I've listened, put hands on different areas of dash...speakers...can't find the rattle. Which is weird as rattle sounds as if it is right in front of me. A few other owners have made similar complaints on a Honda Accord forum. A few saying noise actually originates above floor board in knee airbag territory. Don't know about that. I'll find that noise...one of these days.
That blown tire couldn't be fixed. Didn't want to waste a couple days of vacation messing with it (by ordering a new matching Hankook tire) so bought a cheap tire, replaced it when I got home. Thought about getting the new tire shaved down to match the other front tire, but guy at a brake and alignment shop said it wasn't a big deal as the mileage wasn't that high on the blown tire.

You can let some air out of the new tire to get the circumference closer to the other tires.
The scary thing is the guy replied giving me further instructions.

We've been looking for a house in Ohio and a couple of weeks ago when we were out there, we looked at a bunch of houses.
We were considering a new build in a development and after looking at the site plan, there were a couple lots for sale and another lot not available yet.
After getting back home, we asked the salesperson to let us know when the 'not yet available lot' would open up.
Over the course of the next week, we asked a bunch of questions about the specs and options.
My wife and I went over the option sheet and pretty much agreed on what we wanted.
There were lots of upgrade/customization decisions left to be made, but we figured if we expressed interest, the lot might open up.
Salesperson responded that another agent had gotten the lot opened up and a deposit was in hand.
My wife was really pissed. I was kind of ambivalent, as the builder wasn't my first choice.
I guessing we would have had up to 125k in upgrades over the 326k base price.
Realtor sent us a listing today that is much more expensive but supposedly has 90k in upgrades, several structural(extra insulation, etc..).
Realtor is going to facetime us tomorrow on a walkthrough. We'll see what happens.
I'm guessing the wallet is going to have to open up, but you never know.

The salesperson never said 'What will it take to sell you a lot today?".
at this point we are going to look to sell and immediately buy, so back to resales (or if we get lucky, a spec house). though finding one that somebody bought and spent a fortune on upgrading but had to leave after on a few years can easily be the best financial deal.
Basically what TJC just did!

The house we are going to have the realtor tour for us is new but already built. The pictures look good. HA HA. It looks like a newer neighborhood.
We paid list price, but the house has gone up probably 20% in value in the 3.5 years we've been here.

The stereotype of who is driving those may vary greatly with the area in which one lives. But the van we rented drove so nicely with a strong but economical engine, I've always remembered that when I notice one. Had one today pass me on the way to Chick Fil A (that rhymes).

Wife doesn't really want to wait. 2nd grandchild out there will be born in a few months.
I have been looking at tires on cars going through the double ordering line when we eat lunch at Chick Fil A. We always sit next to the windows to watch the cars and the people.
Out of maybe a thousand or more cars that must have gone through since you bought the Michelin Cross Country tires, I've not noticed one that had them, until today. It was a Ford Fusion of the latest style but a few years on it that had a set on it.
The sample of cars is NOT normal. Many are cars driven by folks who won't be driving in several inches of snow. Many of the vehicles are cars that have to get to work in fairly deep snow conditions and those folks are driving Jeeps and other vehicles with 4-wheel capability or large pickup trucks. They already have a tire that is snow capable.

So I’m sure he’s told you by now that’s it’s illegal to pack a lunch when going to buy a car now.
Congrats on you daughters wedding. I guess you won’t be buying wheels anytime soon.

You ever see any Vredestein tires? I haven't. Think I may go with them when it's time to replace the Accords OEM Hankook tires. The Vredestein tires have really good reviews. Seems it would be a good fit for the Accord.

I have Vredestein Quatrac 5 tires on the Clubman. The Quatrac 5 was one of the newer Grand Touring tires to combine all-season capability with the 3PMSF winter tire capability. I'm very happy with all aspects of their performance.

Ok> @stickguy said:
We so lucked out on our house. The original owners poured so much into this place and didn’t stay long enough to get it out (2 years) They checked every single option box except for the bonus room over the garage which with a finished basement you don’t need.
They also left a fancy washer/dryer and a smart fridge along with custom wood slat blinds in every window.
The only thing we had to do is the white vinyl fence which wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be.
Moral of the story is (IMO) if you are custom building don’t pack on the options unless you are planning on staying awhile.

We traded houses with my mother in 1992; since then we’ve added a deck, replaced all of the windows and exterior doors, finished 3/4 of the basement, knocked out the load-bearing wall between the kitchen and family room, and remodeled all three bathrooms as well as the mud/utility room.
Of greater importance to me, I have a 5.1 HTS in the basement with a 50” Kuro Elite and a 7.1 HTS in the family room with a 75” 4K Sony LED.

Indeed. These are the important details.
We have the dedicated movie room and a nice sound bar with surround in our bedroom but I’m slacking in the family room. Need to work on that

It sounds like you live in a nicely upgraded noisy place.

I can’t watch a movie at reference levels if my wife is trying to sleep- even though the bedroom is on the second floor at the opposite end of the house. The upside is that it sounds better than any non IMAX theater in my area.

The townhouse that we're building, we've added ~8% to the MSRP. Of course, we still need to add washer/dryer and window treatments. And, things only she will think of...
A fond, but bittersweet adieu to my '13 Jaguar XF. And so, I present this laurel, and hearty handshake to the new boss; '21 Audi A7 PHEV. '09 Jag XK , '05 Acura TL, '88 Acura Integra, '84 Mitsubishi Mirage Turbo & '78 VW Scirocco ; all special to me. And, of course, the '92 Nissan Sentra SE-R and '95 Saab 900s I bought for the ex... I've yet to buy a car I didn't like. Although, do I really want to drive a car that would have someone such as me as its owner?
Looked great as it did in the pictures.
Didn't like that the master bedroom area was over the garage and on a corner lot.
Was able to take a tour of a house about to close that we liked much better for us.
There is an open lot a couples houses away, so we are in the process of putting down a deposit.
It's in the same development as we looked at and liked before, but a different builder.
that house also had the master over the garage, but it was never an issue. I don't think I ever noticed. About the only issue could be hearing the garage door opener running.
if you are building new, congrats. Takes longer but get exactly what you want, and they always smell nice!
