Way off topic, but I just passed my 1000km break in period, and did an update to ownership on my Cool car Crap car YouTube channel.

One of the things I noted is that the auto sensing speed limit signs work well, except the little red line that appears on the dial speedometer sometimes (and I think only at 80kph, and then only sometimes) will line up at a little below 130kph. A person on my YouTube channel thought the car was interpreting 80kph as 80 mph and converting to about 128mph. Any thoughts? Any else's car doing this??

I watched your video and agree with some of your points. I didn't notice the red indicator being off in my driving the last few days but will keep an eye on it.

Hi @onepointsix, I am new to the forum and looking to buy a FL5. In your above posts, both Maple Honda and Classic Honda show "Trade in". What does that mean? They only sell the car with a trade-in? Thanks.

Welcome! Generally it means that they'll accept a trade in. But there's always dealer shenanigans, so you never know unless you contact them for details. GLWS.

I see, I will contact them next week, thank you!
Not to rain on your parade but Maple Honda stopped taking deposits ages ago. These cars just go onto Cargurus and other sites automatically but are already sold.

Thanks for the info. I do see the car listed on its own website. Will call them and give it a try next week, thanks.

Most times yes, but worth the attempt to contact regardless.

I actually saw the Rallye Red on transport heading to Whitby Honda a day or two ago.

I say call because you never know, especially like that one in Sudbury.
Just dropping by to give you a thumbs up and appreciation for still doing the god’s work bro! 🤙🏿
