Before my wife and I had kids, we always joked around about owning a minivan when we were older. Eventually as we needed more cabin space, the reality of needing to purchase one began to set in. We’d debate back-and-forth over who should drive the minivan. But, in the end it didn’t matter because as soon as we had our second child and knew our third was on the way, we both knew it would be likely that’d we be both driving it.

Unfortunately, the Honda Care extended warranty does not automatically transfer over to the new owner of the vehicle when the vehicle is sold. You must manually submit a request directly to Honda in order to process the transfer of the extended warranty. This must be done within 20 days of the vehicle being sold to a new owner. It also only can be transferred one time, and cannot be transferred to subsequent owners of the vehicle.

I want to offer up our experience as we really didn’t know what to do with our vehicle after it was towed to the Action Towing lot. When it happened to us, I was left trying to find out information directly from the employees at Action Towing, and from vague information I read from online searches. I hope the information in this article helps you if your vehicle gets towed away after an accident and you are left trying to figure out what to do next.

One of the things that has bothered me on my Acura CL-S is that the leather shift knob has been worn down and looks terrible. Since this is a gear knob for a manual transmission, it is something that you look at and handle every time you drive the car. So, I set out to look for ways to address the worn leather shift knob. The task of replacing the leather on the shift knob can seem daunting as it did for me. However, after watching a helpful YouTube video from Luke, it didn’t seem impossible to me anymore. It also was an appealing option to me as I could save hundreds of dollars and still maintain an OEM-like look and feel to my shift knob.

For this guide, we’ll be spraying primer, paint, and clear coat and it will all be done by rattle cans. The 1K primer and color-matched paint are purchased from Paint Scratch, and the 2K clear coat can be found online. Even using rattle cans to spray paint your bumper, you can get amazing results especially if you have a good color match and use a 2K clear coat, which hardens up to a professional level finish.

To refinish a bumper so that it looks new again, you’ll first need to repair the major damage so that it is structurally sound. And then prior to spraying primer, paint, and clear coat so that it looks pristine again, you will have to prep the bumper by filling in the damaged parts of the bumper with body filler, and sanding it smooth.

If you have a cracked bumper and depending on how severe the damage is, you may be able to repair it yourself with a variety of tools and materials. On this tutorial, I’ll be repairing a cracked bumper using fiberglass resin, bumper repair epoxy, and flexible glazing putty. Using each of these various items serves a specific and important purpose.

When I was shopping for replacement HID parts, I found cheaper alternatives on Amazon compared to the more expensive and more well-known brands. Normally, I’d be wary of such brands as they usually tend to be of lower quality and can potentially cause more headaches down the road. However, the cost is significantly less with these budget parts, so I wanted to try some of these budget HID lighting options.
