Really want to get different bumpers for my truck. Just too cheap to fork out $2-$5k on them. Maybe once my buddy gets his welder I'll see what he can do. Or maybe there's a shop here in Central Florida that'll do it. Just tired of having weak looking stock bumpers.

Those of you who replaced your light bulbs with LEDs what brand did you go with? Not looking to do headlights, just tail lights, driving, 3rd brake etc..

Looked at the salvage yards website today, they have four different trucks there I can get parts off of. Hopefully either going there tomorrow or Friday.

My 3rd and final seagate 3TB HDD is failing. I don't think the turds lasted 3 years even or maybe this final one lasted 3 years I know I bought them black friday/cyber monday. The other 2 sure didn't make it, they failed earlier this year. Short day at work today we're starting to wind down a little it seems.

Seagate is not what it used to be

StinkyCheese · December 29, 2016

None of them are.

I moved on. I'm starting to replace my small drives with San Disk 960 GB SSD

I would but large capacity SSDs are no where near cost effective yet and 960gb is too quickly filled for my uses. Oddly enough my windows drive is a measly 128GB Samsung 830 SSD

Okay, so I just saw something online about the 2017 CR-V. Has the 1.5T from the Civic. Look at the specs, they still use the .24 in the he base model.

2.4 has 184HP and 180 TQ, the 1.5T has 190 HP and 179 TQ.

Another fail of the new wave of Turbos? Why even......

On less size and if driven normally it should yeild better mileage which is what a lot of people want.

Seagate has a pretty high failure rate. I have Western Digital for my Xbox One.

The seagate hooked to mine has been going for a year.

So far so good then. Damn things cost too much to fail all the time.

Planned obsolescence. Everything has a lifespan. Just find what you are comfortable with. If I get 3 years out of a drive that sees continuous use I'm happy. If I make it out of the warranty period on some things I am happy.

Yea that's about what I'm hoping to get out of my drives too.
