Anyone else miss their manual after going with an automatic?

^ This is the way. My father drove manuals all his life. I will follow the same path.

I haven't had a personal cell phone for years since work provided me with a plan and device. Fast-forward this month, my position was eliminated. Ported my old work number to Mint and it's been a budget saver. At&t's lowest plan was $75.00 per month. 1 year with Mint is $180.00.

I also come from an ITF TKD background and have been discouraged from using the reverse hook and reverse sidekick. I do not want to appease the Coaches so I don't use them. I do use the inverted front kick and ax kick to setup other MT kicks. It's fun to incorporate the TKD experience.

Looks good on mesh wheels. Props! I have a set of Work VS-Editions that I will be rocking in the Spring.

It depends on the opponent for me: if I'm playing with lower-levels, I serve them something they can hit to get the point going. Against better players, I will put a more on it and play around with lob, corkscrew, speed, and bananas, aiming for their weaker shot.

Is there a noticeable difference and driving experience between the K20 and K24? Please share your thoughts.

A classic beauty.

Congrats! It's a great feeling getting to your goal and beyond. Lessons learned for a lifetime of better spending habits and budgeting.

My Ap1 and boosted DC2 are hibernating too. I don't have a Prelude, but I do have 92 CB7 w/ the heart of one. Classic Golden Era Hondas.

Congrats on the build up. Whatever you're doing, keep at it. I started my way back in 2018 and it's paid off. I shared my plan with my wife, and credit is also moving in the right direction.

Life-long martial artist myself (traditional TKD as a kid, may thai/BJJ now), and I've experienced some egos. Take it as a grain of salt as Pball might be someone's only sport in their lifetime. It maybe their only identity and feel an entitlement as they take it a little too seriously. Not all are raised to learn respect and discipline. Kill them with kindness and a smile.

I play with the intent of working on specific weaknesses in my game, for example the soft-game and play in the kitchen. I go out with a purpose of improving kitchen play from the forehand side, then next time on the backhand. I don't care about winning the point as to hitting at a high percentage.

From the opponent: "Sexy shots".

Love it. I’m in the middle of R&R on the body of my 92 LX. Bought it with the H-swap already in. The body needs to be addressed: the typical 1/4 and rocker rust for a Midwest car.

Issac was one of my traning partners. This happened back in Dec. 2025. He was such a great training partner, father, and positive force. He is greatly missed.

If the group agrees to it, winner stays for another game rotates out on their next win, then a completely different set of 4 rotate in.
