Absolutely! I was just running on the assumption that:
2)For those unaware, a blanket “no” is easier to remember and safer to follow.
3)If you’re in the market for platinum grade cured toys, then you are already well past this learning experience.
Excellent recommendation, I absolutely love that stuff, and a lifetime supply is cheap! The worst part about it is finding a good bottle to keep it in.
Remember kids, silicone lube is not safe for silicone toys.
I’m aware. I’ve been there. Kinda hard to miss em.

I’m thinking that there was a reason for the change; drilling for oil was blocked in the Gulf of Mexico.
Saw him play recently in Alabama. They were selling this phrase on a shirt. Much to my surprise, that shirt was sold out by the time I went to pick it up. I was pleasantly shocked.
“I want to be able to use my expensive hardware for the reason I purchased it in the first place” seems like a pretty solid argument to me.
Enjoy the game or don’t, I really couldn’t care less.
You should give it more time. You are a young, new farmer, and as such, it’s supposed to suck. You’re learning a new trade in a strange place. The game evolves to a point long before the end game where energy doesn’t matter, and the tedious tasks are handled. You will have plenty of time to go do the things you would rather focus on.
That being said, if it’s not your thing, then that’s cool too!
Mine is an NA, '95. I really dig the popup headlights. 1995 was a good year IMO. First year with the bigger 1.8, and still had OBD1.
My brother has an NB for years, so I’ve had plenty of seat time in one of those as well. They feel really similar to the NA, with better suspension travel. Great cars!
Preludes are awesome! I’ve got an old Miata that I’ve had for years, similar situation. I’ve thrown a ton of money at it, full well knowing I’ll never see it back. But she’s mine, she runs great, and I have no intentions of selling.
Steps to becoming a car person: Step one - like cars. Step two - pick up a drug habit because it’s way cheaper than restoring cars.
Lint gets stuck in the base, so the cord will not properly seat. I’ve found that dental floss picks get in there great, and are non conductive.
Personally, I agree with your mindset, but I’m pretty handy with fixing/maintaining my own vehicles. For someone needing something to reliably get back and forth to work/school/daycare, I understand why people don’t go this route. Shop lead times have skyrocketed in the last few years, as have repair prices. Sometimes you just need something you don’t have to worry about.
