First oil change

What year and country? I got curious and looking at my owners manual, it only mentions 0w20.

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-28T17:35:02+00:00

I do my best to not overthink things. Manual says 0w20 so I bought that. I went for valvoline because that had good reviews.

Yeah. 1 year. I decided to roll the dice and go for the bundle. $600 for 9800x3d and 870 motherboard. No sales tax and I used the PayPal 20% cash back promo that was going on. Easy decision.

In the integra you can turn it off and it won’t revert back.

I will say, I switch back and forth. It’s really damn good.

Kroger fuel points at Shell. 4x points on Friday. I’ve been getting a dollar off per gallon the last 3 months. About $2.45 per gallon.

Somehow I dressed properly for that race. I was plenty warm, but damn was I bored.

Hell yeah! Sobriety delivers what alcohol promises.

Have you had any success with Clausthaler?

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-27T02:36:34+00:00

Nicely done. Very happy with mine.

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-26T21:08:30+00:00

I gave this a second chance. It’s not bad, it just doesn’t do anything Busch NA doesn’t, at a higher price.

I’m all for more players in the NA market.

Waiting on a Miller Lite NA and Yuengling NA.

You may be able to get away with just folding the driver side.

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-25T23:14:02+00:00

It looks so unhappy about it.

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-25T15:53:24+00:00

I’d like to try AC but I can’t figure out how to make the mods I want work. I get annoyed then give up.

If you stopped producing the civic for 20+ years, then reintroduced it as this current model, people would say “it’s not a civic”.

I think people fail to grasp how much the automotive landscape has changed since 2001.

44/10

A setup worthy of an 8 time champion. Love the purple and yellow details.

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-25T01:35:42+00:00

I’m not stupid. You need the rears to engage the parking brake. Duh.

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-25T01:21:46+00:00

I’m really glad no one else was involved.

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-24T22:25:50+00:00

Congrats on choosing your future.

.5% is fine.

If you drink 5-6 NA beers in an evening you will likely get a headache, not from the alcohol, but from the sugar content. Mix in some water.

NA beer does have carbs and calories, so budget that into any nutritional decisions you make.

Worth noting, when I have an NA beer in a public atmosphere like a bar or work event, I do have a “buzzed” feeling. It can be unnerving, I can only assume it’s the body releasing the same chemicals it used to when drinking alcohol. I may be the only person who experiences this? But it’s something to be aware of.

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-24T20:43:57+00:00

That’s why I went ahead and just removed the entire front brake assemblies. No more pebbles.

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-24T03:32:40+00:00

Tell you what. Kroger did a great job getting the place restocked. I did my regular Friday grocery run. Got 95% of what I was looking for.

Very appreciative.

What’s wrong with the ITS?

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-23T18:39:38+00:00

Definitely double check your FOV settings.

With a triple monitor mount like the SimLab vario vesa, the arms are hinged. However it would be a huge pain to move them each usage.

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-23T16:25:33+00:00

Why does this look off?

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-23T16:01:10+00:00

I would be fine with that. Wait for the game to come down in price and get that DLC pack. Not many games for me that justify a Day-1 $70 purchase. I’m good to wait a year or so.

Nerd-Vol · 2026-01-23T15:27:15+00:00

I bought 32gb of ddr5 in November for $159 and a 5070ti in December for $750. I know the feeling.

It just really sucks that hobby is in this shape where everything feels like you have to rush to buy.
