Picked up the ride last night. Looks and feels BNIB. The lane departure is annoying as shit. Every time I take the optimum racing line on a curve, it beeps. Lol

The RX were steep....even used. This was good bang for the buck. Wife got used to it already. Win for all.

We are getting about the same fuel economy as my Lexus but the Lexus is slow as tard. Oh well. I look cool at least.

and the lane keep assist i leave off until i'm on the highway. you'll learn to love it, oh you need to plug in your phone? Jesus take the wheel. it's one of the most used things in my car, after a long ass shift and hitting the gym after work im on the empty hwy just lazing back barely driving lol

Q5 at the dealer, getting tint done. Winter tires ordered and ready for pick-up.

- Likely picking up the Q5 next week.
- Qashqai getting Morimoto LED/HID in the low beam projectors this weekend. Delivered and awaiting install/tests.

Did you really get tint done at the dealer? You must like bending over.

Those morimoto are going to look like shit. Are you trying to kill your mother in law?

RX is a bigger car.
Slightly short than the MDX, longer than X5.

Wider and deeper cargo than 2012 MKX(by 2-3") but not as tall.
Maybe because Canadian RXs store a full size spare instead of a doughnut. US version comes with a small spare.
I am sure it has much bigger leg room than the NX. Maybe your loaner had the seats pulled forward. Yes, the rear seats move back and forth.
2018 will have 3rd row seats. RX350L. The rear quarter is extended as well.

Does anything fucking positive ever come out of your (virtual) mouth? Fuck dude.

re: tint, It's called convenience in this case, and just got it done in one shot.

re: LED/HID...As I said.... tests will be done. If it's a fucked light beam, it's out. I have LED and HID to toy with, so we'll see. Just mocking it up, something seems off ...

a) the H11 triple cut-outs when inserting the LED bulb seems too thick, so it's not holding properly in the bulb hole.... (Morimoto 2-Stroke H11 LED)
b) The (LED) plug connector prongs to the OEM wiring doesn't seem to line up -- one has wider spacing than the other..... It looks kinda fishy...

Haven't tried the H11b HID kit yet ... Which is the likely setup for the H11 projector in the Qashqai. (The LED mock-up was just a quickie, was hoping to take a spin out last night...)

HRV at 36k doesn't surprise me.

Someone told me they bought a new loaded CR-V and out the door was 53k.

I don't even know how that's physically possible.

How? I looked into one and was offered the touring for around $35k + freight/pdi and tax. Still a far cry from 53k. From what I remember there wasn't any packages to add on that even came near 5k never mind 10k lol

Unless they also bought all the garbage warranties/protection packages/electronic rust module lmfaooo

there's direct and indirect. hopefully yours is the newer one where you press the button and it resets once you drive it a bit. if not then you have to go to the dlr so they can you a tool to reset it.

The used wheels are from the Elite trim so the oldest it could be is 2016. Is the button just the traction control button? The manual was kinda lacking.

nope, if you have the button to reset it'll have the (!) logo on it, i think bottom left side of dash? i forget since drive so many different cars get freaking confusing after awhile. that's on newer models they have it though. yours should i think. then you just drive the car a bit to reset i believe.

hopefully these help:
