  1. Anyone else notice a difference with Costco gas?

    Interesting. We have a Costco w / gas not too far from us...maybe I'll give that a try next. Definitely didn't know about the immediate detergent mixing.
  2. Anyone else notice a difference with Costco gas?

    Ran a bit of an experiment and added a couple gallons of 100 octane to 10 gallons of 93 to bring the overall octane a bit above 93 to check knock control levels. I usually always use Citgo gas, but had to use Sunoco to get the 100 octane and used the 93 Sunoco to fill the of the rest of the...
  3. FS/WTS: OEM Sedan Touring Wheels $600

    Assuming these are sold? Not sure if you have the time / ability to get a FedEx ground quote for shipping. Slap the labels right on the wheels and ship away! Sadly I'm in MA so meeting locally is a bit of a non-starter...
  4. Winter Wheels / Tires - Everything you want to know

    I hear what you're saying, but I think that speaks more to your skill rather than the rubber itself. The FT140's are not that good in the snow. Could I manage through a winter with them? Yes, and I grew up driving through snow in New England with a rear drive wheeled car, as did many. I also ran...
  5. Leg room in Honda Civic / car comparisons / what's important to you?

    We've been debating whether or not our son should have a dirtbike. A bit too young now...maybe in a few years. Lessons would be mandatory. Hahaha, the juvenile and enthusiast in me have basically been held back by thinking about my son. We're not poor but we're not 1%ers either. Honda, Volvo...

  7. Leg room in Honda Civic / car comparisons / what's important to you?

    Due to an expected but still painful death of an immediate family member ("natural" causes), I've re-evaluated some things in my life. Son is just a little guy, but I have to consider having a parent with me when I travel more often. Considered allocating some new funds to a new car in true...
  8. Would anybody buy a 2017 Civic stock chrome grille?

    Are you still selling your front grille? PM me if you are and want to discuss it. Truck with a trailer hitch backed into me and cracked my front grille.
  9. Front fascia repair - do it yourself?

    Good advice, thanks.
  10. DIY: Remove Front Bumper/Grill/Chrome

    Thank you so much! A truck with a trailer hitch whacked me and I wasn't sure if I could fix it myself. This post is extremely helpful and I feel confident moving forward. Damage wasn't too bad, but enough to want it fixed.
  11. Front fascia repair - do it yourself?

    Found this damage on my car just a little while ago. To be clear, I didn't hit anything. Also to be clear, I didn't see this damage occur first-hand. However, I came outside to find my car had been damaged as pictured below. This is the truck that was in front of me. The plate isn't pushed in...
  12. Winter Wheels / Tires - Everything you want to know

    We don't have a ton of storage space either but luckily there's an inexpensive storage unit locally that we use.
  13. Winter Wheels / Tires - Everything you want to know

    I'm very curious about this myself...I've read conflicting anecdotes from people. Most of my winter driving will be on cold pavement, some snow every so often, and semi-regular trips to go skiing where there's snow on the roads, so maybe 4,000 miles this winter. Hoping for at least three seasons...
  14. Winter Wheels / Tires - Everything you want to know

    Rarely have I felt so good about a purchase for my car...the winter tire set was worth every penny and more. I was in the car with my son Christmas morning, and there was a sudden and intense snow squall here in northeastern MA. About 6 inches of snow accumulated in an hour - and kept going. We...
  15. Winter Wheels / Tires - Everything you want to know

    Finally coughed up the money for winter tires. Had gotten away with all seasons for years here in New England, but with a son I think a bit differently - not that I was out of control during the winter before. Empty parking lots don't count. Bought wheels from Direct Tire...
  16. Honda Civic 2016- Cabin air filter change/replace

    Yeah, at just under 29,000 miles after 19 months and mine looked not quite as bad as yours, but changing it seemed like a good idea:
