    Always glad to see. What’s your maintenance look like? Any advice for the rest of us?

      1. Get a Honda or Toyota
      2. change oil every 5-10k miles
      3. If it aint broke dont fix it
      4. wash it once a year (optional. DO NOT WAX- its bad karma)

      You don’t think that van is moving at roughly 11x the speed of sound?

        They were good back then. They don’t make them like they used to.

    I thought “rolled over” meant something else, but that would have been far too not-dull.

      Somewhere out in the west, there’s a town with a lone van rolling with the tumbleweeds. Makes the shootouts all the more interesting

    I got you beat. I put 16,000 miles on my car in the eight years I’ve owned it. I don’t go out much since I retired. That’s how you do dull.

    Back in the day, 100K was a piece of shit, no one would touch it. Powertrain warranties were 36K. Cars are amazing these days, but I loathe the maintenance.

          How is that dull, though? It’s a dilemma inside a conundrum . .

    That’s why you should apply the parking brake before leaving. You’re lucky nobody were injured!


    I sold my 30 year old faithful Volvo 940. The odometer was around 450000km

      I have a 2002 Ford F-150 7700 4×4 with about 320,000 km on it. I should be up in the 450k range right about 2032, assuming civilization hasn’t collapsed and fuel is still broadly available.

      It was my father’s truck, so I am quite invested in keeping it in good repair. About the only things not working are the AC, the rear window trim (when it rains), and the radio (haven’t been arsed to track down the fuse that blew). Everything else is in decent to great condition for a truck just shy of a quarter century. Runs like a dream, not a single leak on the engine.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

  • what is this thing?
  • No Stupid Questions
  • Ask Lemmy
  • Self Hosted
  • Mildly Interesting

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
