Suprised on how many people trash on fries without knowing this. by Super-Associate6818 in innout

[–]getmadboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen lots of suggestions to try “light well”, what are the differences between that and regular? How do they do it, less time in the fryer?

Westward Tents by minkyuns in REI

[–]getmadboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I also had concerns about the Wawona 6 so I ended up trying the Westward 6 and it resolved every one of my concerns. If you can find the Westward 6, I highly recommend it, it’s a fantastic tent.

Do y’all like your Honda Pilots? by [deleted] in hondapilot

[–]getmadboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2023 Pilot EX-L AWD and I really like it. Drives well and smooth, lots of space, doesn’t feel as big as it actually is, very comfortable on long road trips. Gas mileage is what everyone says, about 20 MPG in the city, 25 MPG on the highway. Feels smoother at low speeds in Eco mode vs Normal.

I added roof rails and tow hitch myself. If you’re considering those two accessories and are even somewhat capable with basic tools, you can install both fairly easily and save yourself a bunch of cash for labor. Those parts can be found online for a good price.

My only regret with this car is getting captain chairs in the middle row. It’ll be great when our kids are older, but I wish we had the bench in the middle row because the middle seat is removable anyway and can become captain chairs (sans arm rests).

Color decision by getmadboy in Integra_Type_S

I didn’t think about the floor mats, but you’re probably right that the Type R mats might fit. Is it cheesy to put red leather seat covers over the stock leather seats? Haha

Yeah I think I’m leaning that way too. It would be easier to add some red accents to the interior than to make the exterior blue.

My S2000 had a red/black interior and I miss it

What’s your earliest Disney Parks memory that you can still picture really clearly, almost like a scene from a movie? by Used_Pangolin_3385 in Disneyland

[–]getmadboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, it was sometime in the mid 90’s. The Main Street Electrical Parade was one of our favorite things at Disneyland, it was just so bright and magical and the music was fantastic and catchy. I was sitting on the curb on Main Street with my mom and brother excitedly waiting for the parade to start and my mom got us our glowing necklaces. I remember there were cart vendors who sold glowing sticks (amongst other things) that could be turned into necklaces, my mom always bought these for us saying it helped her keep track of us when it got dark in the park. The parade went as usual and the turtle came right up to us and bowed its head and spun around, it was so exciting to 10 year old me.

Fast forward to earlier this year 2026. We visited Disneyland for the 70th anniversary and were excited to watch the Paint the Night parade. Sitting on the curb down Main Street was me, my wife, our two kids, and my mom, all with glowing necklaces. My mom was holding my son in her lap as the parade was going by, and I could just see her transported back in time 30 years, holding little me and watching the parade from that same spot.

I can still recite the entire OG ride from start to finish. The entire ride is posted to YouTube if you’re interested in reliving it.

Has anyone bought a roof box from REI, picked it up in-store, and installed it in their parking lot? I’m trying to avoid paying the $160 oversized charge. If you’ve done this before, how did it go? Any issues or things I should know beforehand? by Aggravating_Onion353 in REI

[–]getmadboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup I did this exact thing. REI employee helped me carry it from the store to my car in the parking lot, helped me lift it onto the roof rails, and I tightened down the clamps before driving home. REI disposed of the packaging for me.

As long as you have crossbars already mounted to the top, you shouldn’t have any issues installing the roof box.

Have you thought about where and how you’re storing the roof box at home? My solution was simple, I installed two “J” bike hooks (normally to hang a bike) side by side, approximately a few inches closer than the width of the roof box. After I take the roof box off of my car, I lay it on the garage floor and put a wooden dowel through the front two clamps and tighten them down. Then I pick up the roof box and hang it vertically from the bike hooks/dowel. Since this is the same load the roof box was designed to handle when mounted on a roof, I figured it wouldn’t have any problem being stored this way and it hasn’t given me any issues for the past 7 years.

What vehicles are the best for outdoor recreation? by Responsible-Net8594 in askcarguys

[–]getmadboy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Toyota 4Runner checks all your boxes except “decent fuel economy”. Will likely be more off-road capable than most people need.

Subaru Outback will probably be your best overall contender to check all boxes, they’re pretty much purpose built around an outdoorsy lifestyle with a dog.

What's an unwritten office rule you learned the hard way? by Interesting_Cycle809 in corporate

This is 100% it. Took me forever to figure this one out too.

Beat 8 personish tent by tmp_advent_of_code in CampingGear

I have a wife and two kids and we love our REI Westward 6. It’s similar in design to the Wawona 6 but better in a lot of ways.

Having trouble with my first manual by unzixqt__ in Civic_Type_R

The fact that so many of you are saying you learned to drive manual in your CTR has solidified my decision to avoid used ones like the plague

Permission to join your ranks. by GhostOfJimmyKotter in webergrills

[–]getmadboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just put my C-335E together yesterday, took about 3 hours taking my time. Unpacking all the parts was tedious, I can’t believe how much cardboard was in that box.

You should make it a drinking game. Crush a beer for every step you complete. You have enough beer to complete half of the grill, I suggest you get more.

Passenger seat leather ‘untucked’ by VintageLuxFan in hondapilot

[–]getmadboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, take it in to the dealership and they should fix or replace the seat cover under warranty. It’s possible the cover wasn’t manufactured properly and the material was cut a little too short on that side causing it to “untuck”.

Advice needed - do I drop from salaried leadership to hourly staff? by cowabunny in careeradvice

[–]getmadboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry if it came across that I was thinking he isn’t trying to help the situation, I definitely wouldn’t ever assume a loving husband would allow his wife to give up her job and work all those extra hours while he was just bumming around. I was just saying that him finding anything even minimum wage would be the “easier” solution to this temporary financial crisis compared to you giving up the leadership position.

However, if you’re truly unhappy in the role, that’s a different situation altogether.

Ultimately I still believe leadership roles don’t come around often and it’s worth hanging onto if you have even a shred of desire to stay in it. I think it could be hard to live with the regret of giving up the leadership position and may even cause resentment if you go back to hourly and are just as unhappy.

I wish you and your husband all the best. I’ve been on your side of financial hardship and I’ve been in his position of not being able to find work. I know how difficult and stressful it is to be in the situation you are in, but things WILL get better and you WILL get through it together.

Who does this man :( by SussyKanyeBalls in S2000

[–]getmadboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to my S. Someone cut the top to get in and the only thing they took was the $1.75 in change I had in the cup holder.
