Where is your Frankenstein trash can? 3. You must add a cool paint job on this beast, think red, white and blue (like PBR)…?? 4. Loving your new sound effects system to describe the sounds of the top flapping thing..😅 I almost peed my pants laughing!! Good thing Biden showed me how to “depends”….😊5. Kitchen thing only really needs a cooler to hold PBR…. You can pack a rocket stove to heat food if the engine won’t heat up the crack chicken…. Because there are restaurants along most roads nowadays! Yeah and number 6. Please fix that dimple in the backside!! … you could use some styrofoam insulation on that back inside body frame area!

Never did transmission fluid myself. Used to do my own oil changes all the time, until I had a compromised container break and spill oil everywhere. I figured I wasn't saving too much on oil changes and if I take my car into the dealer they will wash it for "free" since I bought the car there, so I figure that's about a $20 savings compared to doing a car wash around here so the spread gets really thin. I've been fortunate to have a pretty honest Honda dealer here so I give them more service related business. Plus they usually have free donuts, coffee, and snacks so I take more than my fair share which reduces the cost spread lol. These Honda CR-vs are pretty amazing vehicles though. I bought my 2016 model in 2018 with 9k miles on it, it now has 53k miles and my average cost including one set of new tires has to be around $100 a year for inspections and small stuff. I still have yet to change the brake pads which just blows my mind.
@TomsTinkeringandAdventures14 күн бұрын
I have not done brakes on ours either, think it’s at 70k miles? Great vehicle so far. I should see what my dealer charges for this service. Sometimes you’re right, if you have a coupon the basic service is reasonable.

The thing I hate about Go Pro is the bubble effect they give, I hate it. The other thing, it sometimes doesn't record when it's supposed to and the sound sometimes does not capture when it's supposed to. Not a big fan of Go Pro so it would be nice to find something better. Glad to see some other camera companies that are good coming out. That camera might not be high quality enough to cut the mustard.
