It's not a company car. It's the vehicle I use to drive 35k miles a year for work

Obviously the manual isn't what I needed bc I would have spent over $1000 on stuff that I didn't need to do.

If I followed the manual, I would have changed spark plugs 4 times already, brakes twice, belts twice, and transmission fluid a long time ago. Those manuals are way overkill

It's free so why not? Lifetime alignment was like $140

Should I be doing anything else for my car?

Figured more ppl on the OB know about car maintenance than the OTers.

2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0L Turbo (work car, inb4 lol Hyundai)
121,000 miles

Oil change every 5k miles
Change engine and cabin air filters when dirty
Changed stock tires at 80k miles
Changed stock spark plugs at 105k miles
Had to get a new battery at 40k miles
Alignment and rotation at every oil change

Never had any issues with anything else so I haven't touched any other parts. What should I look at doing?
Transmission fluid? Belts? Brakes?

Cover me. I'm shooting every monkey on the northshore I see.

Luckily there aren't too many on the Northshore....

Because the primate center is the only location of course.

IXC - 3.3% yield with 93 total companies (global picture) XLE- 2.4% yield with 44 companies (domestic picture) IYE- 2.15% yield with 94 companies (domestic) VDE- 2.1% yield with 164 companies (domestic) If I go the route of an etf, I will likely jump into IXC. A 3.3% yield in an etf is crazy

I'm curious as to why would IXC not be a no brainer in that situation? If I plan to buy/hold for 30 years reinvesting dividends, IXC is already a better divvy number than XoM

My fault, edited the OP

Thought I included that, forgot to put it in the OP- 25 yrs old

Which of these Vanguard funds should I go with?

Posted by CrackingCodes on 12/26/14 at 10:32 am

25 years old, I just opened a Vanguard Roth IRA. Starting on Jan 1, I plan to have an auto withdrawal of $455/month to go to whichever fund I end up choosing.

I've narrowed down my choices to:

VTSMX (Total stock market fund)
VFINX (Vanguard 500 Index)
VLACX (Large Cap Index)

Which would you roll with for someone my age, and is there really any big difference between the others?

Official Oil/Energy ETF Thread

Posted by CrackingCodes on 12/15/14 at 3:15 pm

Figured now would be a good time to have a thread dedicated to oil as energy ETF discussions.

Which so you consider the best? Pros/cons of the popular ones?

VDE
XLE
OIL

List which ones you like, prefer, dislike, over/underrated, etc

CVX at a 4.5% yield is when I jump in

re: Time to buy some XOM(Oil stock discussions)?

Posted by CrackingCodes on 12/15/14 at 1:48 pm to bayoubengals88

I'm looking at XLE- 2.4% yield right now. Hard to pass on COP at high 4s and CVX at low/mid 4s though. That big difference is holding me back from jumping into fund.
