I have had two car seats in my 16 CX5 - a rear facing fit2 from Chicco and a booster with the back intact for my 5 year old - its graco or a generic brand. I ferry both my kids one rear facing and one in the booster to school, I once sat between the two car seats while waiting on my wife - my...

That is cool, I also plan to note my Microsoft Office Key from my Windows 7 and use it to obtain Office 365. I found these set of instructions and like it very much...

Thank you very much for the replies. I have this model 2.5 inch HDD WD WD5000BPVT24HXZ 5400RPM 500G HDD. So I believe a 2.5 inch SATA III should fit. I found two on Newegg that I liked https://www.newegg.com/adata-su630-480gb/p/1B0-0006-00197?Item=9SIAJNU8XH3650 for $57 and...

Hope everyone is doing ok during this crisis. Due to lockdown I had to pull my old 2012/13 Lenovo Y580 out to help my kid do her studies. We opted out of getting a loaner from the school district as we knew they would have thousands of people requesting. The Y580 is probably one of last laptops...

The cars I have owned in my life 2001 Corolla 2007 Scion tC 2013 Corolla 2015 Camry and 2016 CX-5. I am not in the market for anything German and mostly will never be unless I start doing my own maintenance and even then nothing that Competes with CX-5. Mostly would lean towards cars that are a...

I filled at $1.81 in Dallas area. Lowest in last few years was 1.68 in Arlington. I think Arlington Costco now would be under 1.50. Terrible times for all. Stay safe and care for each other.

This morning I broke my own record of 37.4 mpg by a big margin which I thought was not possible. Here are some of the things I have observed about 2.5NA 1. Sweet speed is mid 30s, after that rule try keeping it under 65 2. I accelerated during downhill runs and bled speed during uphill climbs -...

CRV will have same hybrid drivetrain as Honda Accord - 212 hp and 232 lb ft of torque. Hybrid Accord does 0-60 in 6.5 or so seconds, expect CRV to hit 7 or slightly under due to aero dynamics and weight. On mpg front I would think 40 or so is possible. I am impressed with the Honda Hybrids but...

Navigation card is worthless if you have Android Auto which you should. Only use I have for Nav is if I know the route but need to see the street names - I turn the Nav on. It has no traffic live and will not redirect if there is an accident or something. It also has a 3 year update period - you...

I am planning on getting a door protector transparent plastic of some sort just under the Mazda logo above the backup camera to see if it would bead water directly away from the camera and to the ground. Other than that Rain X etc are temp solutions. If its misty rain - my backup camera is useless.

I have a 16.5 with 38K miles on it and have had this happened twice I believe. Not normal at all. The car should not lurch forward in normal operation. If it is happening every time - I would see if you can reproduce it at the dealer. There have been issues with TX switches but this seems...

The best prices I have seen on EVs was a group buy in California for Leaf SV (middle trim) for 11K after all said and done. Another was $14000 for VW e-Golf after rebates from CA / Feds and VW. If possible I would love to get a B Class electric, they are used under 20K easily - but that interior...

There are certain profiles that get charged more. Its basically - if you can afford to pay 100 for this service, it is 100 dollars for this service. Buy a banged up old car and compare its liability with your newish car liability. The old car is a bigger risk than newer car.

They kicked because it was a 3rd claim in 3 years. Which is true - it wasn't my fault. I just parked in a hospital and when I came out bang it was damaged. Hospital would not give me any video etc. No co-operation. SF did not bother verifying the guilty party but said we cannot renew it.

General rule for me is if book value is under $12000 - I take liability only. My first car in 2011 was a 2000 Corolla with 133k miles on it and $30 ish for liability. Right now I pay $2100 for 2 cars and 2 drivers + AAA membership included. My rates were really low until few accidents. State...

I put 36 psi on all 4 tires. Having said that I need to do a tire pressure update.

2017 CX-5 has a Kuroi sports pack sold in EU / Australia and Japan. Basically covers for your rear mirrors / wheels / strips running along front and back of the CX5. 2017 looks good, should be same for 18/19. I believe cost is in the $300-500 range excl. wheels which are probably 1200+.

My 2nd car is a 2015 Camry SE. Here are the issues I have had with it 1. Exhaust heat shield - metal on metal corrosion in 2017 $150 repair 2. Infotainment touch screen not responsive - Had to pay some as car was outside bumper to bumper. Toyota knows this and no recall yet, they covered some...

There is a huge problem with Rav4 Prime before it even hits the dealers - the hype. People quote Rav4 Hybrid price difference but dealers are discounting the regular Rav4 a lot more than Hybrid. They don't have to discount the hybrid because there is a queue for these. Rav4 Prime will also fall...
