Correct. I have since decided to go with the Honda Pilot. It should give me a good ride/handling upgrade from my CR-V and be a little easier to maneuver than the Odyssey.

My CR-V is AWD. The Pilot is FWD. I don't need AWD for south Houston although they are saying we may get a full inch of snow in the next several days. Good thing I still have the set of chains from my trucking days. :)

A Pilot is really too big, as is the Odyssey. I'm flying solo about 99% of the time, with my best half about 0.97% and with she and daughter maybe 0.03% so anything bigger than a Smart car is too big. We could use her car for the 0.03% three seat needs. :) But the longer wheelbase and wider...

After discussion with my local shop I value and research with insurance I'm leaning toward the Honda Pilot instead of a minivan.

Good luck on this unwanted journey. I will be 68 in April. My last PSA happened to be a week ago and it is 0.56, one of the few things still good. It sounds like you have an absolute solid grip on all this and will defeat it without question. One of the best weapons is a great spouse and it...

Yes, my CR-V is a chain. It's the belt in the Odyssey that I'll never do enough miles to change. Unless I live and drive until I'm 98-99 that is. I'm alone driving about 99% of the time, 1 passenger up front 0.97% and 2 or more 0.03% so probably ok on crash resistance. I like that lower console...

I'll never do enough miles to get to the timing belt although that would be a definite factor if I drove more. I've had my car 9 months tomorrow and will have 3000 miles for a year, give or take a mile or three at the current rate. I don't see that changing any. So it would take many many years...

Well, I have a local shop we use for everything not warranty or otherwise free. We pay $90 for a full synthetic oil/filter change. We know it is done right and with A list products. My days of crawling on the ground under cars are definitely gone. I think it's about $40 for air filter but it's...

My dad always used moth balls and it seemed to work. Good luck.

I'm debating going from my CR-V to an Odyssey or a Sienna. I've found a 2024 cypress green Sienna Limited that is a great looking vehicle and comparing with a 2025 radiant red Odyssey Touring. The Sienna wins the mpg fight by a good margin, 36/36/36 to 19/28/22. I drive 98% local short hops so...

I had a Winchester .22 autoloader, can't remember the model now. The local hardware store sold .22LR for 59c a box or 2 cents each if you wanted some but couldn't buy a full box.

I don't think any shotgun looks better than that Marine Magnum. But I don't know that it could do 13+1 either. So looks or capacity/capability.

Yes, they do. But for a kept at the ready just in case option I'm not sold. Having X mags at the ready, each with a different loading, is great in theory but at 03:00 in a sleep stupor I don't see an advantage, at least for me, in having to choose and seat one or the other prior to being ready.

Yeah, I know, broken record. But a magazine fed will never be for me. It negates the capacity advantage of 1.75" shells, if it even functions with them at all. And at least in my mind is more prone to FTF than a millions out there for many decades reliable pump. 13+1 FTW every time.

Oh no! Three intruders! Bang! Bang! Click. Oops. Mossberg 590S 13+1 rounds of 1.75" #4 FTW.

You can never go wrong having too many rounds, only too few.

One good resource for researching to find convenient sources and/or best prices. https://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/PowerSearchNew.aspx

Yes, it says "Hey Mr. Badguy this is just where I'm waiting for you and this is just what I'm waiting with so this is where you'll want to come in shooting." Yes, some will hear that and run. Some will hear that and know the exact hand you are holding. I'm in the do not show all your cards camp...

Mossberg 590S for me. It's designed for the 1.75" shells to function well, giving several more rounds without reloading.

It's no problem if I run over that. It's just laying flat on the ground. What trouble can it cause? OR I follow much too close to the next car so I can't see the road enough so I don't know something is laying there because I'm an idiot driver. SMH either way.
