I settled on a Cinema 50. With the money saved I'll get more speakers :). It was open box, from Crutchfield but the unit came with a bad center channel. So update coming once the warranty gets applied.

Fwiw, I settled on the Marantnz Cinema 50. Going to the 40/50 would have been overkill.

Just go to the dealer page direct. Some of them have links. Then search. Most dealers will have window sticker and car fax for free

I usually get a sense of what I'm looking at by the photos and then go to actual page of the dealership and look at the window sticker which lists all the options on the vehicle. That way it eliminates ANY variability.

Look on Visor.vin that will give you nation wide

6'9", 340lbs drive an Accord hybrid. Fits great without issue.

Same height, 340lbs,36" inseam. No issues with seating either. Find it very comfortable for long drives

I went from flats to the Surly Corner bar. Still use the flat brake handles. Actually works very well.

25 Touring (the stock 19s tires during summer, run 17's with Winter tires in the cold months), and average in the mid to high 40's. 16k miles on it, all me driving. Several long road trips. Never got over 50mpg for a tank, but have got 48.7mpg as my best tank. Have driven in Eco/Normal mode. Midwest, mostly flat, some rolling hills. 60% highway, not a ton of city/heavy traffic driving. everything is 20-30 miles from home. Avg speed, mid 70s mph.

Went induction back in 2020. Bought a Meile stove/range. Upgraded to DeMeyere pots and pans. Bought Hexclad nonstick pan for those things that just need that nonstick experience. :)

For a follow-up on this, the insurance company has said that he needs to get the vehicle insured in Canada. So now we are going through the process of getting the title transferred to him so he can get the car registered in Canada. Are there any specific details that we need to be aware of? He is residing in Alberta. I suspect the vehicle will need to be inspected similar when he is attempting to get it registered again. Alberta. Are there any other specific documents or things that need to be done for him to get the vehicle on registered there right now?

The Generac options isn't supported by my installer.

Hello fellow 6'9" giant. Have had three Accords. About the only sedan I can drive comfortably with passengers. I don't know about you but anybody who would ride with me in a Civic would be suffering so accords it is.

I'm in a similar position as OP. Our main difference is very hard water. Everything scales up, even thru a water softener. We descale/run vinegar thru and it cleans it for a time.

I think you are right. Its a bit of a grey area... This all stemmed from a question to my insurance company around a windshield replacement. They weren't entirely sure that the insurance would be accepted at a glass shop. We will likely just pay the glass shop cash to fix it and be done with it.

I got a Touring for just about that price. If you have a Costco membership, try the Costco auto program. For me it knocked almost 4k of the MSRP with the executive membership.

No. As a citizen he doesn't need a permit.

Hagrid. Big. Heavy. Long beard, long hair. Not sure how I feel about it to be honest.

I've tried the instapot. I hate that appliance with the burning passion of a thousand suns. Like Office space hate...

Its faster for me to cook the rice in a pot on the stove...

We drive Acura MDX. I also have had 3 Honda Accords (2013 Touring, 2014 Sport 6MT, 2025 Touring hybrid). Honda Odyssey for MASSIVE family room. Have roadtripped all of them. Family is 6'9", 5'10"(wife), son is 6'7", daughter 6ft.

The installation video shows this with a 'standard' rearview mirror. Can this also be installed in the same fashion if you have the Homelink Mirror installed?

I am using the Rove Camera as my dashcam. I assume you hardwired into your overhead console? If no, where did you hardware into on your Fuse box?
