Nissan Maxima Reliability
My brother in law has one of these that's probably about 10 years old and has nearly 170,000 miles on it. He's offering to sell it to me in another year as a kid car. I know he's taken good care of it, but have generally been leery of Nissan's because of their repair reputation. I am nervous... -

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/07/16/savings-parents-say-its-embarrassing-to-rely-on-them-after-27/1705355001/ Interesting article. I'd say it's a good thing that they feel a sense of embarrassment. I'm an X'r so had way different dynamics to deal with. Seems like the thinking... -

Honda Ridgeline
The new ones interest me as a possible replacement for my Dodge Durango (which has 190,000 miles on it). I want something with a lot of tech that is quiet and rides nice. By all accounts these do. Full-size pickups are so dang big it’s hard to find one with 4 doors that will fit in my garage... -

4 Cylinder vs 6 Cylinder Engines
I love this guy's videos. Very practical. He's got me convinced that my next kid car will be a simple 4 cylinder. - Why not to buy a V6 Car - Why not to buy a used Hybrid - Why not to buy a Turbocharged car -

Car Insurance Cost Luxury Cars
My inlaws recently bought a really nice Lincoln SUV. They shared that yearly insurance for the thing is over $2,000! Holy cow! My most expensive vehicle (granted it’s a 11 year old Honda minivan) is less than $400. I am a big believer in the saying that you can make yourself Insurance poor... -

Sears Closing
Heard today they are closing the local store in Waterloo. Am not surprised as was in there a few weeks back and the place was nearly empty. Selection is so much more sparse relative to what it used to be and prices not so great. Sears used to be my go to store. Never dreamed they would go... -

I went down to the Football game yesterday in Manhattan. Tough loss obviously, but have to say that all the Kstate fans I met were very classy and nice. Would go there again in a heartbeat.- Bobber

If I was him would want to look at film of all the penalties they had too. We had our fair share of penalties as well. I thought Gary was really gracious and classy with his post game comments after a tough loss... -

Cast Iron Cooking
Got tired of buying Teflon pans and eventually seeing the Teflon flick off and wonder where it went...Bought a couple cast iron skillets about a month ago and have been using ever since. It is a bit of a learning curve getting them seasoned and learning to cook with them, but once you do, it's... -

Shoulder Issue
Banged my shoulder up last November doing something stupid. It's gotten better, but still bugs me when I twist it a certain way. Have not had it looked at, but did talk to a friend who is a Physical Therapist and he suspected it is an impinged Shoulder and not a torn Rotator Cup. Anybody else... -

Need a new TV
My 10 year old 42 inch Toshiba has started getting really funky with colors and am starting to see a lot more pinks. Think it's on the way out and the Best Buy guy tells me I did good to get 10 years out of it. Want a replacement in the 42 to 50 range. Have a Roku- so not sure I really need a... -

Auto Diagnostic Tools
I have debated off and on investing in one of these to figure out what's going on when a check engine light comes on instead of taking it to a dealer and paying them to do it. Does anybody have a good suggestion on one that offers a good combination of value and practically? I see you can get... -

Have been toying around with getting a third vehicle as my oldest will be able to get a school permit in another 6 months. Let a local mechanic know that and he found a beautiful 2007 Avalon with 155,000 miles on it. We got a deal put together and should be getting later today. We really... -

Wine Snob Question
How do you tell the difference between a $50 bottle of wine and a $10 bottle? I honestly can't. I pretty much get all my wine at Aldi's and have never been disappointed. To me it's more about the type of grape, than the producer. We like Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz. On the...
