  3. Camper Recommendation for Hybrid 2K towing?

    Have you looked into campers made for motorcycles to pull? They can be surprisingly spacious. They have lighweight, but waterproof tent materials. sometimes under bed storage, and offer zip-on rooms. For a bathroom use a pop-up stand alone shelter and a portable shower and sink.
  4. Local Dealer Vs Local Auto Repair Shop Oil Change/Tire Rotation/General Checkup

    I had my oil changed by a local shop yesterday, after my local dealership could not find my warranties, and three(3) free oil/rotation/general checkups I was told I had. The dealership is up to $149.00 per hour, and I was told it would be two(2) hours, plus they listed semi-synthetic oil. So, I...

    I paid for mine in total the day I picked it up. My wife and I owe nothing except monthly pays. At seventy-three I like to stay busy too, but do appreciate some naps, movie and sports time on TV.
  6. No longer in the MTC.

    I wish you well with that,........but my best man has had two years of problems with his Ranger. Since he doesn't need the extra weight cabilities of the Ranger, he is considering going back to a Honda Ridgeline, of which, he has had four since their introduction.

    In Ohio the $500 would have to be listed as : additional dealer profit, or something similar . The document fee is ridiculous. That crap is all on computer, and is spit out like bad chewing gum!

  10. New Owner! 2026 XLT Hybrid. Road trip tips?

  13. Spotted this classic keeping its cool… 🕶️

    I bought a Pigenus Sunshade for my 2024 Honda HR-V from Amazon. It has four layers, as opposed to one or two on competitors shades. It keeps the heat from transferring through the shade. The best part; it keeps the dark dash and steering wheel from getting hot. I don't really need one in Ohio...

    I will go back to NWOH soon to a 24 XLT hybrid, with a full tank of treated gas. That should last me 4-6 weeks of mixed driving. I would expect gasoline prices to drop back considerably by then.

Recently, I bought their...
