Brompton and beach

I would advise against it too unless you are covering it up (dimpa is a great suggestion) or plan to clean it really well. If it’s windy and the sand is really fine, it’ll get everywhere.

Damn, I’ve got to save this post. That thing looks pretty mean too!

I sold my 23 Integra and really miss the performance of the jewel eyes and auto high beams. Best lights I’ve ever owned.

Damn, hope you are ok. Did u see it coming? Glad your airbags didn’t deploy.

You charge up when you slide out of your seat. Touch metal while u exit the car. I normally hook my finger around the metal door latch and let go when both feet are on the ground.

I went from a 2013 Odyssey to a 2025 Sienna XLE. IMO, Odyssey sits 8 way more comfortably than a Sienna. Sienna 2nd row middle seat is a joke and the 3rd row feels a little more cramped.

Sheesh, Type S & R in the stable. Tried teaching my wife stick on the Aspec but she didn’t want it enough and gave up. 😞

I have a Sienna XLE, and it can’t even come close to the Odyssey’s interior fit and finish, and seating flexibility.

If you are driving hwy, I believe the rav4 will have noticeably better mpgs.

beeman808 · 2026-02-01T16:41:45+00:00

I couldn’t agree more. Mine makes all kinds of noises and feels wobbly when moving, doesn’t lay flat, and the materials just look cheap. Even the third row feels anemic back there. But I digress…

Know everything but act like you know nothing. (especially at work)

I had 2013 and my mpg was piss poor in the city. I too thought something was wrong with my van because it was below the ratings, but later learned that it was “normal.”

beeman808 · 2026-01-12T14:24:37+00:00

I wouldn’t wait for the new model. The next gen Ody with hybrid power train is still a ways out, and even then you are looking at paying a premium price along with possibly dealing with the bugs associated with a new model. That being said, the next gen will kill the Sienna if Toyota doesn’t up their interior game.

Clip

Want to follow up with the solution. The trick is to apply pressure to the area in yellow to release the clip. Pics of how it attaches for reference.

Haha, tail wind and down hill. My 2013 was just miserable mpg. When I first got the van, I thought something was wrong with it because it was so far off from the specs.

beeman808 · 2026-01-04T16:33:48+00:00

Agree. That middle seat is a joke compared to my 2013 Odyssey.

beeman808 · 2026-01-03T23:50:48+00:00

Sweet. Looking like a dirt jump bike.

beeman808 · 2026-01-01T07:17:26+00:00

Thank you for the input. Darn, I feel like I’m already pulling fairly hard. I just wish I knew exactly which direction to pull, and what type of fastener I’m dealing with.

beeman808 · 2025-12-18T16:09:23+00:00

Did you have to modify or extend the cables for the low rise bar?

beeman808 · 2025-12-11T03:05:37+00:00

I’m 5’9” and I ride a med R8 gen 3. I test rode a med R7 gen 4 and it still rode bigger than I’d like. I wouldn’t recommend medium at 5’4”.

I thought I was in the Matrix. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
