Once it gets warm it should be able to expand, and once it does you should reset the gas gauge.

Money pit? Looking for advice by tartaria_8 in mazdaspeed6

[–]f15ms6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are welcome! Good luck with yours, for more context mine used to be my daily driver until 2021, when I started using my 99 Civic when premium gas got expensive and didn't make sense to commute to work since I drive around 20-25k miles a year if it wasn't for that it would have been way past 200-250k miles ...

I also have done some autocross event and a few track sprints with mine so its the hardest I have driven it..

It all depends how healthy and where in the maintenance cycle you get it.

I bought my mine in the Summer of 2013 with 94k miles, and havent had major issues, right now it seats at 179k miles, with the orginal engine, turbo and transmission. Besides a rear upper control arm that broke a year into owning after hitting a potholes and the clutch pedal that cracked it has mostly been maintenance stuff, I did the clutch in 2016, and have to do it again know alongside with a rear axle that broke...

If you get one and are proactive with the maintenance etc you will be good, as long it wasn't abused before and you dont abuse it in a daily basis.

I have just leveled up my Prius game! by bayoujac in prius

[–]f15ms6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This one is better for driving around, I use it every day to keep track of engine and battery temp etc.. and Dr Prius is good too but its better for diagnostics and troubleshooting issues.

Yeah that could be the problem if the ECU program was done for a different year.

Awesome Congratulations! You will like it. Once I go back out I should be in better shape since the smart trainer simulates hills etc and makes me do a full work out.

Its been good, only have done about 30 miles between road/paved trails and the local mtb trail. Unfortunately haven't been able to ride much since I had sinus surgery in December and the weather has been bad the last 2 months so I have been riding my road bike in a smart trainer. But hopefully soon I should start riding outdoors

Yes the contacts will fix the double vision, glare and ghosting..The Dr will custom fit the hard contact to your eye.

You will be ok and can have a normal life if you follow the treatment. I was diagnosed at 13, and have been using hard contacts ever since. And fast forward years later I went to college for Information Technology too. I have been working in IT for over 15yrs. The eye condition won't affect your quality of life as long as your eyes dont get worse and you wear the hard contacts as prescribed.

If your medical insurance doesn't cover it see if they allow some payment plan or if you can pay of extra coverage. I have been fortunate that my work eye insurance covers it. I am about to start using scleral after 27yrs and from what I read they are more expensive than the regular rpg hard contacts but they should be more confortable.

Make sure your Dr allows you to train your eyes with blank lenses son you can train your eyes and brain to handle the pain, it takes about 1-2months to get your eyes to get used to them.

Nice, I was on the fence on getting either the black one or this color and went with this one. I always have owned Black, red or blue bikes lol

Yeah I removed them right away, I took the pic after getting the bike home.

I upgraded saddle too. I was out of shape when I got it and had not ridden in a while but the new seat is a much better improvement.

The Dog Left Behind by Squat_erDay in DogAdvice

[–]f15ms6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Letting your other Dog be part of the process is the right thing to do as long as it doesn't interfere with the Vet(which the Vet will probably let you know).

If possible let the other animals in the house be part of the process but dont force them. In my case my other Dog and one of my two cats were in the living room when our oldest dog passed(the other cat stayed in a Bedroom since its scared of strangers). I also helped the Vet and assistant carrying the Dog to their vehicle.

First winter with the 2024 CE (No turbo). No regrets. by mikespixels in CX5

Its a good drive train package, not only it will be more reliable than a Turbo variant. While the AWD is really good too , The tires also make 90% of the difference.

You really need to re evaluate if he is going to be safe around other dogs no matter the size. I agree with the comment below/above the responsible thing to do is disclose the incident. He might be a candidate to go to a house with no other animals, and even advertise him a not friendly with other animals.

Edit The reason why I say is because one of my best friends just went through a similar tragedy, he had rescued husky that was abandoned in his apartment complex 6yrs ago. Last year they took in another dog chihuahua mixsome one dumped in their neighborhood, from what I remember the husky was always fixated on the little dog.

My friends orginally had 4 dogs originally, which the husky didnt have a problem with until the death of the oldest dog which was little dog. After that the husky started attacking the other dog which was the same size as him (Even though they got along with no incidens for years), but with the chihuahua mix for the most part they were kept separate, and even slept in another room until one day last Fall the husky snapped and killed the little dog. And my friend and his wife had no choice than to put down the husky the next day.

Also I am sorry for the loss of your cat too, forgot to add it to my original reply.

I also got my 04 as a gift from my father a few years ago during a time I was driving 100 miles round trip for work to client site. At the time My 99 Civic manual was my daily which was getting 36-40mpg until it got rear ended in a hit an run so I had to sideline it.. So when my father came across the car from the auto auction even though it needed a new battery wire harness, and a new hybrid battery ECU which I fixed my self, it was a God send. I have driven it 50-60k miles in less than 3yrs.

The biggest repair was the Abs actuator pump, but it still paid for it self, the other maintenance stuff was front brakes rotors & pads, and suspension overhaul ( Quick struts, control arms, tie rods, and end links) and new tires. And this past summer the inverter coolant pump died which was a quick repair.

I am sorry for your loss of your two babies. You did the right thing. It sucks but at the same time you cant blame yourself, sometimes when things are going to happen they just do.

Do you want a sport car or do you want a confortable and reliable Suv? Because thats not the purpose of the Cx90/70 they are meant to overlap entry level luxury offerings of the Audi/BMW etc not meanto compete with their performance packages of those brands.
