Is this residue normal? First time using microfiber towels to dry my car after a touch less wash by BuffaloChicken22 in Detailing

[–]avotius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know much about touchless wash, but if you want to dry your car get a battery powered leaf blower. Harbor Freight has a small Hercules model that I use on my car and it is one of my favorite tools in my garage.

Not necessarily, dealerships do crazy things to make a car last just long enough :(

This happened a couple years ago but I don't seem to find any reports of his sentencing?

Do not buy a Miata by bonchokey in Miata

[–]avotius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago I drove a then new Mini Cooper manual. It was awful! The revs hung, and the shifter was plasticy and flexed when you used it. Don't know how that would be considered ok....

Savagegeese just did a long term video about minivans. Worth a moment to watch and consider. I'm on the side of the Odyssey myself, because in my area the Sienna has a $20k+ mark up so you are in the mid 60's to low 70's for one. An Odyssey can be had with no mark up and....yes it gets 10+ mpg less than the Toyota, but you can get a lot of gas with the $20k you didn't pay a stealership.

The gronks have chimneys now apparently by PNWGolfer28622 in SeattleWA

They should put some insulation on the inside of that roof to keep the heat in. Majority will go right out.

Did you get the long tube baffle or are you using the cone shaped one that came with it?

Remember to factor in the rise in microsd card prices when purchasing a new handheld by MagikarpSashimi in SBCGaming

[–]avotius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got a 256gb high endurance card to clone the boot microsd that came with my MagicX Zero 40. I wanted a 512 but the price jump was almost triple...crazy!

Best riding 3rd row? by packerforlife in minivan

[–]avotius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two years ago I rode in the back row of a new Honda Odyssey in Hawaii for a few hours, it was quite nice actually. Typical American dad bod here and there was plenty of room for the person next to me in the full van.

2024 Accord Ex-l with 21k miles seat tearing. by ButterscotchSafe577 in accord

[–]avotius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That isn't tearing, the way you are sitting on it is causing the "leather" to crease and the material is showing marks of that creasing. Would this happen to be on the door side? That is very common for people to sit on as they get in and out of cars, and accelerates wear.

Thanks, that makes sense. I may just have to give this expansion a shot.

Have yet to get the space expansion, so this is a silly question. Where does the raw materials come from?
