[font="Titillium Web", sans-serif]not much about myself - I'm 18 years old and I like cars. My first car was a 1995 TrailBlazer.[/font]

Mine was a Honda Fit 2006. Died horribly in a car crash back in 2014. T_T

My first car was a 1998 honda civic. great car in my opinion. I changed this car to a new one a long time ago, now I have a toyota camry 2020SE. I bought it with car shipping service in Japan. I have long been hesitant to buy a car this way. But after I came across this https://transportgator.com/auto-transport-companies/, I read a lot of interesting information related to this service. I'm very pleased with the quality of Japanese car assembly. In general, I'm satisfied with the purchase, even though it's not uncommon to remember my first car.

I don't think they made trailblazers in 95. Well not in the US they are just Blazer

Alright, if you have a Prius or other electric car, and the battery's going, don't go to just any old service center. Go to your car brand's service center. Yes, it will probably be more expensive. But non-brand service centers are going to use off-brand batteries, and those are really hit and miss. If you're going to replace your electric batteries, go with your brand's, otherwise there's no telling what you're going to get. And once you get new batteries your warranty is only good with the service center you got it at, and you're stuck with it.
Had a lot of problems with my car this year. 15 year old Prius. Got the batteries replaced (a mistake really, it cost more than the current value of the car) and those batteries started dying around 3 weeks after installation. Had to take it into the shop again. They finally got a replacement battery for it, and it's past the expiration date, couldn't install it. Had to get another one. That car was basically out of commission for a month. It's doing okay now, but time will tell.

I tell you now, I'm probably never gonna get a Chrysler again. My first car was a Sebring, and the thing overheated not once but twice on me within the first two weeks due to coolant system leaks. Supposedly it's kind of common with Chryslers if they start to get old, and it's enough to chase me away from the brand. Feel bad for hydroplaning it into a ditch, but to my credit it was raining so hard that my visibility was worse than when it gets foggy near the river just because it was raining so hard. It was not so fun.
My current car, a 2013 Hyundai Accent, is currently in the shop for the engine knock sensor. At least I hope it's just the sensor, if the engine is actually knocking then I'll have bigger issues to deal with instead, but I'm not going to risk the sensor being right when it comes to my engine without it being checked at the least.
Our old '95 Honda Odyssey is still kicking though. I'm still impressed by the sheer durability of that thing, even if the AC is almost impossible to really repair anymore. No sliding doors either, as a first year Odyssey it had normal swing doors like most other cars would, but it's still going on and on and on nonetheless.
