  1. Well it looks like my civic days are over

    On the bright side, I am sure that your dealer would be willing to sell you another one.
  2. 1 thing you hate about your 10th gen civic?

    You might find that you can bend the washer nozzles down a little bit to aim them. My old Toyota had the same problem.
  3. I seen people taking their pet dog or cat in the car/truck with them... but this?

    I really don't want to run over the cargo or the man, so I would drop back about 200 yards.
  4. Should I change my oil?

    I would guess that delaying a recommended oil change might be an issue if you later need to get free repairs done under warranty. By the way, if the MM is saying 15%, you don't have to go in for service right away; you might have another month or more before it gets below 1%.
  5. Use to be quite, now you can hear me coming.

    Yes, push the issue! In a few months the warranty will have expired and the cost of any repairs will come out of your pocket. It might help to take your car to another Honda dealer.
  6. Good wheel covers for snow tires

    Thank you LBP and Dance Off. Since I don't have any way of knowing whether a plated wheel cover will hold up any better, I have just ordered a set of black plastic wheel covers. If they don't last, then I will put {more} grease or protectant on the hubs and run without wheel covers...
  7. Good wheel covers for snow tires

    I have snow tires on 15" wheels, and today I installed them on my 2018 sedan. The fake chrome wheel covers have totally failed after just two winters. The shiny "plating" has turned into some kind of blue green corrosion. Wiping it off with a wet rag exposes the unplated plastic and makes it...
  8. 88 Key digital piano in backseat of coupe

    Oh! I read his post and thought that he wanted to mount the piano in the back of his car. I imagined him driving down the road with a personal musician sitting in the back seat playing requests... :rofl:
  9. My Civic players unable to play all mp3 songs

    It sounds like you need "drivesort" or something similar, as explained here: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/usb-thumb-drive-playing-sequence.4428/ There are other threads on CivicX that discuss the same problem. With a regular thumb drive I had a lot of trouble. Songs would pause midway...
  10. Tire options

    Since you live in a snow belt, you have more reason to buy snow tires than most people. On the other hand, lots of people get by all right with all season tires.
  11. OEM wheel nut seats vs aftermarket

    I bought four Honda steel wheels for my snow tires. That way the same ball seat nuts are used for summer and winter. Anyone who goes to a shop saying, "Please install these snow tires using these nuts" will eventually be disappointed.
  12. What to do with the car while I'm in college

    My advice would be to not make the mods until you have time to fiddle with them and enjoy them.
  13. Can Abusing a stock car really cause issues?

    Let's put it this way: if you took your car to a track and drove it like a race car, you could wear out the tires, the brake pads, and maybe even the brake disks in just one day. And it would be fun. Unless you hit something, the rest of the car would probably hold up pretty well. Many of the...
  14. Suggested Winter Tires and Wheels

    Some aftermarket wheels use "conical" lug nuts vs. the OEM "ball seat" lug nuts. Considering that some mechanics don't follow instructions and that some owners don't install their own winter tires, you might want to buy wheels that use the OEM lug nuts. Also, some aftermarket wheels are not...
  15. Special TPMS Calibration Mode

    Oh, I hadn't thought about that. You and Pumpkin must be right.
  16. Special TPMS Calibration Mode

    Sure you do. All of the tenth generation Civics have TPMS.
  17. 2.0 vs 1.5?

    The 1.5T is the fastest car I have ever owned.
  18. Ok, which one of you did this...

    Driving on a railroad trestle is a dumb thing to do. Driving off a railroad trestle is also a dumb thing to do. It's a real life example of mystical Zen wisdom.
  19. Handling in the snow

    I got my snow tires installed at the dealer on Wednesday, the day of the heavy snowfall. Driving to the dealer took a lot of caution, and I had trouble starting out at each green light. Driving home on the same roads but with proper snow tires worked much better! (I already owned the snow...
