For me it was “buy high quality pillow” because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was … ok. Like it’s a fine pillow but my sleeping haven’t improved really, it’s basically the same. So I was disapointed :(

So, which life pro tip disappointed you?

Just buy a Honda or Toyota, and all you have to do is change the oil.

and brake fluid. And Transmission fluid. And refresh your suspension once it’s a goner.

You can definitely take a Toyota to like 250k miles w/o changing transmission fluid. I think they call it a lifetime fluid, as in it’s meant to last the whole designed-for lifespan of the car.

But if you want it running it’s best, for as long as possible, then of course, change those fluids too.

I’ve replaced the engine in an '06 Civic Si after the timing chain lifter tensioner failed, the timing skipped, and the valves kissed the pistons.

It also ended up having some pretty gnarly electrical issues.

I know just enough about engines for “valves kissed the pistons” to make me laugh in horror.
