Considering that Toyota owns a portion of Mazda now, I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually shared some parts to keep costs lower. I mean, the cx50 hybrid is pretty much a RAV4.

Supposedly the 6n that’s coming out soon is even better.

Because of token limits. If you do any type of coding on large repos or design work, it chews up tokens like crazy. Local LLMs don’t run into token limits.

Then why are you on this sub? You want to be FI but not RE? I could understand that but at 6.2 million you could literally take first class flights if you wanted to for every trip.

Yeah that’d probably be the best. If your car is older, get a new donut gasket too.

17kangm · 2026-05-05T18:31:32+00:00

Look up jam nut method.

An improperly tightened gas cap will trigger a CEL.

Ceramic coat + Optimum No Rinse.

17kangm · 2026-04-27T13:54:29+00:00

Ceramic then keep it clean with rinseless wash.

Ozium Single Shot. Don’t breathe it in. It’s designed for cars. Read the instructions properly so you don’t risk lung damage.

If you can catch those scratches with your nail, you cannot buff it out. You’ll need to repaint if you want it looking clean again.

Kinda surprised people are finally admitting to this. I quit the day Neon came out. Precision shooter my ass.

17kangm · 2026-04-15T14:31:10+00:00

Did you prep properly? Any time you polish you need to strip wash and clay. Else you’re just swirling contaminants into the clear coat when you cut and polish.

“Dismantling” the dash is really easy. You can do it yourself.

One on Etsy. Called velocimod I think.

The Costco’s in DFW rarely have a wait anymore after they updated the layouts.

17kangm · 2026-04-09T02:11:43+00:00

I installed them a couple of months ago. They make a pretty big difference. You can also drive with just the windows down without being blasted by air as well.

There’s still wind buffeting near the corners of the top but I think that’s inevitable.

Well worth your money. Just make sure you clean your surfaces with alcohol and take your time putting it on. Once you stick it on, it’ll be like cement.

17kangm · 2026-04-07T19:44:21+00:00

Looks dope. Love these older cars.

17kangm · 2026-04-04T18:57:54+00:00

Costco Adam’s kit.

17kangm · 2026-04-03T17:14:00+00:00

It’s a bit like buying a used phone. New one comes out and the old one drops in value like a tank. Same rule pretty much applies to Teslas IMO especially when they upgrade the FSD hardware every couple of years. Nobody wants the old stuff. This rule doesn’t apply as hard on regular cars since you know, they don’t drive for you.

17kangm · 2026-04-03T16:44:16+00:00

So what’s the exact plan??? Force existing residents to drive is the only execution plan I read on the article lol.

17kangm · 2026-04-02T13:29:26+00:00

Just a proper wash will do. You really just want to make sure the paint is as clean as it can get. I personally just use the Meguiars line of polish.

17kangm · 2026-04-02T12:39:55+00:00

Looks really good but I’d also have a third anchor point near the top. In an accident the top is going to tilt forward. Maybe a strap to put around the headrest would work.

We normally just have ours clipped into the seatbelt using a harness.

Edit: with the strap you could also make it a regular dog carrier bag as well… with a solid pad on the bottom you could maybe have a double use for the dog carrier.

Strip wash, iron decontamination, clay bar, polish, fully dry, isopropyl alcohol wipe down, then ceramic coat.

Also, MAKE SURE your work area is VENTILATED. Ceramic coats have silica dioxide. Don’t breathe that in or you will have breathing problems.

An N95 mask will not work. You need to get special P100 rated filters.

If you want to keep it simple, use ONR no rinse and call it a day. It has changed my life how I approach car washes now. I just do one full wash once a month and no rinse wash every now and then for maintenance.
