I don't know who designed or makes these new 8 & 10 speed transmissions, but many cars are having issues with them. I just saw Ford was having trouble with these new transmissions.

I bought a brand new 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. It had their new 8 or 10 speed transmission. At about 15K miles the transmission started stuttering real bad. The first thing I did was I googled the issue and saw there was a GM service bulletin on it. I took the car in and the dealer fixed it. Then after another 10K miles it happened again. I took it into the dealer. The dealer said the mechanic thinks he fixed it, but he wasn't positive after a test drive. I ended up getting rid of the car.

Now I see this:

Does the 2019 Traverse have transmission problems?

Chevrolet has announced that 194105 vehicles have been affected by a Transmission recall.
 
I read somewhere the Ford and GM codeveloped the 10 gear transmissions. I have one in my truck, so I hope it isn't garbage. I have 70,000 or so miles left on the warranty, but I don't want the hassle.
 
I got these at Walmart to store can goods on the truck

I had to buy a new battery for my 36" Grandstand mower yesterday. It had been a bit slow at turning the engine over for a couple of weeks. I have no idea how old the battery was. The metal surround to protect the battery was rusted solid and took considerable effort to free up so the battery could be replaced.
 
Some stuff animals I have picked up for the daughter.

Random items I found on clearance at Walmart :thumbsupdroid:. The SD cards were only $4 probably should have gotten more but I was trying to keep the spending below $100. I think I kept it under $80:D

I have been working on not buying things I know I have multiple pairs of on the truck. For example I was going to buy deodorant this morning and I knew I already had it, most times I am just to lazy to look for stuff, not today :D :thumbsupdroid:

Least you are carefully budgetting everything, currently down to about a dollar in change hahahaaa... :)
 
After years of faithful service, my Bose QC earbuds quit. I'm spoiled to the heavy bass of the Bose and very spoiled to years trouble free use so I purchased another pair. I replaced the old with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. I haven't worked with them yet but I think they will serve me well. I really enjoy the noise cancelling tech.
 
Radiator for the new car. Was going down the highway last week and the temperature lite came on with an annoying bell alert. Seems the plastic tank, (upper) on the drivers side cracked and was letting all the coolant out. It is supposed to be here today.

It's always such a pleasure to spend one's money on something they didn't want and didn't anticipate buying. It's like a game show in reverse, here is what you get to buy next behind curtain #3.
