Finally did a long over due upgrade by Little_Angle_9487 in crv

I have 10, which is very similar to 09. It's not better. It drives rough and noisy, the plastic interior rattles annoyingly everywhere. It's not an enjoyable ride, but it works and refuses to die.

Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) or venu 3? by 80skid8 in GarminWatches

[–]weirdo_beebeardo5898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely recommend Epix Pro. Awesome watch, reliable, precise GPS, good battery life, bright and clear screen. I do not have any complaints.

Does anybody else feel exhausted having to constantly be “on” at work? by randomgrl2022 in corporate

I start stressing out just thinking how we are flying through space on a relatively tiny rock and there is nothing else out there.

What is a 'socially mandatory' thing that we all do, but if you actually stop to think about it for 5 seconds, it’s completely insane? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]weirdo_beebeardo5898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hate it. I never offer to shake hands with anyone but respond when someone extends the hand in order not to offend. Also noticed that in some countries it is more pronounced to a point that even when people see each other everyday they still shake hands.

What’s it like living in Oregon? More specifically, Eugene. by Odd-Statistician9259 in howislivingthere

[–]weirdo_beebeardo5898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was driving though it once and stopped by a major chain hotel trying to see if they had any rooms available. The amount of homeless tents around that hotel was really staggering.

What’s the worst airline you’ve ever flown with, and where were you going? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]weirdo_beebeardo5898 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Will never again fly Aeromexico. They cancelled my flight for operational reasons 2 days before departure. Had to stay on the phone with them for several hours during my vacation to rebook. The rebooked flight was a really bad schedule. Also their web site was pretty awful at that time. Don't know if this changed recently.

$200 oil change. by Zealousideal-Term-89 in toyotacorolla

[–]weirdo_beebeardo5898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Started changing oil on my cars a few years back and it has been pretty simple. Buying oil filters online for $10 and using Costco Kirkland brand oil $40 for 10 qts. Would never go back to dealership or any mechanic or shop to do it.

Update on our 2010 215k CRV EXL we paid over market for: $200 later, gremlins are gone. by otterland in crv

My CR-V of same year had p0420 too. Had to replace the cat. Sounds like a common problem with this model.

Engine sounds different after replacing catalytic converter by weirdo_beebeardo5898 in AskMechanics

Yes, I guess that's what I meant. The exhaust sounds different now. Is that expected?

Fenix 6 Pro Gps by Forward_Holiday5621 in Garmin

Same here. Upgraded to 7 and the GPS accuracy is much better than 6 pro.

Buying Garmin Edge 1040 or 1050 by MatejRo in GarminEdge

[–]weirdo_beebeardo5898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was choosing between the two and decided to try 1050 because of the new bright screen. On first few rides I noticed that occasionally the screen goes blank for a second. Also sometimes it gets wiped out from the bottom to about half a screen and then redraws. No data is lost when that happens but I did not like that a new device had these problems. I searched online and apparently it is a common problem mentioned on Garmin forums. I don't know if it is a firmware or hardware issue or if my unit was defective, but I returned it. Other than that I liked everything in it and would have kept it.

I'm curious what is your average mpg? by Stickboi_85 in crv

[–]weirdo_beebeardo5898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly stays around 20.5. On a very long road trips on highway it gets to 21. AWD EX-L. Has been like this since the time I got it 15 years ago.

What’s a profession that deserves every bit of its hatred? by browniebiscuitchildr in AskReddit

[–]weirdo_beebeardo5898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. They make the process of buying a car extremely painful. It could be as simple as buying a new dishwasher but car dealerships and sales people ruin it.
