Boxing day sales was very good this year. Found this online and always wanted such a beast for over 40 years. Crown land camping will be a little brighter this summer.

Sine I installed the new RTX4070 Ti my temps in my case went up. After some research I found it was due to not enough exhaust fans, I only have my AIO as the exhaust at the back of the case. So I purchased a 140mm fax for the back top mount and it maid a big difference in cooling in my case.

Speakers are a pair of Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-600M II.
Samsung Galaxy A54 is replacing my Galaxy A50. Itâs pretty sweet.

This coconut sugar tastes real close to regular sugar in my coffee but I donât use sugar in anything else to further compare differences or similarities more than that.

Those Klipsch Reference speakersâŚI know how they sound combined with the design is pure p*rn for me!!!
Theyâre beautiful, my old (30 years now) and trusty Tannoy Profiles over here still perform to my satisfaction, otherwise, those Klipsch would be my next purchase.

I really like the CRV Hybrid also due to the fact it has the 2.0 litre Atkinson cycle engine but the price was just a little too much for me so i opted for the Subaru Crosstrek crossover SUV.
Congrats!

Common complaint about the CR-V. This is my first car with a cvt so weâll see. Iâm an old guy and my days of pedal to the metal are over. 
For me it was a toss-up between Subaru and Honda.

Me too and I chose the vehicle i could afford without owing my shorts. I do like the CRV and i would probably buy the EX-L Hybrid model but it is almost $10000.00 more with options and snow tires and rims etc. So for now I went with most affordable Subaru SUV type that fit my needs and my budget. I was driving a 20 yr old Honda Accord which i just didnât want to put any more money into it. I let someone have it for the cost of safety which for me wouldnât be worth it and also I wouldnât have to make the repairs yet. Itâs only because it has to be safe-tied for a new owner. Originally there was nothing wrong with it when i first was looking at getting a new vehicle but by the time my car came from Japan i found the steering rack was leaking so it had to be replaced and alignment after. Also they stuck me with ball joints and a control arm even though they had very little play. But, they say it canât have any so they got you. Then the rear bumper behind the fascia was rotting out on the ends so they made me replace that plus the water pump was making noise. I left the water pump and it was replaced a few months after. I have owned the car second hand since 80k and it has been the best car Iâve ever owned until now. But like i say i wouldnât have had to fix most of the stuff except the steering rack eventually. The other stuff could have waited for a few more years except the water pump as it was ready to come apart internally and blow up. The person who bought it wanted it so i said you pay for the repairs for the safety and itâs yours. Itâs still a great car with absolutely no rust but i was ready for a new one.

I think youâll really like it after getting used to how it drives. CVT is definately different but I like my Subaru and their transmissions are bullet proof. The biggest problem is that people take them to these oil change places and CVT transmissions have very specific maintenance requirement in how the oil is changed and then replaced. You first need to stick with the brand of fluid they use. On the Subaruâs they have 3 plugs to drain and refill. One is the drain, one is to fill it and the other is a equalization pressure. It has to be drained then refilled and engine run to temperature with the equalization pressure plug opened to allow excess oil to drain out as to not over fill it and also not under fill it otherwise you end up with damage to the CVT tranny. Iâm sure Honda has some similar requirements.

Iâll definitely take it back to a Honda dealer for service. With my 2015 Ford Escape I took it back to the dealer for everything and found their prices were not drastically different from trustworthy local independents. Hope Honda prices are similar.

While moving the wifi card to the 845 G10 I broke 2 of the captive screw holes in the bottom cover on my Inspiron 7415 2-in-1. So got the new bottom cover in today, which of COURSE means I needed a new skin for it. So I made one.

Ackk! Not that with a CVT too?!? I have a Subaru (Legacy 2.5GT)n but thank heaven it has a manual (6sp) still. I might have to keep it a LOOOONG time!
I was over CVTâs in 1966 - and the modern takes havenât begun to change my mind!

While it is a viable strategy, it rather depends on the quality of the dealer! If you find a good one, all is well. If you are really lucky you will get one that will tell you when things are getting worn - 6 months before need kicks in!
Just look out for the simple stuff you can do yourself (changing bulbs, wiper blades etc) as their prices then have NO connection to reality or value! (example, Iâm old and slow, and I donât fold up well into smaller spaces, but a bulb change at the rear took under 2 minutes even then - not a 1/2 hour âbookâ time!

Subaru dropped most manual transmissions except for the WRX. Most now have CVT. Iâve never owned one in my life although Iâve had lots of standard transmissions. Most manufacturers today are using CVT transmissions so you donât have much of a choice anyway. Iâm quite satisfied. I know there were years when CVT first came out that some manufacturers and certain car years and models had issues. But most today are pretty reliable.

My âback to the dealer for everythingâ statement wasnât entirely true. Iâll continue to do the simple/easy stuff myself as you suggested. However no fluid changes, brake work, real mechanic stuff, etc. Once upon a time I did it all, but Iâm old (81) and from time to time my body reminds me to let someone else do the âheavy liftingâ.
