Correct, I took full comprehensive coverage off of it because I felt stupid paying for it all these years and it is literally just sitting in the driveway waiting on a title and me to fix some things to make it easier to sell.

Given how cheap it usually is and how much damage comprehensive actually covers its silly to not carry comprehensive. My wife and I both drive cars that are 10+ years old and have over 150k on the OD, but it literally costs $10/month for $500 deductible/$0 glass comprehensive coverage on both.

Not sure if its still the case but when I bought a top loading HE in late 2013 the front loaders had a $150+ premium when compared against a top loader with similar features.

Also for US vs UK/Europe, isn't it fairly common in Europe to have your washer/dryer under a counter in the kitchen or bathroom (in which case a top loader wouldn't work)? In the US the norm is to have a dedicated laundry room or put your washer/dryer in an unfinished part of the basement.

Lesson learned, just buy new control arms next time.

Seconding this, I was going to do my ball joints in late March but for about double the cost of replacement ball joints I was able to buy a lower suspension rebuild kit from an Amazon vendor that included the entire control arm with ball joints and bushings plus swaybar endlinks and inner/outer tie rod ends. Cleaned up a nasty front-end shimmy I had for the past ~10k miles, I'm sure my swaybar links were nearing the end of their useful life and now I have spare tie rod ends when the time comes to replace them.

I think Optima batteries are dogshit now.

Hasn't this been the consensus since Optima/Johnson Controls shut down the US factory in 2009?
