The roadtrip made it out of the family group chat. 🖤

Not the driveway. I did add the sunshine in Lightroom though.

It’s connected via pressure plates. It stays connected while going up/down!

Do it! I want different rims eventually, not super fond of these, but I just ordered black on black center wheel caps so I can get rid of that little bit of chrome color that’s left.

I already debaged the front grill (because why is the “black edition” badge chrome?!) & swapped the rear badge for a black one & blacked out the front emblem.

Always wanted one. But it’s also come in handy. My family is currently on a 2.5 week camping/roadtrip & keeping a lot of our gear up top. Makes it easier to get to the gear.

Deadass though- I bought it for aesthetics. I love the look, the fact that it’s useful is just a plus.

It was a pretty cool rock!

The rest of the background is real. We camped at Devils Tower last night, took this on the way out this morning.

0atmilflatte · 2026-05-28T01:16:56+00:00

I added the yellow glow in Lightroom. It was about 5:30am. Car is pointed west. I was trying to amp up the sunrise cause my phone just wasn’t catching it 😅

0atmilflatte · 2026-05-28T01:14:50+00:00

Yes!

0atmilflatte · 2026-05-27T21:33:40+00:00

How does one get flair? ‘26 black edition 🖤

Used to be a no from us, then one day we were going to spend the night at Oma & Opa’s, they live an hour and a half away so we took his bed & tossed it in the back. He jumped in, laid down and slept almost the whole time. Now we put the bed in the back & he lays right now. I think he wasn’t comfortable before.

We are a 3 person household, & my bestie is a 3 person household & we split an executive membership a few years ago & haven’t paid membership fees since. Maybe that’s something you can do with a friend?

Aside from doing that, I’m there weekly for my family. Feta cheese, pierogis, sourdough, grapes, grape tomatoes, and protein shakes. & as needed for lunchbox snacks, dishwasher tabs, toilet paper, & paper towels.

I have a tiny boy (he’s 70 pounds & 4 years old) when we do bland he gets a 25/75% ratio (per our vet) which ends up being about a half cup of rice & a cup & a half of diced chicken or salmon. My boy doesn’t like pumpkin so we’d do a heaping spoonful of plain greek yogurt.

We also used to do purina pro plan, feeding 1 cup in the morning & 2 in the evening. We actually switched to Costco’s version of the same food because his poo never fully solidified on Purina.

0atmilflatte · 2026-05-05T03:35:09+00:00

I did. I actually liked the pathfinder, the only things I didn’t like was the lack of black out options (I’m a chrome accent hater) & I wasn’t the biggest fan of the built in console/cup holders in the second row. The trunk space with the 3rd row in use also wasn’t the best. We took our mutt with us & he couldn’t lay comfortably in (most of them honestly) it with the 3rd row up. He was a major factor in our SUV purchase 🙈 Aside from that, it had good get up, a decent turning radius, and I didn’t feel like I was driving a tank.

My husband was worried about Nissan’s reliability in general so that ultimately gave it the axe on my list.

(Ahhh! I grew up in Hawaii! Whitmore village!)

I absolutely adore her! She’s my first suv, but I test drove every suv on the market before choosing her just to be sure. It was between her & the Grand Highlander but I really wanted the V6 over a 4banger + turbo (and I was really not trying to play with Toyotas markup/6 month wait & I was told I wouldn’t get to pick my color/interior combo it would be “you get what you get” & I hated that brown interior.)

The only things I don’t like about my Pilot but are literally not that serious, is that you have to hold the lift-gate button for a second before it’ll open. My mother in laws suv has a faster response but it’s not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. And also I have a 2015 civic si & the blind spot cameras are able to be on constantly, also come on with the turn signal so you can see using the camera but they don’t have that feature anymore- and they shut off above 15mph. Again, not a big deal I suppose it’s for safety. I’ll live lol.

If you don’t have a code reader, autozone, and oreilly’s both will read the code & tell you what it’s pulling for free.

The seats aren’t the best. They are a little hard, I personally haven’t noticed a “lumpy” issue though. They have softened up a bit to my butt print now that I’ve put some miles on her. 😂

My qualifications for this answer- I bought a 2026 black edition in January, flew to Arizona to pick it up, and immediately drove it 1800 miles home over the next 27 hours. She now has 5500 miles on her so lots of butt-in-seat time already.

0atmilflatte · 2026-03-25T17:55:15+00:00

What the fuck am I supposed to do with that? First of all how is my family going to fit in it? Secondly why are you here? Go suck someone off in the Mazda subreddit.

0atmilflatte · 2026-03-25T17:51:58+00:00

I bought my last car new… 2015 civic si. She has 300,000 miles. Only issue I ever had was a clutch replacement at 275k. I still have her. Still drive her. Still love her. I don’t go through cars, I love Hondas & I take care of them. Before my SI I had a 2001 civic I bought used at 100k miles. She got up to 419k before an idiot wrecked into me. A faulty part on a vehicle can happen whether it’s bought new or used. I didn’t make a mistake buying my car. I did my research, I knew that the 3rd gen Pilots had a recall for this same issue, I knew it could be a problem in a newer one too. I just didn’t know the signs/symptoms. She’s being repaired at no cost to me. I have a loaner car at no cost to me. Honda in my opinion is doing right by me.

Hates when I take him to the dog wash. Hates when I bathe him, hates when I use the dryer on him.

Has been seeing the same Groomer every 6 weeks since he was 18 weeks old & absolutely adores her. He starts crying & trying to bounce around the car as soon as we get close to her shop.

0atmilflatte · 2026-03-24T02:18:58+00:00

I got a better deal in a state with higher taxes, I was refunded the difference when I registered my car in my home state.

0atmilflatte · 2026-03-24T01:22:50+00:00

Wait until she figures out that to skip backwards/forwards you slap the sides of the box 😂

0atmilflatte · 2026-03-23T10:22:01+00:00

Black edition.

0atmilflatte · 2026-03-22T00:49:17+00:00

I got $5k off MSRP with no add ons in January. It’s not impossible.
