MODERATORS
Honda, Toyota, Mazda, (and maybe Mitsubishi) in that order.
I refuse to buy any other brand of vehicle if I can avoid it.
This a result of growing up in shops, working on every brand available in the US, and a large family having owned or driven pretty much everything out there.
American and European cars are just garbage in comparison. Even Mitsubishi is better (and they were really diminished by the Chrysler merger).
Along with the car theme, Nokian tires if you live in a climate with real winter.
Milwaukee cordless tools, but only because I like their vast variety of tools that use the same battery. I've had other brands that have been fine (and I'm not nice to the tools): Dewalt (still have some 20-year old tools with Milwaukee adapters), the store brands from Home Depot and Lowes, etc.
Work clothes: Carhartt is really hard to beat, but Dickies are damn good too.
I loved my Honda, I loved my Toyota, and I currently LOOOOVE my Mitzu. Honda died of natural causes at 230k miles. Toyota was hit so hard his wheel fell off when my partner and I were drunk as hell… in our bedroom, playing games. He was parked outside on the street. I no longer do street parking.
Mitzu I’ve had for oh gawd, six years now. She’s killin it. Nicest car I’ve ever had, and she’s from 2015 so no spyware. Maybe 70k miles now. I hope I keep her forever.
Idk about Toyota now, I just got a new Toyota (a pretty expensive one 2x my last new car 10 yrs ago) and they are making some bad choices. Their infotainment system is terrible, their app is terrible and costs a monthly fee, Android auto drops all the time, and I've blown 2 fuses already doing pretty normal stuff.
