  1. Meet the 24-year-old who’s tracking every broken McDonald’s ice-cream machine in the US
    Initially, he created an API that attempted to add a McSundae from every McDonald’s location to its cart once every minute. The app figured out what he was up to and blocked him — “It was like, you can’t do this, you look like a bot,” he recalled.

    After a night of trial and error, Zahid figured out the magic time frame. Now, his bot attempts to add a McSundae every 30 minutes. If the bot successfully adds the item, it lets McBroken know that the location’s machine is working. If it can’t, the location gets a red dot.

    I have a pre-owned 09 Civic that unfortunately has not held up as well as others. Had engine trouble the first year I bought it. Engine mount had to be replaced multiple times. A/C no longer works. Granted, I drove the shit out of it the past five years (It has 220k miles on it). My mechanic suggested I trade it soon before it completely dies, so I’m paying attention to these car suggestions.

    One thing I've learned is that Nissans just don't seem to be built as well as they used to be. Loved mine from the 90s, so my fiance got a 2014 Rogue, and oooh boy. It's been in the shop several times within 2 years, the AC gets frozen solid after driving for 15 minutes so no air comes out of the vents at all until you shut it off and wait another 15 minutes for it to melt, and I learned that they are notorious for VVT transmission problems that just drop out of the car around 80-100k miles

    Yeah I'm thinking it's mostly their cars with the VVT transmissions from what I've read

    I've only ever driven Subarus my whole life and this is the first time I've switched. Right now we have a VW Jetta sedan and a VW Jetta wagon and I love them both, but I do really miss my AWD. I reeeeally wanted a CrossTrek but couldn't find one in my budget.

    Side-note: my dad had a Nissan Maxima in probably like 97 or 98 and that thing had a ROCKET engine but was also built like a damn tank. Amazing car. Had to have 200,000+ miles when he got rid of it because we all drove that thing for a long time.

    I bought a pre-owned 2013 civic in 2017, was working perfectly until I hit a deer on the highway, was declared a total lost :(

    I bought a new 2 door civic in 2015 and totaled it in 2017. I loved that car. I bought a used 2013 civic after and plan on driving it until it dies.
