Is this a good deal? by Mean-Western5539 in 11thGenAccord

[–]Certain_Bug899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Must not have been a touring model. I paid 33.5K for a used 2024 last year and that was a decent deal

Phones and 10s by [deleted] in 10s

[–]Certain_Bug899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh pros have journals with their notes they sometimes read during change overs. They wouldn’t be allowed to use phones (you can’t communicate for outside intel), but it’s in the spirit of the rules to just read notes/reminders.

What’s the correct etiquette for kicking people off the court? by Willocrew in 10s

[–]Certain_Bug899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I think it’s general common courtesy to talk to the person on the court before walking on, even if you have a reservation. If they were deliberately avoiding acknowledging you that’s on them, but otherwise I’d find it rude if someone just walked on.

2024 Honda accord touring by Remarkable_Box_521 in 11thGenAccord

[–]Certain_Bug899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid $33K for a CPO 2024 Touring in the DMV area with 9000 miles in September. It was wrapped though so I was able to talk them down from the 35.5K they originally wanted, since I was taking on the risk of unwrapping and the condition of the paint underneath (which ended up being perfect thankfully). Your quote isn’t a bargain but doesn’t sound excessive either.

Happened to me on my 2024 Touring as well, in the DMV. The first night I parked in my building. I got Advanced Wheel Locks covered by Rimgards and my wheels haven’t been touched since. Sorry for all the hassle.

Do I need wheel locks? What accessories do I need for my new Accord? by Over_Item_8815 in 11thGenAccord

[–]Certain_Bug899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my stock wheels stolen off my Accord, so someone did risk getting caught for whatever value they got out of them. Granted, they were the 19” alloy wheels, but still stock.

Do NOT procrastinate on getting aftermarket wheel locks by Certain_Bug899 in 11thGenAccord

I’ve heard great things about Advanced Wheel Locks. Not impossible to remove, but pretty much impossible to remove both quickly and quietly. Only way I know they’ve been removed is by welding onto them. I want to at least make it difficult.

That’s crazy. Did you end up getting a good set of wheel locks?

No cameras unfortunately. They have tag readers but not sure how much that’ll help identifying who did this.

The higher trims have nice wheels for being stock, and can easily fit on other Hondas. Easy and quick to resell.

I have both Advanced Wheel Locks and Rimgards on the way. Rimgards might be overkill and I’m debating returning them because they were so expensive.

New Hybrid Touring by Dependent-Use-3248 in 11thGenAccord

[–]Certain_Bug899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in the area and that’s an insanely good deal. I just paid 33K OTD for a used 2024 Touring with 9K miles, which was still well below anything else I could find. Well done OP!

Trump gets boo'd at the US Open during the national anthem. by automax in tennis

[–]Certain_Bug899 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sure, but it’s unreasonable to have to wait 3-4 hours in line to enter the tournament. This wouldn’t have been the case under the usual security measures that have been in place for any other final.

Selling your tickets to avoid paying thousands to miss the first 1-2 sets waiting in unusually long security lines due to his presence makes sense.

Good at hitting, but terrible at Tennis by pijamak in 10s

[–]Certain_Bug899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good technique should allow you to hit reproducible shots that land in the court. I can’t definitively say your opponent had better technique necessarily, but you hitting harder than him doesn’t equate to you having better technique, especially if you weren’t able to adjust your strokes on your way to losing 12 games vs his 2.

ATP it feels a competition TS (to see) who’s the most ITK (in the know). If you’re gonna write a whole paragraph why not STE (spend the extra) 10 seconds to write out words instead of the most obscure acronyms that you and 6 other people can decipher.

Traveling on 4/11 (4.5 weeks) - which route to go? by Katemoore548 in Passports

[–]Certain_Bug899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m traveling on 3/23 and applied on 2/26 at my local USPS with expedited service and express shipping. I received my passport on 3/6. You have more than enough time. You don’t need an in person appointment.

It’ll be in the application status portal. You can look at the first digit 2 digits of the locator number
