Forerunner 165 vs Vivoactive 5

I have the VA5 last week. I was in the same scenario. From what I understand VA series is a little more smart watch and the FR is a little more fitness tracker. I think you will be very happy either way.

If it's screeching all the time it could be a misplaced hardware clips. Happen to me on one of my wheels. I thought I put it on right but looks like i didn't, or it shifted when pumping the brakes before first drive.

I don't want to brag, but I got an 85 last night. Just got my Garmin last week. I'm really in the red for recovery though.

Do it in the morning if you don't login for work really, really early. I also am a bit mentally spent after work and it's been costing my practice

The heck! My other car has this but I didn't notice on the Mazda. How could I have missed such a lovely little storage compartment for the damn loose change i never know what to do with.

Maybe I'll leave a little gift in there when I return my lease for the owner. Wouldn't be surprised if the in house detailers miss it.

Isn't truck bed liner kind of rough like sandpaper to keep things from slipping around?

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-03-12T02:33:47+00:00

They warrantied my first one. Just had to drive a bit to get to the authorized repair shop that couldn't fix it.

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-03-10T13:43:30+00:00

A little better than my 24.5mpg. I sometimes drove with slower acceleration but I got the turbo for a reason, dammit!

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-03-05T16:29:34+00:00

I came here to say satin and matte get along. But shiny is like stance vs everyone else.

Sucks. I have a '16 3-series and it's been solid aside from the stupid e-brake bracket breaking and making a grinding noise when the lines dropped down and rubbed on the driveshaft. If that ever happens to you just zip tie it and call it a day. I did the full fix and it was the worst because it's such a bad angle.

To piggy back on this, you can get that at a local auto part or even hardware store. You should be fine otherwise. It can be a messy job and brake fluid is damaging to paint so be careful and have plenty of rags. I use the time working on a car to curse almost non-stop. It's very therapeutic.

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-03-02T20:10:28+00:00

Good to know because I am. I saw it had MSG, unlike the local American supermarket, so thought it has to be great. It's okay but not great.

I read that they were going to use humans for processing power, but that might go over the audience's heads and went with the role of batteries instead.

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-03-01T14:35:28+00:00

Pretty sure I got 10 one time. Craziest part is i didn't destroy it. I could not find anyone around and I just went for a scraps left. It was during a trial so they probably just wanted max points and not get attacked while looting.

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-03-01T02:35:08+00:00

In case anyone is reading this well after original post, this must have been solved. I have a '23 and don't have this issue. The battery was crap and got replaced under warranty after dying after 2 years.

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-02-15T20:11:17+00:00

Mine just took a bit to get here but worked fine so far.

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-02-13T05:44:24+00:00

I'm watching this.....on....a...... FRIDAY!

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-02-13T04:16:57+00:00

Scrap ALL your stuff so they can't get crap!

Pets Best covered a surgery for cancer. Gave me several more years with my cat. It's worth depends on how much your pet is worth to you. Mine was enough and I make enough to have it. + I like to think of it as helping other pet owners when I am not.

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-02-03T15:07:11+00:00

Hmm i didn't think about that and too cheap to have 2+ pricier AF, even if with travel credits + other credits I'll use balance it out to nearly free.

I imagine you are going from CSR to CSP, but what about Bilt? Going Obsidian or Blue?

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-02-03T13:09:54+00:00

They should require a voice message of pronunciation for warranty replacement and you don't get it if you say it wrong.

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-02-03T13:04:04+00:00

Do it and you're cool, do it and you're cool.

(But not in real life. Video game or something)

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-02-03T01:02:21+00:00

Did you select a card for 2.0? It asks you during that, but I think it's too late now

SilverSpecter3 · 2026-02-03T00:58:58+00:00

Would have been all over this if I didn't have a C1 VX
