If it makes you feel any better, I think the factory Toyota battery's rated CCA is something in the 300s. It was pretty wimpy, but it survived a solid 5 years and harsh winters before it gave out. I never had any issues until it hit -20 during the winter and that's when it decided to go, "Nope. Not today."

X5 has proximity access now where you don't have to touch the handle to lock/unlock. It's suppose to lock and unlock as you approach the door/leave the car.
It would explain why they would cost cut the handles since most ppl don't use them anymore.

Patched a big nail type of hole in my silverado, I'm guessing the nail came out once it was flat. Flat 10 ply tire was loud, survived a couple blocks driven on flat, tire was hot but not visibly damaged. I got the flat friday afternoon in the bad rain, stopped to put on spare in front of a firehall. I hoped nobody would come out, nobody did. I was thinking I would probably help somebody if they had a flat in front of my place.
Also changed a front bearing in the TSX today, the bearing was fine but the magnetic encoder failed. Figured I better do this before the bad weather starts. Fixed a side skirt rattle while it was in the air. Best beater ever.

Lol it was an arbitrary 382 CCA or something like that
Even a 51R battery for a Civic was 410 CCA

Something went out on an Acura? I don't believe you.

Specifically on a TSX too. If it was a 1G TSX then it's fake news indeed. Stuff that JD Vance would say.

^They're like a few bucks on Aliexpress - cheap and practical for cars that don't have dedicated holders otherwise. I first had them as an Volvo OEM accessory and got hooked.

Euro style blind spot mirrors is a great quality of life mod. Came from factory on my SAAB but not on the Mexican Golf.
Bought a driver's side blind spot mirror from AliExpress and my only complaint is the heating coils inside don't get as hot as the factory ones.

Been a few months now. If my allocation didn't come through, was actually cross shopping between the Integra Type S and LC500.

To be fair, I would have been looking at the used market for the LC :-P
If it wasn't the FL5 to keep for the long-haul, it would have been the NA V8

LC for sure. But what good is the value hold going to be? It's not going to hit Ferrari or LFA status anytime soon. Or ever. (Sorry Badhobz)
Type R is dime a dozen and lower cost of entry.

Really?
A/C compressors and 6MT front axles went out pretty regularly on the 1G
Not to mention front rotors and control arm bushings
