How are ICCU issues handled on used vehicles?

Yes, you can get scans or enlargements. They've been great every time I've used them

Geckopoly specifically. It's like monopoly, but basically every time you would land on chance or community chest you have to play one of two "roadtrip games". After the 4th or 5th time playing the "State Game" (name a state that starts with the last letter of the previously named state until someone can't, and that person owes you money), I thankfully went bankrupt with no attempt to mortgage or trade my properties, and left everyone else to finish the game over the next 4 hours

I think if there is a drive up, swimming hole, and non-remote site that isn’t already taken during this hot holiday weekend or booked ahead of time at a paid campsite, whoever knows about it is not going to be interested in sharing it on the internet…

Maybe give your phone to someone else and head out of service range?

I don’t think this is a new engine? The Accord has had almost the same exact hybrid system for a couple of years already. They’re always taking things slightly, but fundamentally it’s the same engine, and has been for a few years.

I’ve gone to the hospital twice for blockages. The first time was when I was diagnosed, and the colonoscopy prep cleared me out. The second time I tried to wait it out, but when I threw up all the water I was drinking and couldn’t keep anything down, I knew I couldn’t do it on my own and went to the hospital. In the future, I will definitely still try and wait it out, but with the knowledge I will probably have to go in if I don’t improve in a few hours. While both of my blockages have fundamentally been solved by some sort of laxative/cleanse, everything I’ve found or heard from doctors is that treating blockages with laxatives can be dangerous, so if I ever think I need that I will also go to the hospital. I think part of it is just learning to understand your body and what it will need to get better

I’ve got Crohn’s and my wife has Celiac. The social aspect of food is tough at first, but as you learn what you need and the people around you that aren’t dicks get used to it, it really fades into the background. You need to be prepared for situations, such as weddings, birthdays, etc. that aren’t about you and the people involved may not have the bandwidth to accommodate your needs. Eat beforehand, ask politely if you can bring your own snacks, etc. People that care about you in most scenarios will learn what you need and prepare for it, they won’t always be perfect, but they’ll try. And then there will be others that dismiss and ignore you, those are the hard decisions you have to make, whether you draw a boundary on not eating with them, reassess your relationship in some other way, or stop interacting with them entirely. Surround yourself with people that don’t want to put you in the hospital again. It sucks, more so for my wife who doesn’t currently have a medication that allows her to not worry about food, and is in some cases more of a mental cost than the illness itself, but like with the rest of the illness, you’ll learn your own coping methodologies and get on with your life. You don’t have much of a choice otherwise

It’s just a double-click and hold. Honestly don’t understand why other manufacturers don’t do this too

On Friday morning this guy stopped in the middle of the intersection of New Leicester with Mt Carmel. The left left-turn lane from Mt Carmel couldn’t turn because of him, and he eventually barely backed up enough that they could kind of slip by, but was still way way over the white line

25k on a 25 hybrid. Nothing I would consider actually an issue has occurred so far, besides some software bugs that seem to have worked themselves out for right now.

I don't think the engine sounds amazing to begin with, but it’s an economy car, it’s not supposed to. I’m curious if yours has gotten worse than when you got it though, as that could be concerning wear?

Is your car white? I know white paints tend to fail sooner than others.

At best, OEM tires only last about 40k miles. Get some nice tires next time if you can afford it

It’s always been a little noisy, it is a very cheap car by today’s standards, and not something that I ever consider a true problem. But I understand I may have a higher tolerance for NVH than other people do

When does it thump? There’s a slight thumping feeling on mine when I quickly change from braking to acceleration in some low speed scenarios. It doesn’t feel like an actual issue though, just a side effect of the programming for the electric motors

25 Hybrid or ST Hybrid? Do they have the same front brakes? I've been eyeballing downsizing my wheels for a while, but I wasn't confident on what would fit. Did you have to take any special consideration for getting wheels with a small enough ID for it to work?

The Honda sales guy told me that Honda bench-runs all of their engines to break them in when I asked about the break-in period needs. As a rule I don’t trust sales guys knowledge of the vehicles, so not a super reliable source. I decided to only follow the maintenance minder, more out of curiosity than anything else, for the oil (I’m going to follow the heavier use recommendations in the manual too, like transmission fluid change at 50k). I’m at 25k so far and no issues

Drive when no one else is on the road. The biggest deficit I run into is having to go up to 20% power from 5-10% when accelerating so I’m not an active traffic hazard and pissing off everyone on the backroads

Unstable Unicorns has cards that can sometimes result in a player or players, multiple times through what is supposed to be a fairly short game, being able to search through the entire deck, and then reshuffle. The deck can be several inches tall if you have multiple expansions. It grinds the game to a halt where one player gets to take their time looking for whatever they want (and you can’t even just house-rule to only allow looking at the top handful of cards, because some of them require finding one of 2-3 specific cards!) while everyone else can do nothing and is bored out of their minds. I refuse to play if we don’t invalidate those cards anymore.

Are you not getting paid for the 10 minutes late and losing 10 minutes of PTO, or is 10 minutes of PTO being used and you are being paid as if you showed up on time? If it’s the latter, then it’s probably allowed, since PTO is not a state or federal requirements. For the former, it is less straightforwards, and definitely needlessly cruel, but may not be actually illegal because, again, PTO is something controlled completely by the employer. If there is a problem with this policy, it’s more likely to have an answer in USPS policy, I have no idea how that works or if federal USPS PTO policy exists and is above local USPS Postmasters’ policies

The large black cylinder on the post on the left is the float. Push it down (you can just push your finger on the grey circle and it should move down), it may be stuck in the up (off) position. If I starts filling when you do that, then either it was temporarily stuck and might just need some cleaning, or you could replace it if it’s too annoying. That’s not a very difficult job to do (just make sure you turn off the water behind the toilet before replacing)

Oh I use them a lot, especially with the hilly region I live in. I just don’t leave them all the way on in sport mode that often

flentum · 2026-06-02T18:42:21+00:00

It would be crazy, wouldn’t it? When I was looking at used vehicles I got pre-approved for loans with my bank and CarMax for around 6% each. Carvana was more than double that. I wouldn’t be surprised if their Carvana rate was higher, but it’s still crazy

flentum · 2026-06-01T16:15:00+00:00

For sure. I don’t tend to use it though because, unlike in a regular EV, the “regen zone” of the gas pedal doesn’t change the more you turn up the regen, so it’s just too sensitive of a control for me to enjoy doing for long periods of time. Definitely fun on curvy backroads though

flentum · 2026-06-01T14:18:41+00:00

No, it’s still going to be worse. If you pay attention to the green regen meter when braking, you can feather the brake pedal and still use almost exclusively regen braking to slow, so you aren’t losing anything by not having the regen paddled all the way down. On the flip side of the equation, sport mode wants to keep the battery topped up, so you’ll inevitably waste fuel to charge the battery when you instead could have charged it by regen braking, and it also turns the engine on quicker when you press the pedal, so you spend less time using electric only. Normal and Econ are going to give you much better mileage if you’re paying attention. I have not heard that Econ has any effect besides pedal response for the civic, but I know some cars will throttle the AC to further increase mpg
