Nuclear power is needed as has been done in France if I recall correctly. They just use one nuclear plant design. So there is little room for design errors to cause problems.

You ask because you care @oldfarmer50 . I greatly appreciate that. The Pilot has not burned 1 single drop of oil as far as I can tell. This is now the 2nd oil change after the 1st incident where the transmission system & emission system lights went on. I think I’m in the clear, but will be vigilant and continue to check the oil level.

And very soon, that model will be here. I already like the current Corolla and how it drives so I think we're about at the finish line here. But, I will also try the CH-R to make sure it could work. But, I'm finally ready so Toyota, start sending your new Corolla Cross out to the market place so I can get one already! I am so ready!!!!

Can’t you switch sides with your wife if you get something a little longer. Her Audi is only a few inches longer than the Golf, right?

@Sandy must have some stuff in his garage that prevents him from pulling in far enough for a car that is a little longer than what he has now. If it were me and I wanted a car that was a little larger than the space I had, I’d do some rearranging so it would fit. Maybe that’s too simplistic of a solution but he’d have to tell us about his situation.

I had the same experience about the same mileage with our Pilot. From the repair around 75k to when we traded it at 150k, no issues, no oil top up between changes.
2018 VW Passat SE w/tech, 2016 Audi Q5 Premium Plus w/tech, 2006 Acura TL w/nav
I bought the Clubman with 104k miles on it; at that time it was using one quart of oil every 800-900 miles. At 107k miles I replaced the valve cover as it was thought that a bad PCV valve(integrated into the VC) might be causing the consumption issues. At 112k the oil was changed, and a non--LL-01 5W-30 synthetic was used(my fault, as I neglected to tell the shop to use LL-01). Oil consumption continued to hover around 800-900 miles/quart. At 116k miles the oil was changed using Mini(BMW) 0W-30. Oil consumption was unchanged until @119k miles- since then oil consumption has dropped to @1500 miles/qt. My guess is that the BMW LL-01 oil may have freed-up a stuck oil control ring or two...

That’s good news. If that were me I’d have dreamt up at least three conspiracies by now wondering where the oil originally went. :@

As I recall, the problem is that the house water heater is installed on his side of the garage and so his space is shorter than the adjacent side.

I think it’s that and maybe part (or all) of the HVAC system as well.
2001 Prelude Type SH, 2022 Highlander XLE AWD, 2022 Wrangler Sahara 4Xe, 2023 Toyota Tacoma SR 4WD
The HVAC (or in FL, mostly AC) can be replaced with the new craze on This Old House, the mini split systems.
I take a light approach to suggesting that, knowing it's easier said than done, but if I'm at the replacement time for either, I'd consider spending for the upgrade to gain the room in the garage.
I recall looking at houses in the late 70s and finding all kinds of obstructions in the two car garages in the houses I looked at.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
The gas tankless water heaters are pretty good, but don't work well with low flow rate appliances such as dishwashers. My parents had to replace one of their tank water heaters in the past year, and went with another tank style heater.

Coolant leak is back as of an hour ago. Already left a message with mechanic about going in either Monday or Thursday but either way, it's getting taken care of this week! no more waiting around! She's on board with it to as she's had enough also.

If you have a tankless hot water heater you absolutely need a good dishwasher that heats the water. It also helps tremendously to run the hot water at the faucet until it’s hot.
I like having one because my wife can fill the soaking tub and we still have plenty of hot water for showers, etc. it’s also very economical. My gas bill was only $22.

more or less. Our home was built during the earlier gas shortage where they banned any new
tap ins.

Saw youngish couple with youngerish daughter testing a new G-Wagon. Parked next to my A7e, the youngerish daughter seemed to like my car. Noted the ADM sticker in the G window, something like this:
Market Adjustment $20k
Security Package $2500
Simonize $1500
So, seems like a deal.
Fintail's checkbook is now out...
'21 Dark Blue/Black Audi A7 PHEV (mine); '22 White/Beige BMW X3 (hers); '20 Estoril Blue/Oyster BMW M240xi 'Vert (Ours, read: hers in 'vert weather; mine during Nor'easters...)
Been a long time that I've been this excited about any vehicle, not since I first drove the Golf back in December of 2014. Holding off trying the CH-R until this chip issue is solved, a $3995 market adjustment fee is not going to work in my world. Paying close to $30K for any kind of Toyota Corolla is just frickin' crazy and ain't gonna happen. Plus have to drive the Corolla Cross first since I just have a gut feeling I've finally found my next vehicle. Then we'll need to get the lease numbers unless they have 0% financing as I'd rather finance this time anyways. No disturbing the portfolio when I get monthly dividends and am still working and getting paychecks. Been years since I last bought and only financed once, back in 1981 with that pre-owned Datsun B-210 hatchback. New wife said no financing as we sat in the bank paying off that $2500 loan. If we don't have the cash for something, it won't get purchased I was informed. Went without a new vehicle for many years until I had saved enough back then.

As my 15 yr old says “stopppppah”
With bloated modern cars, I wonder if these tract builders have expanded anything.
G is something I would special order, using a MB rep if needed - I'd rather wait than buy something with generic spec ordered by a dealer to appeal to boring overmonied people.
Local dealer had a few year old G accessorized with all kinds of instagram-style outdoorsy "lifestyle" bric a brac (as the Toyota 4x4 and Subaru cult locally are into all that even if they never venture past a paved trailhead with food vendors and 5G service - it's all about pretending to be adventurous and active and bold). Naturally it was also overpriced, nobody would touch it, I heard they sent it to auction.

A friend in VA has become a big Aston Martin fan- he keeps encouraging me to buy a DB7 or DB9. I have to say I’ve been tempted. As Jeremy Clarkson said, it's really nice to be able to say, “Darling, why don’t we take the Aston?”

Has anyone ever seen a dealer have a market adjustment on the sticker which is -$10K? -$15 K?
My understanding is if the market were not so good for a model, color, etc., a negative adjustment
would be called for.

And it was Clarkson, when reviewing the XK (maybe XKR), while he loved it, said it just screams "because I couldn't afford the Aston Martin." Which my son loved to quote.
Of course, for the price of the AM, there are a 911s...
I do seem to have a preference for the Brits, though. Don't tell Herr Audi, bitte.

With destination a 2022 Corolla hybrid has an msrp of $24,645, and goes 0-60 in a "painfully slow" 10.7 seconds:
https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a28442604/2020-toyota-corolla-hybrid-by-the-numbers/
With destination a 2022 base Maverick hybrid has an msrp of $21,490. The Maverick hybrid is more powerful than the Corolla and should go about two seconds faster 0-60.
At msrp the Maverick hybrid costs $3155 less than the Corolla hybrid.
The standard steel wheels on the Maverick look old school in a good way to me. I could probably live with a manual seat, but I'm used to adaptive cruise control now, and I think even a base Corolla or Civic get that.

Corolla Hybrid = regular Corolla with a Prius powertrain
Maverick Hybrid = Escape Hybrid with a bed instead of a cargo area and fewer standard features
I think I'd much rather drive the Escape-derived vehicle. With the high cargo load rating, I think the Maverick hybrid would be a perfect parts hauler for an auto parts store, and probably other applications, as well. The 33 MPG highway rating is kind of a letdown, although I think that is a function of curb weight and the aerodynamics and frontal square footage "footprint."
I, too, love the standard steel wheels on the Maverick XL. I think the XL with the 2.0T engine is going to be a sleeper.
Before I forget, I’d like to wish @jmonroe a happy birthday. I missed his anniversary last week (still get a few snide remarks about that) so I didn’t want to screw up again.
