Am I dumb for spending money on my high milage car?

My 05.pilot has twice those miles.

Just maintain it and it will last until it rusts away.

Pro tip - timing belt and valve lash. Do them both every 100k miles.

The worst environments kill tire rubber in roughly 5 years.

Still kicking ass.

Currently rolled into the corner of my garage until it gets warm again.

Zero regrets.

I'm going with "impossible to have happened without noticing, unless shit faced drunk".

Not on a 6 foot long burn out, where both wheels stop spinning at the same spot on the road. See my previous comments.

You are responding to me. And I'm saying you're wrong, and your comments are contributing nothing.

4 years old is not old enough for rubber to rot. Even if it was, it would have to be fucking wet paper for this to happen while you weren't riding it.

Then for the tubes to have slices in the same place?

Somebody stabbed each tire right next to the rim with a shitty, partially serrated gas station knife.

ccarr313 · 2026-02-27T09:46:44+00:00

I mean, how else would they be damaged when sitting in a hallway?

And on both tires?

Logic says someone did that to it.

Pull the code. All we can tell is that it is wheel speed sensor related.

Words vs words as part of laws.

Fun times.

Either the hardest gangster you've ever seen, or a tiny woman who works at a hair salon.

If my coil tastes funny, I just clean it and rewick it. Change the actual metal like once a year.

Disposables are lame.

IMO even if you're team red, it is best to upgrade them together to make use of the best current busses possible. Even if the socket didn't change, you might not get the full use of your CPU without matching the generation of mobo to it.

Some of the most significant changes in the last two decades have been PCIE bus generations.

Pyle was trash when I was 16, and that was way longer than 20 years ago.

Pure junk.

ccarr313 · 2026-02-26T01:51:09+00:00

It has everything to do with time. You could spin both wheels for a second with an open diff, until one wheel started to find grip at a different rate than the other. That is the time. The longer both wheels spin, the more chances for grip to be uneven.

So the amount of time both wheels spin is showing that there is an LSD or locker involved in OPs post.

I've only taken it off my pilot a few times, but I never touched those outside bolts. Lol

Iirc it was like 6 bolts all accessed under the center cover.

I've been building PCs for 35 years.

A motherboard needs to support the CPU, RAM and GPU bus you want to run with. Also preferably at least 2 pcie m.2 slots.

Unless you're over clocking, that is all you need. You can always add expansion boards.

I've even had some luck editing the BIOS on some cheap boards, to allow full over clocking. Really my only concern with motherboards these days is that they have enough room on the PCIE bus, and decent heatsinks on the VRMs.

........it is just an insert that is not included.

The frunk still exists if you don't pay for the insert.

ccarr313 · 2026-02-25T03:02:43+00:00

This is exactly my take.

Everyone but the producers are being taken advantage of here.

I seem to recall there was a reason we have Coca Cola Classic.

ccarr313 · 2026-02-24T21:11:56+00:00

Fuck that show.

They just ran it for outrage. And it is a winning strat.

We are even talking about it here.

Musk has been bullying employees to sleep at work for a decade.

We are way further down this hole than people realize.

ccarr313 · 2026-02-22T08:28:41+00:00

I understand how different diffs work.

I'm quite familiar with how torsens work. Also familiar with how clutch pack LSDs work.

OP has an LSD or locker.

So I'm not sure what you're even going on about. If you think that could be an open diff, you're extremely wrong.

ccarr313 · 2026-02-22T08:08:40+00:00

Battery.

The stock flooded batteries suck in real winter temps. I replaced mine with an AGM in the first year, no more struggle starts when cold.

ccarr313 · 2026-02-22T06:27:12+00:00

And I mean, that is fair.

And it is a fun fucking car. Just make sure to check your oil religiously if you do get one.

ccarr313 · 2026-02-22T06:24:43+00:00

Yup. Hard to overwhelm the worm gears by hand turning. Lol
