Today, my backup car (2010 Subaru, 170k miles) just had a smoke event upon starting. Uh oh. Head gasket? Valve guides? Probably nothing good. So, hell yeah I'm excited to watch this.

Ever since I reserved a Slate my Toyota is behaving badly. It must know it's days are numbered....

Idler pulley seized, left me stranded, coil packs going bad. Rough running at times. A/c is not doing so well.
Little stuff but annoying. All happening since the Slate reservation. No fun calling Dad to come get me. I am not a teenager anymore by many years. Dad will be 90 this year.

My Nissan, likely CVT going, I don't hear it most of the time, but if there is something for the sound to bounce off of, I hear a squeal when I shift into reverse. Also AC seems weak. Hoping it all lasts long enough to get a Slate without putting repair money into it first.

I am doing more to my 185K daily driver these days to make sure that it won't fail before Slate arrives. 😬 Two original belts were replaced last month. The coils this weekend and the alternator next... The thought of having to get a different car to hold me over is unbearable.

My 2010 Subaru (130k miles) also started having coolant issues this month, and mechanic suspects its a head gasket issue. no milky oil (yet), but my biggest problem is it is my primary car, and I'm not sure it will last until Q4 or Q1 2027!
