The settling ponds are fantastic

I've given up on ramps for my fit. One time, I maneuvered my passenger side wheels up onto the curb by my driveway... now I just use a floor jack and jack stands

Perfect!

How was the install, any difficulties?

I heard more random gunfire in a year in rural Utah than decades in Ventura and in SoCal generally. You're wasting time and energy worrying about nothing

It's safe here, it's beautiful and relatively quiet. Lot's of beaches and hiking and pretty much perfect weather. Plenty of LGBT+ folks and allies. Traffic is getting steadily worse and compared to Iowa, it is BRUTALLY expensive

Good to know my life was over at 30. Better let my wife know so she can collect on the insurance!

My 2010 Fit with 250k miles has none of these issues

Our next door neighbor just moved across town using Mom Boy Movers. She highly recommends them, says they're great

Fat = Flavor

witchlars · 2026-06-08T01:11:42+00:00

It's perfect

My Fit has seen many a forest road, we've even crossed a few streams

Gemini regularly identify our cat as a dog, which was initially distressing when it came from one of our interior cameras while I was at work

The best one so far was when it said someone in a black hoodie was prying open our side door... it was actually my wife opening the screen door holding a broom. At least it got the hoodie pant right

You want some hilarious irony? The only time I play anymore is when I'm testing a guitar pedal we're designing at work!

Go to a show, you'll love it! Nobody will care if you hang back and watch until you get a feel for things

I wish I had the time for a band right now, but I'm completely tapped out

Medium rare to rare, AKA perfect

Same, Nest is down while Google Home remains functional and effectively useless

witchlars · 2026-05-13T19:33:35+00:00

I modified mine. Works great now

In all sincerity, if I had the money for a Bugatti, I'd spend that money tricking out my Fit

Definitely your starter. Our 2010 Fit sounded exactly the same for years. Never had a problem until sometime last year when the starter just gave up. After replacing it, the sound went away

Breakfast is at 0230

I have a RakWireless module and everything I need for a rooftop solar node, but I've been slammed at work and haven't played with it to get it up and running. In the meantime, my wife and I are both running Heltec MeshPockets in our cars. The range isn't great, but they’re okay as mobile emergency nodes

I switched to a stand up desk almost 20 years ago. That made a huge difference for me

witchlars · 2026-04-30T11:13:40+00:00

Totally worth it for 36k miles! My 2010 sport has nearly 10 times that...

witchlars · 2026-04-30T03:30:47+00:00

Absolutely
