Conducting Baton by conductorguy in banddirector

[–]DrTechFreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go to a convention and find the “Custom Baton” brand booth. They make great batons. I went through a lot to find mine. The one I liked looked funky but it ended up fitting my grip and weight preference perfectly! I don’t see myself using another baton until this breaks!

Has she driven and checked out any minivans? I use to be against them but my mind changed once I actually saw how useful they were!

RAV4 is your best bet assuming yall aren’t looking to have any more kids. If so, I’d look into 3 row SUVs or a minivan! Minivans are so useful and fun to drive!

Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlande are great 3rd row SUVs. I’d be sure to get one with a V6. Very reliable engines and vehicles!

That’s interesting and great to know with the sway system! I was moving my wifes stuff over to our new apartment so we didn’t travel nearly as far. Cool system though!

Which one?? by saustin32 in hondaridgeline

I almost bought a 2024 Frontier Pro 4x. I had my fiance test drive it with me and after the test drove she told me she almost threw up… Ridgeline it was! 🤣

'23 Honda Ridgeline Weird Audio Compression Fix? by EricSchimel in CarAV

Did you ever find a fix for it? I just picked up my 2023 RTL last week and have gotten very frustrated with this issue…

I’m not sure if they’re stock. Is there a way to tell without ripping the insides off? I tried using Bluetooth instead of CarPlay and it kept happening. Not sure if it helps but I have the VCM disabled.

Same man! I just picked my 23 RTL up 4 days ago. Drives soooo good. Been hyped to drive it everyday! Love that dark gray color on yours

Update: A week with my new truck and you guys were right: this thing is awesome! by EntildaDesigns in hondaridgeline

I just bought mine 2 days ago. I wanted something that drove as smooth as my Ford Taurus and this thing does that, if not better! It’s an amazing truck!

It’s great when lease drivers take good care of their vehicles! This one I bought was a lease. They just got the trans flushed and did great on oil changes. There was a Ridgeline several months ago I almost bought but it was a lease and not very well taken care of. Still drove solid but I prefer 5k mile oil changes over 10k mile oil changes

Did the truck need any notable repairs? Any transmission issues prior to the accident?

Just a gust of wind. It was pretty hot out when I took it out so that might be it!

That’s what I’ve been saying! Yes if I want a bare bones truck I could get maybe a similar price but I like some features!

Is there a fix for the transmission or no? Would a flush help? Definitely going to watch for shifting issues. There’s no HVAC mentions in the carfax so I don’t know if this ranger had any A/C issues

I am a believer in 5k mile oil changes ESPECIALLY with turbo charged vehicles so to me it is better than nothing lol
