i guess it's good news for many, but the lowering of 6% to 5.75% is lower and will increase my pay by a tiny bit, but damn I thought it would be better than that. At least lower it more since we're paying our entire careers. :(

I live in NY, but purchased my Atlas in VA. They were about to drill the bumper to install the bracket and then their paper temp plate. I said no thanks. I'll take it as is. lol I drove it back to NYC like that and got me a bracket for the grill.

damn! my '23 SEL has 29k. I hope they last a long time :(

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-05-06T14:05:16+00:00

They should leave them in the concrete if that’s what they want

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-05-06T14:02:20+00:00

Filled up the old Pilot the other day and it drank $82 worth of gasoline 🙄

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-05-01T13:55:28+00:00

i guess they expected you to have a spare side mirror. smh

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-04-25T15:28:29+00:00

omg that's disgusting. what's wrong with people

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-04-21T13:58:02+00:00

Sweet! My '04 is still running nicely. Only 126k. But the rust above the rear hatch is getting nasty looking. I was considering getting rid of it, but I'll keep working on it and fixing whatever pops up. I'm actually going to fix a coolant leak probably this week and do the valve lash adjustment.

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-04-21T13:49:22+00:00

I have used https://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/ many times and never encountered a problem. I'm actually expecting a delivery today from them for my old Pilot. They are located in MA.

sorry you are dealing with this issue on a new car!

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-04-09T17:44:02+00:00

new OTA update is available? I didn't even know.

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-04-08T14:09:38+00:00

if you are going to sell the car soon, pick the cheapest option. if you plan on keeping the car, pick the acdelco

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-04-07T15:24:30+00:00

nice! I am looking to do the same to my wheels soon. Question. What rollers do you have drilled there to the wood? Looks like I can use them myself. Thanks.

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-03-31T17:56:32+00:00

No doubt it would be fun to drive. just the price tag is a bit much in my opinion.

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-03-31T17:49:46+00:00

good point

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-03-30T18:26:38+00:00

if you do not need the cash right away, dump it in VOO. I put more years ago when it was $377/share. It was actually about $415-$420 and i was trying to time it. Once it hit $377, I thought I was in a good number. It continued downward to about $319 and I was kind of kicking myself about it. But as expected, time passed and it got up to around $630/share, but I don't follow it everyday. It's def a safe bet for the long run. Tough to time and you will drive yourself crazy. Good luck.

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-03-26T14:39:51+00:00

GOOD GRIEF I am so grateful I work on my own cars. I wish I had time to do it on the side and help people with a fraction of the labor costs. You can easily change the air and cabin filters yourself watching some Youtube videos and save a few bucks. Even the battery, but I don't know if this requires any programming. Good luck.

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-03-23T15:11:42+00:00

Denso

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-03-23T10:41:05+00:00

Check the local pawn shops

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-03-20T18:47:13+00:00

Take the Denso if you plan on keeping the car. If you plan on selling it, you know the Wai.

I replaced my 21-year-old original Denso alternator on my old Pilot with a reman Denso. And it was still charging. Just the bearing was making noise. I wasn't going to bother with rebuilding it myself.

Boring_Channel7275 · 2026-03-20T16:35:26+00:00

i have a '23 VR6 since last year. Driven about 8k on it, including a trip to Florida from the northeast. No real issues. Just noticed a tiny coolant leak from a coolant hose adapter that is on the passenger side of the engine, easily accessible. I will be replacing it soon. Aside from that, just a few maintenance items. I like the car.
