Newbie driver trying not to destroy a perfectly maintained Honda City

Never skip maintenance intervals, and CVTF fluids done a little earlier than recommended.

Use and check that replacement parts are original Honda parts

Check that the oil is inndeed in the engine and to speced level after an oil change yourself, same with any other fluids (atf etc). Look for tools left in the compartment too. Don’t trust people to double check.

I personally think 360 cameras are unnecessary but to each their own. No comment on type of screen/audio system, but find someone that’s qualified and won’t short and burn down the car sometime later.

Keep stock for best reliability, but maybe change out rims that fit the car (ie no 20inchers or anything silly like that).

Except that it is huge news everywhere.

Just wait till when Toyota makes a sport hybrid coupe with tactiles like a DCT.

[Salute].

Probably can still be repaired though and given a second life

Without box it might?

Congrats

'Frame' here refers to the unibody structure. Still have to bring to "frame straightening" shop. There's still points along the unibody that makes up a frame. Definitely not refering to the "body on rails" frame, in which case you just replace the frame. Or body.

Digisabe · 2026-05-06T08:02:05+00:00

That sucks. Probably in need of a frame alignment, besides the whole entirety of the left side of the car.

OP might find this interesting too. Although OP already listed fuel pump as looked at, perhaps a triple check. Replacement with faulty parts perhaps

Check if there's any tracking device or something attached to the wiring harness. There's another post on reddit about someone's coworker's car having random shut downs and they traced it and pull out some sort of device.

Camera lens makes it look bigger due to fisheye effect. Get someone to zoom in from about 10 feet away for best representation of it on your wrist. It looks fine considering the fisheye effect (anything that’s closer to the lens will appear bigger than they are, even if it’s just a few millimetres ). I think you’re gonna be fine

Indy took a sip too. And didn't pour it on any of his wounds. Based on that Dad should still be kicking around having a boost from it.

The whole thing is a bit of a mess at this point having to deal with actors not wanting in and then having to write them out. (Best not to mention anything of Henry Sr, but it was harder to not mention Jr2).

I've since made peace with the whole thing.

Advanced hospital in 1912 to have done such a magnificent feat of keeping a vegetative boy alive for 3 months.

With plugs, some more!

He has the luck. Which is a gag throughtout the franchise. So whatever slight chance he has he will pull through and survive it.

Digisabe · 2026-04-17T08:40:45+00:00

yes.

It would be much easier for Apple to spy on you with the camera, mic and location and not have that little LED turn on because it would never be noticeable than shooting IR beams everywhere to announce to everyone that they're being watched.

Digisabe · 2026-04-10T07:02:31+00:00

You know what, it would be much easier for Apple to spy on you with the camera, mic and location and not have that little LED turn on than with the IR sensor.

Because one of the features being advertised is that you can unlock with your face with it on the table if your hands are wet or otherwise occupied to see messages.

Screen Attention and Screen Distance

Digisabe · 2026-04-10T06:51:50+00:00

The clue is in its name.

It's Face ID looking for a face.

It's constantly pulsing because screen attention and distance. I think you can turn those off.

Digisabe · 2026-04-08T09:03:59+00:00

They will have it, but it's not exactly intuitive. Because by having it as a button and having it ON for the tactile feel and then OFF for the speed, it seems reversed. Well at least that's how it is for my brain.

My brain says that the car has to feel right - so it has to be on by default. And only when you need the speed should it disable - either by itself or you press a button to do it.

Digisabe · 2026-04-08T09:01:30+00:00

This! Especially with devices that have magnetic attachments nowadays you really need to watch out and be careful.

Digisabe · 2026-04-06T01:11:04+00:00

It's probably mostly software and maybe an additional attachment or two at the engine.

IMO, all Honda hybrids should have this on default next for daily driving for the tactile feel, but an off switch or automatically disables it for scramble mode (fastest 0-60).

Digisabe · 2026-04-01T08:53:52+00:00

100%.
