat.
For me it’s more kicking me while I’m down. I do not need a new windshield right now, life!
Tu as besoin de !moinsdevoitures@jlai.lu dans ta vie.
Oh, totally this; but not just car stuff, it can be home stuff too. Just got slapped with a fat HVAC refrigerant refill. I had no idea this shit was so expensive. Over $2k for a recharge.
