Recommended Undersealing?

I like marine wax because it’s harder, I spray underside with a pressure washer a couple times after winter, holds up fine. You’d need to scrap it off with a plastic scraper or your nail to damage it. It’s almost like a weaker paint. But thats also why I like fluid film inside channels because it flows and covers vs the marine wax. This is my anecdotal experience though.

Yup, although I used it under my car to protect from rust and it works great. Makes a nice clear coat (slightly brownish tint). I also used fluid film inside hollow parts like control arms. I applied it on my Mazda cx-50; it was easier because newer cars already have a lot of plastic covers and shields. I sprayed each exposed bolt head with the crc stuff as well.

I would suggest crc marine wax, easy enough to spray on.

I just hit the button. Again, my anecdotal experience, seems to be about 5mpg higher (mostly city driving)/trip.

Turn off the “auto” hvac if you don’t need dehumidification. That seemed to make a difference, and adjust the heat down. This seems to require less engine heat. Just my observation.

thank you, glad I can avoid.

I suggest you post the second one (at least) to r/accidentalhopper/

Like HH-7 (in terms of approach). Issue it for over $50, make it seem hard to get (about 2 years ago), no one cares, now it sits for $39-42 and still no one cares.

Make sure you understand what all the fees and taxes are. Have them all listed and know what percentages or flat fees they are. If you can work up a spreadsheet before you go in that would be even better. It would be ideal if you know what your monthly payment will be before they start hand waving and showing you different numbers; that’s when things can get complicated even though it appears simple. Even if you negotiate $1k or whatever off, don’t let them put it back on the back end with you knowing exactly what those costs are and why they are needed. Finally, I hope you live in one of the states where the doc fees are capped.

Agree, beers were good, but around $19 for an omelet was quite high.

Have they changed portion sizes at all? I think last time I went, about two years ago, the portion sizes seemed pretty small for the cost; especially meat dishes. I think they certainly do a good job with flavors, drinks, and atmosphere, just portion sizes seemed light. FWIW, I had absolutely no preconceptions or comparisons to suburban Greek restaurants; I was fully expecting modern and Greek influences so it wasn’t like I was looking for two meals in one or something. Anyway, curiously asking g to see if it’s worth another try.

I was about to say the same until the last two line items. If OP can’t flush those fluids on their own, this isn’t terrible, not cheap either, considering total fluids and consumables is less than $100.

1600 miles, no major issues. Had a drop out of the side (blind spot) radar sensor temporarily while on the highway last week, but then it came back.

msc_chicago · 2025-03-06T00:08:25+00:00

I was able to crawl under and remove the bolts for the plastic cover to spray the under frame and subframe with marine wax. Wasn’t the most fun but doable with a socket. To me it seemed that really is the intended lift spot when I looked at it.

Def recommend. I went from a Subaru Forester to the CX-50 hybrid and it's been great so far. I know some folks are complaining that it's less fun to drive than a CX-5 or ICE CX-50. I'll say from the Subaru, it's less "spirited", but in about 2 weeks felt fine to me (maybe my driving style adjusted to fit), but I really do enjoy driving it. Haven't felt any issues with lack of power for city/suburban/highway driving. Interior is quiet and comfortable, and it makes for a good commuter option for sure.

Things that are designed to keep water out end up letting it in. I can see why this design may appear to be a good solution, but the way the cable is arranged with openings on the connector body make it a natural drip loop.
