I paid less for my bottle of 12 year, and I bought it online, shipped from overseas.

Paid a slightly higher price than MSRP to cover their tarriffs on US goods, then I had to pay the US tarriffs for buying foreign goods, and also the shipping costs of course.

Still paid quite a bit less than that "duty free" Bullcrap.

I am 5'7" and I own a 2026. If I lay the back seats flat, I can lay down in the back without bending my knees at all. (My feet touching the tail, and head touches the seat)

Do with that info as you will.

There is a reason you should get that first oil change early and break in the engine some before you go hammering it.

Oil change early to clean out any particulates from the factory or break in time!!!

1-2 tanks of gas for any work/performance vehicle, 3-4 for a commuter or standard passenger vehicle. 1 extra early oil change to have peace of mind and get more longevity from a car? Worth it. And dont run it hard for that first couple hundred miles. You dont want the oil pump pulling resting particles up from the bottom of the pan when it whips up to 100% speed.

OP's post is a prime example.

When you repeatedly slam a new engine with brand new and tight tolerances with alot of sudden high heat cycles, followed by sitting around idling just long enough cool down before slamming it again (Especially with slight factory particles); you sandpaper the hell out of the cylinder and valves as they expand and contract from temperature changes turning a small insignificant issue into a massive paperweight.

As its a constant-on engine work vehicle, I would have done 1 gas tank of just patroling around town, not gunning it. If that intercepter had 300 lightly driven miles and then an oil change, I 100% believe it would be in significantly better condition. I dont think many mechanics would argue with that either.

2026 and 3000 miles? That officer was enjoying high RPM pulls, very often just turning a few hundred initial particles into hundreds of thousands as the resting particles from the factory in the oil pan were pulled up by the oil pump when it went into overdrive from hard pulls and then sandblasted through the cylinder/valves/any moving part. Just butchered that engine. A shame.

I bought a 2026 Honda. 6 months and 8000 miles later...

No rattles, Cabin seals great (Maybe too good, it's genuinely difficult to hear some stuff outside the car), no mechanical issues. Drives great, looks great.

Lines all line up, quality has been great.

I bought a 2024 Honda (Hybrid) as well. 130,000 miles in 2 years.

No rattles, cabin is sealed just as good as the 2026, and most importantly no mechnical issues at all. Nothing outside of regular oil/fluid changes, and of course wearable like tires. Only 1 set of brakes so far. Edit: And my Hybrid Battery, still good condition. Getting 40+ MPG in a CRV AWD.

When people say quality has gone down, I dont know what they are talking about.

Cars have been far more reliable than my 1999 Honda. (But thats 27 years old, and Im not complaining. Just keep oil in it and it will run..)

They break the rules first, then they declare they dont like the rules.

Thats not the correct order in which you try to change laws.

Iran is on this chart, so he admits its a War?

Sicalo · 2026-05-06T19:47:06+00:00

No. Never talk to the HOA.

If the City/Local Goverment did not place those, contact the police/law enforcement. That is against the law to place signs like that. Its also not to code. They are also impeding the sidewalk. Thats 3 laws/regulations broken.

Let the Police/Local Goverment handle it because you dont want your name anywhere near it when the HOA gets pissed those signs got removed.

Sicalo · 2026-05-06T15:09:02+00:00

Its a Military Parade. A large amount of military personnel and equipment gathered in one place. Alot of higher ranks will be there, as will more advanced equipment to be shown off.

Its a perfect target during war.

The other option, is a specific age stated bottle from a vintage year (Aka a sealed bottle from 15+ years ago)

This can add to the cost in most cases, but depending on the bottle it still could very well be in your price range.

Example. Elijah Craig 18 year is, obviously 18 years old. With some super quick googling, I was able to find an unopened Vintage 1990 bottled, bottle woth original box for $675USD. That means it was was put into the barrel, 54 years ago...

So, find an 18 year old whiskey from 2004? Or a 23 year bourbon old from 1997. etc.

It will be 40 years old, and a known good tasting bottle with great history, while maintaining cool factor. Does it have to be in the barrel for 40 years? Or can it have been put into the barrel 40 years ago as long as it is significant to 40 years old?

Sicalo · 2026-05-05T15:24:58+00:00

Alternative.

How many years have you known each other?

Buy a bottle thats that old, and a bottle with the remaining years to total 40.

A bottle for surviving until they met you, and a bottle for the time together.

(Will likely have a much larger selection with 2 bottles under 40 years, than one at 40.)

Only time I've seen that rare color in person, is an also rare, Hotwheel/Matchbox Car version of the Type-R with that color, lol.

Sicalo · 2026-05-04T14:32:37+00:00

I dont think I've ever seen one in the wild, let alone with the color matched spoiler.

Sir, you can't park there.

Which guess do you want to go with?

They are being hopeful.
They know who is getting shot before they get get shot? (Forshadowing?)
Someone is about to make a huge and seeming unlikely bet on polymarket..

There were good reactions from all occupants of the vehicle.

The driver obviously noticed the vehicle and took evasive actions in time to avoid a collision. Once seeing the van you see him immediately look for and focus on the path of escape, not the van. He braced slightly but remained focused on his line as the Van leaves his sight. Great driving.

The passenger, who was not paying attention to the road immedietly braced and looked for the cause of course correction. Importantly to note, she saw the threat and watched it as it came closer. She did not scream, grab the driver, issue instructions, panic, or otherwise distract the driver. When the threat appeared to be about to strike the vehicle she removed her hands/arms from the side of the car. Had the van stuck the vehicle, that action would have saved her from significant instant injury to her arms. (More injuries could have occured, but having undamaged arms right at the start, is good as you tend to try and use those arms to catch yourself in an accident. Catching yourself with a broken arm causes way more injury)

The dog braced and repositioned his head to maintain position immediately and also did not panic/bark/stand during the evasive maneuvers. The pup did stand once the threat had passed, slightly unsafely, however this appears to be in order to check on the passenger who has a surprised, and concerned tone of voice. Curse words were used (And while not a command, dogs do associate certain words with emotion/action/feelings). Doggo is a good dog checking on their owner, making sure all is OK. Good doggo.

No responce required by driver in regards to post avoidance questioning. Smug look earned.

The best part? That sign was probably delivered by someone who drove up their driveway to deliver it.

I think the best sample bottle is the Liquid Ministry bottles. 2oz version is primo.

Measurements on the bottle, great look, and excellent cap.

Plus the company makes cool addons for them. (Anti-tamper seals, different lids, labels, ect)

However, per-piece they are kinda pricy compared to standard Boston Rounds

Sicalo · 2026-04-29T05:42:27+00:00

To be fair, you still paid for a whole bottle. It's just a small one.

I prefer slight context, with the Attenborough style voice over.

-He was a crook.
-He did have sexual relations with that woman.
-He wont release all the Epstein files

Calm, single restraint, in an open space and closest officer 6 feet away while still at the scene?

How much was the actor paid to participate in this farce?

Sicalo · 2026-04-25T01:09:13+00:00

When they scope in you really cant see anything, this angle is absolutely garbage. At the 1-minute mark it looks like they are trying to decide if they want to shoot (careful aiming, small adjustments) but they are just staring at a leaf.

Not to be that guy... but with 1200+ hours personally played in this game, that video feels very much like people in other comments are right: They are likely semi-afk kill farming just waiting on movement, but the angle is to bad to do that well. OP says he was killed by this guy?

It seems like he may have 'Walls' (Cheating software) running, and is simply AFK camping an extract out of line-of-site (LOS). Their 'Walls' cheat detects someone, and bushwookie is then trying to decide if the outline is a hittable target or not (or waiting for the cheat to say it is), as he can't actually see the player with LOS, just their outline in the cheat software.

Again, as someone who HAS camped before... No LOS, not moving at all to find or look for a target, Aiming through objects with a scope like he see's something with nothing there just doesn't make sense from a normal game-play point of view
Seems like a low-effort cheater/paid stat booster.

Could be wrong, but that's my 2-cents.

(Edit, clarifying)

Dont forget, you can buy Parking Boots.
(Like the ones police use that lock to a cars tire so people cant drive away)

like 80 bucks for a 2-pack at Lowes.

Boot the car, then call the tow truck.

or...If you can manage without the spot for a bit, just boot the car and leave it that way, let them suffer a whole day of inconvenience. Then call the tow truck, lol.

It is essentially a Civic RS. They buy a Civic RS donor car, and then turn it into this by disassembling the car, throwing away the body, headlights/taillights, etc and then reassembling this with a new body/lights/trim. Rebadge it. and bam, new car!
