The web designer work is booming. Lots of traditional small business are forced to go online since covid started.

Probably an easier question to answer if the purchase type and finance terms were specified. I only purchase car used. The first one from private seller so it was no warranty. The car I drove now had 30 days warranty and it was back in March when our state got locked down so I probably drove 30...

Not really worth it. All you get is the direct access to the spare wheel hole. Removing the spare tire will give more space but then you will need a tire plug kit because murphy's law will make you need the spare on your first trip without it.

Perhaps an endoscope (search for it on eBay. Likely need an OTG cable to work on an Android phone) will help seeing the thing that makes the noise. Otherwise a dash teardown maybe needed to get to the bottom of it.

If your goal is to have rearview camera, offline GPS navigation, bluetooth, the ability to install and run Android apps, a $60 eBay 7" unit would do just fine and it will not attract unwanted attention. If you are handy you can install it with the rear cam for total cost under $120 (unit, rear...

I think the culture of having pride in the work is an important factor behind the Toyota reliability reputation. They are playing the long term game. They make gradual changes to improve the quality and pay attention to details and complaints. It does not matter where the car is built. The...

In case you haven't replaced the gas cap, you may wish to do that because the faulty cap can also screw up the pressure in the system and trigger codes.

Get a light box and start tracing the comics you like to learn the style is what I am doing. I may start taking some courses to learn more about human body drawing technique and the various skills but recreating manga character poses (like the one from posters or covers) gave me lots of...

Brand loyalty is similar to cult following or religion. Trying to explain it with empiracal evidence will not get far. Brand loyalty is really based on human emotion and psychology. Knowing that each brand, each model, and each model year has its own uniqueness and choose one based on large...

JD Power is a marketing company ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.D._Power ). Their list of ranks from the study is ordered based on the amount of "donations" they receives from each car manufacturer. That being said, I don't know the deal with Chrysler on CR's top of the list either. They only...

Bioinformatician for a cloud computing company. Luckily the business of the company is going up during COVID but I started to feel burning out after 1.5 years.

The powertrain used in the 2013 mazda 5 started in 2008 Mazda 3, while 2019 Grand Caravan was based on the 2017 generation. The fuel-saving technology in these 10 years will need to be taken into consideration. Also is it possible that the fuel economy readings are taken doing one car in one...

Check the negative wire from the battery to the engine, transmission, and the frame.

Please redirect your question to the vender for any form of guarantee. I am just a user and the old model has worked for me in the past. I am just waiting for the blank keys and chips to be delivered to try it on my new Mazda 5.

Did you specifically looked for those model years? It's only been 18 years since 2002 and that makes it 2.2 years avg. ownership for each car. I owned my first car from 2002 to 2017 so maybe I have trouble letting go..
