If you've not done it before, for nuts & bolts related to suspension, I recommend torquing them then using a paint pen to mark the location. This gives you a quick visual reference for anything coming loose.

I checked mine, and it matches the owner's manual I have, which says a 15amp fuse for the fuel pump. I've had to replace other fuses, of which I now keep a suite of spares my traveling toolkit, it's been for shorts that I've found addressed. None for the fuel pump as of yet. I don't think I'd use an auto-reset on the fuel pump, but while you're tracking it down perhaps a Manual Reset fuse would save some frustration. I know my fuse block is rather annoying to interact with, given its position underneath the scuttle.

I bought a CTEK NXT5 in prepping to put in a LiFePO battery, and put my previously mostly dead Odyssey on it on a whim. I checked on it every day, and it kept saying either "checking" or the light that indicates the battery needs servicing. That was until today, when I went to buy said LiFePO. As I went out to the garage I noticed the CTEK said it was on "care" mode, and the battery held 13.5v steady. With my battery reinstalled, I went for a drive without issues. I'll be keeping an eye on this battery for the rest of the summer just in case, but for now, call me impressed. TIL, not all AGM aware maintainers are equal.

Or you can do what I do ... A 7 for the nice days and a Miata for the not as nice days. Such as when it's pouring down rain, or if either A/C or heat are needed.

I've experienced buying on BaT. Sellers make or break an auction more than how BaT rewrites your words. The advice, and more importantly what not to do from above, are spot on. My advice is to be engaged and forthcoming with answers as best you can, and if you have documentation, share it.

It's not me. While I've been out that way in my 7, it's been months.

Normally, I leave the car on a tender if I intend to park it for more than a few days. I accidentally left the key in the ignition and on overnight after moving my 7 around my garage late at night. The previous battery died after one of my kids "helpfully" unplugged the extension cord during the winter and I didn't notice. I've been looking to add a cutoff switch, but had not got around to that yet.

I've apparently killed another Odyssey Extreme battery (AGM16L) by accidentally letting it completely drain. I've not been able to recover it with my agm capable tender above 6v. So... Having done this to a second of these batteries, I'm looking for a replacement. What do you all suggest?

I've had an issue getting gas only once in my CSR, and it was entirely my fault. Someone came up while I was filling up and asked me questions, and I kept going after the first click like I was filling up a regular street car. Excluding that one exception, I've had no issues in MD, VA, and NY.

Earlier this year, I put a few gallons of 91 when I was nearly out and that was the only thing available in my 260. It ran like garbage. No knocking I could detect, but it had a far rougher idle. After a full cycle of 93, it went away. I won't be doing that again if I can help it.

I wear a pair of Wiley X Gravity sunglasses, with the removable head strap and foam gaskets, through Sport RX with my eye glasses prescription. This is the best compromise I've found for visibility, keeping the dust and wind out of my eyes, comfort, and meeting ISO safety standards for impact resistance. They look a little too tacticool, but they are *really* good for what I need. These are highly rated by motorcyclists, who suffer some of the same environmental issues we face. For sun protection, I've found I rather like the fit and finish of the Rabbit UPF hoodies, available through REI. For a hat, my spouse found me a foldable baseball cap with UPF protection that I can tighten enough that it won't fly off as long as I'm under 70mph. Higher than that, I'll take the hat off.

I believe this is the Soft Bits For Sevens half hood with the "easy in" zip sections undone. This is what those look like zipped up.

My diligent guard dog is helping me redo the front headlight wiring.

It should look like this. First is with the nose cone on, and then the second is with the nose cone off.

At a recent Cars & Coffee, the organizers parked me between a Silver Shadow and a 458 Italia.

I own a CSR260. I imagine that long term, we'll be better served by having a distinct thread for distinct topics.

I'm looking to have the beeline like experience on my watch. Maps has an arrow mode, which I've used, but I've not had good success importing GPX files with Google Maps in the past.

Very cool. I put a quick route from near home to a place that has cheap burger specials. This looks pretty straight forward to use. If it's vibe coded, care to share it on GitHub? I'm looking to do something related. I'm looking to build the other side of this, an app that shows the turn by turn akin to BeeLine that runs on Google Watch that supports GPX. Can users see other people's public routes? Can users import routes from other sources?

Blipshift, a "Crowdsourced car shirts, apparel, and accessories" site has a 7 shirt available for the next few hours. The way blipshift works is that people submit designs. Chosen designs are made into swag that is available for a limited time, usually a few days, and the artist gets a cut of every shirt made. Blipshift had had multiple 7 related shirts in the past, and this one is currently available for the next 17 hours. https://www.blipshift.com/products/yeehaw-2

What do you use for numbers? On previous cars, I used magnets which won't work for the 7.

Any idea what UTQG they are going after for their DOT compliance?

Can confirm. My daily is an ND. My Caterham is a much more visceral and engaging experience but it's not tenable to drive hundreds of miles in a single session without significant breaks. With my Miata, we drove from Louisville to DC in a single session, only stopping briefly for restrooms and gas.

I pushed mine outside so I could use the leaf blower to clean out of the garage.

For some, it's the journeys of building rather than the destination of having.

I got vanity plates with what I've taken to calling my 7.
