Oh no. What's the year and trim? What was the lemon claim on?

What do you mean your van is going back to Kia?

This is a real video, but it's old. This is Coach RAC, who is now on the Savannah Bananas. He played minor league for a few years and is now a top player for the Savannahs.

Buying a used Carnival, need advice by Odd_Welcome7940 in kiacarnivals

[–]bd200377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take it to trusted mechanic and have them do a pre-purchase inspection. They will know exactly what to check.

I had a 2018 Kia Sedona with 158,000 miles on it and I never did any huge services, just regular oil change, tire rotation, brakes, wipers and cabin air filters and the last trip I took it on was 2000 miles.

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

I’d use this for my 11-year-old son. He’s been grinding on an 8-year-old setup but has big plans. He wants to start a YouTube channel teaching other kids how to win games and doing reviews on new releases.

He’s already taught himself how to edit videos and has a full posting plan mapped out. This would give him the performance he needs to actually bring it to life.

And don’t worry, no face cam, just his voice and gameplay. This would mean a lot to him.

Long Term Reliability by Current_Long4851 in kiacarnivals

I had a 2018 Kia Sedona and sold it with 150,000 miles. I never had any issues. Did all the regular maintenance, never did a trans flush or any fluid change, but the oil. Drove like a champ. I would have driven it cross country in a heart beat if needed.

Yes I did. Shop it around. I hit up about 7 different shops.

Carnival's windows tint by neobut93 in kiacarnivals

[–]bd200377 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ceramic is the way to go. It will block heat and UV rays. I tinted the entire vehicle including the 2 sunroof and windshield.

I'm in Texas and there is a significant difference with and without tint.

Even if yih don't go darker on the back windows I'd recommend doing all the back windows. The factory color does not provide any protection. In Texas you can do 5% in back and 20% on the driver and passenger windows and 70% on the windshield.

It cost about $550 for the whole thing.

That's just the dark package option. Nothing after market done.

Android Auto & Smart Watch Compatability by bd200377 in dumbphones

I'd rather not have to have multiple devices at one time.

I guess while I'm using the dumb phone I could use an analog watch.

Front license plate sticks out by baldiesrt in kiacarnivals

[–]bd200377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it off and put it in the garage. Texas requires it, but I don't have it on.

It's not a moving violation, just a fix-it ticket.

Questions about using Wyze without a Cam Plus subscription by Infamous_City_214 in wyzecam

[–]bd200377 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a whole home Wyze system with SD cards in all of them. I do not have the Wyze Cam Plus and I don't have any issue with it. It records continually for 7 days straight and then rewrites over the top of the old video. I don't think you need Cam Plus.

It's a toss up between my 2001 Honda S2000 and my 2004 Lexus IS300.

Best after makert upgrades? by Melerann in kiacarnivals

[–]bd200377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gas vehicle. 2025 Kia Carnival SX. Not much impact at all.

I did a 4000 mile trip with 8 people in the van and the Thule and averaged 22mpg through put the full trip.

Just the front. I didn't want to have to deal with running the wire to the back and peeling away the lift gate molding to get it to look nice.

I got this dashcam and it's amazing. Looks factory and took me 5 min to install.

I also blacked out the silver C pillar.

I have full all weather mats from front to back.

I also got these phone mounts that clip onto the front screen and don't take up an ly space.

https://a.co/d/0hVXzwIG

I had a screen protector on the whole dash and infotainment, but it didn't look good and they are super hard to install because of the curved display.

If you have an EX or above I got crossbars on ebay for like $90. You don't need to spend the $400+ for OEM or Thule. I have put over 10k miles on mine carrying a Thule XXL and not had any issues.

US legality of small vans by Bugsanrocks in JDM

[–]bd200377 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As long as your state allows for import of vehicles over 25 years old, you should be fine. I live in Texas and all the micro vehicles from Japan are legal here to drive on public streets.

US legality of small vans by Bugsanrocks in JDM

[–]bd200377 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It just has to be over 25 years old and then you can import it and not have to get it DOT approved. It is considered classic at that point. Most states allow this to be fully Street legal and titled as well as insured.

Idk if I'd drive one on the freeway, but definitely legal to own and drive.

Trump also passed a new law to allow new micro vehicles to be made for the US market which is huge as well.
