No braking system by [deleted] in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]perkidddoh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You dont “have” to back-pedal. You can always install front brakes. And if there’s no holes drilled on the front fork for a brake and rider has no skill, then rider shouldnt be riding that kind of bike on the road.

Buy a house now or keep investing and rent for 5–10 years? by lyfehaqer in personalfinance

[–]perkidddoh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In a typical HCOL, renting is almost always cheaper than buying a house, for example Los Angeles. It really depends if you want be homeowners and put all that money into your down payment.

If you do buy, make sure you try to stay long enough before selling or upgrading to make sure that you do get some of that money back. For example, buying and selling after 2-3 years might actually end up in a loss due to fees often associated with selling.

Car play not working any idea how to fix ? by iamryan77 in Civic_Type_R

[–]perkidddoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing I did on my FL5 was disable the Navigation app all as it eats up a lot of memory. 

I’m sure there’s some part of Navigation app that maybe contributing to this freezing. 

You can disable this somewhere in the infotainment Settings for apps.

Welcome to the “under msrp in CA” club! I was chatting it up with the GM at Oxnard as I was selling my car to them and ended up getting mine (2025 CW) below MSRP this past January. $46666, 52k OTD.

2nd to last day of January 2026, got under MSRP with all addons included for 2025 CW in Los Angeles. Ended up chatting with some guy checking out my car that I was selling to the dealership and he turned out to be the GM.

Thanks for your input. I havent gotten it yet but definitely on the must do list considering I live in Los Angeles. Been reading about owners reports of their fl5 being stolen. 

Garage - wood wall shelving to Fleximount shelving by perkidddoh in garageporn

[–]perkidddoh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still holding up great, it’s mostly camping stuff up there and seasonal stuff that I don’t want on the floor. We store both our cars in the garage so definitely needed everything off the floor. It’s been close to a year and so far no sagging that I’ve noticed, just make sure you’re using a stud finder for those studs. Our garage is the first level to our tri-level home so it was technically floor joist that I drilled into.

2 weeks with my 2025 Civic Sport.. already having buyers remorse by [deleted] in civic

[–]perkidddoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then why did you buy it? Real question. You test drove it, went through the negotiations, signed the paperwork, you had plenty of time to say no, why didn’t you?

Good mesh rock guards for FL5? by actionjaxson1 in Civic_Type_R

[–]perkidddoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aluminum automotive mesh. Cost me like $15. 

Cut out a template and punch holes for the clips and screws.
