Hello thanks so much for reaching out to me. I still have this car 🚗 I have had a lot of cars and trucks in my 58 years. About 25 plus, most I purchased new. But this Optima SXL is my favorite, and I've kept it 8 years so far and plan to always have if possible. I have had all scheduled maintenance done, and I've had zero problems or issues with my car. I have around 23K miles on it. I live where I work, on top of Palomar Mountain, California. So I don't have to drive to work, but I do go about an hour to Escondido California and about 1.5 hours from San Diego. And I do love to drive my car. If you got the SXL model, I love it! Nappa leather and the 10 speaker Harmon Karman stereo is incredible. I mean these cars are loaded with options. But if your car was well serviced and maintained, and only 30K miles on it! That's a great car and will last you, many years. In 2016 I looked at every car in this class. I watched tons of RU-vid videos, and I'm so thankful I was able to get and keep this car. Please tell me what color you got, what model, SXL, SX, or EX or other. And what color interior? If you have any questions that come up, please let me know, I might be able to answer them. Since I have had my car for 8 years. Through Kia, I had the transmission fluid flushed, and the brake fluid replaced, power steering flushed and the radiator fluid flushed. And I had my car completely waxed and detailed. I get the oil changed every 6 months. I have a life time warranty on the compete engine and drive train, so I have to do the 6 months oil changes, which is OK and I get the tires rotated every other oil change. And that's all that I've had to do in 8 years. Oh yeah, one set of tires and brakes so far, but we do have the paved mountain roads. I also did replace my battery for the first time last year. And if you have the 2.0 turbo engine, that's fantastic as well, plenty of power. I also did a few years back, get the carbon removed from the fuel injectors. I hope this helps 🙏 Thanks again for your comments. Also the glass roof is awesome as well.

Thanks so much 🙏 these are really nice boots. I feel blessed to have them. I always feel a little special when I wear them. Jeans 👖 or Dockers, they go with a lot of different looks. Thanks for your comments 🙂 Joseph

Hey, thanks for watching my video. I'm glad you liked it. This was my 1st ever Pro authentic hockey jersey that I ever got. I still have it and cherish it. I cut the tags off and washed it once. I grew up loving hockey in the 80's and 90's. Especially Gretzky! Yeah the Black Gretzky Jersey you have is beautiful and definitely one of the baddest ever made. Funny thing is, I looked for that same jersey for years. About 2 years ago, I found one on Ebay. Brand new with tags, size 52. They were asking $700 dollars for it. I seriously seriously thought about it. I knew one like that NWT would probably never come up again. It was only on there for a few days, and then it sold. I haven't seen another one come up like that again. I have 11 authentic Pro Hockey Jersey's, I'm thankful for them, but the black jersey, with all of those patches is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing, it made my day, and gave me a smile. Cheers, and God Bless.

Thanks so much for the comment. I really appreciate it. 🙂

Thanks for your comments. To be honest I'm not sure. I know a lot of these jerseys were blanks, with no names or numbers on them. And then later people had the names and patches added. So that is one possibility as to why we have different style jerseys. But no matter what, your black jersey is beautiful. I have seen them go for $500 plus. I hope this helps, thanks again for reaching out.

@@finevideosbyjwb1886 Thanks man. I’m actually a Leafs fan but I love jerseys in general. This year Kings jersey is so nice and I have always wanted one and I’m happy to have one. Thing is, mine I bought on eBay and when I got it I saw it had a name plate and found out later this was wrong. So I’m gonna risk taking that off (the risks that there will be glue residue that will show on the white jersey) and having it re-crested. It just bugs me if it isn’t right. Have a good day

@@geoffy28 On my Channel I have a Maple Leafs Dave Andreychuk Jersey. It's the beautiful blue home Jersey. Mine has the 75th NHL anniversary patch. But it's not correct. At that time he actually played for the Buffalo Sabres. But it's still a beautiful Jersey, and I'd wear it any day. So honestly I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy the Jersey. I also have a Gretzky Edmonton Oilers blue and orange home Jersey. It's mostly correct, but it's got the NHL shield on the back right of the Jersey. And, I believe at that time, it wouldn't be there. If it were me, I'd leave the Jersey alone, and wouldn't risk messing it up. But Brother, it sounds like you have some really nice hockey Jerseys. On my Channel I have 11 authentic hockey jerseys. 10 CCM and 1 Pro Player, if you want to check them out. Thanks so much, I always enjoy talking to a hockey fan, from back in the day. Take and God Bless. Joseph

Your right, I checked it out. This jersey should not have had that patch added. It's too bad, it's otherwise a beautiful jersey. Thanks for your comments.

Hello I've also seen the Los Altos Caiman Belly Boots in a nice grey color. Also in black, and black cherry. Thanks for your comments. I hope this helps.

Oh yeah, also in brown as well. If you go onto Ebay, and type in the search bar: Los Altos Caiman Belly Boots. You might see some other colors as well. Thanks.

Hello thanks for reaching out. All is going really well. I've been working at a Christian Conference Center in Southern California for 10.5 years now. Yes I'm very Blessed with a second career, I was a Registered Nurse for 15 years in the Colorado Springs area. And I recently moved into a new house, so I will start making some more videos very soon. I'm thankful that you appreciate this humble channel. It has been a joy to make. Take care and thanks again for your kind words. God Bless.

I only have Star boots made in Mexico as well. But in the Star Python boots, I ware a size 12D. But in the Los Altos I'm a 13D. The best way to get your size boots, is to try them on. Some vendors provide free return shipping, if you exchange for a different size. On Ebay, a great vendor for cowboy boots, is Worldbootmart Thanks for your comments, I hope this helps. Joseph

Hello, I am wearing Wrangler Jeans. They are regular fit. Thanks so much for your comments, I really appreciate it. Joseph

I did keep it! 6 years now, it's a fantastic car, I must agree. Thanks for your comments. Joseph

It's a 52 which would be equivalent to a XXL

It's a size 52 which means it's a 2XL So basically if you wear a shirt 👕 in 2XL this is the size of the jersey. Size 48 is a XL, and so on. I hope this helps. Thanks for your comments. Joseph

Yes, for me I wear normally a 12D in Cowboy Boots. I ordered this size in a Los Altos Caiman Belly black boots. But they were too small and narrow for me. So I sent them back, and ended up getting this pair in a 13D and they fit perfectly. I also got a pair of Wild West Hornback Caiman boots, after this pair. They are made by Los Altos, so I got them in a 13D as well, and they also fit perfectly. I hope this helps. Thanks for your comments. I have other videos on my channel about my 5 pair of snakeskin and caimen boots, if you want to check them out. Thanks again, Joseph

Thanks so much for your comments. I love the Los Altos Black Caiman Belly Boots. Very nice choice. I do have some more cowboy boots videos coming. I have a better camera now, and I have some really great content coming. So be on the lookout, should be very soon. I think you'll like it. Thanks again, I really appreciate it. 🙏 God Bless. Joseph

@@finevideosbyjwb1886 godbless ya joseph, i’ll be looking forward to it :)

I use Bick products. I just use the Bick #4 for cleaning and conditioning. Put some Bick 4 on your hands ✋️ Rub it into all of the outside of your boots, and then wipe off the excess cream with a dry clean cloth. Like an old sock works great.

@@finevideosbyjwb1886 I like how clean yours look. I put some angelou for exotic skins on mine yesterday and they got a bit darker..how can i reverse that back ?

@@taxhero4614 I'm not sure? I only use the Bick 4 on mine, and they've never discolored. You can get it on Amazon. But I don't know how to reverse the darkened color? You could try the Bick 4 But I'm not sure?

@@finevideosbyjwb1886 Bick 4 for exotic skins or the regular?

@@taxhero4614 The regular Bick 4 leather conditioner in the brown bottle.

Yes D width.

how can i be sure mine are D?

@@taxhero4614 When you order your boots 👢 the sizing will say, for example, 12D or 12E or 12EE If you already have the boots there should be a size stamp somewhere inside of your boots. I hope this helps. Joseph

@@taxhero4614 Also I found that the Los Altos and Wild West boots run a full size too small. I normally wear a 12D in cowboy boots. But with these boots I did the 13D instead. Joseph

@@finevideosbyjwb1886 yes, i know. But , my boots just like yours...has a black box between the usa size and the mexican size INSIDE the boots...where in your boots says width D?

Yes they do.

@@finevideosbyjwb1886 thank you

After year 2015 Kia did a new 2.0 liter turbo. So year 2016 and newer, they didn't have those engine issues any longer. But Year's 2015 and older Kia had to replace a lot of motors under warranty. Which is 100K miles or 10 years. But Kia did stand behind their cars and warranties. I myself have had no issues at all with my car. I hope this helps. Thanks for your comments. Joseph

Thanks, I really appreciate 🙏 the comments. Very inspiring. I am doing well. Thanks again for your positivity. Stay Amazing! Joseph

It's still one of my favorites!
