    Agreed. Just be reasonable about your start and stop times. I guarantee it's not worse than running a jack hammer all day. Or a stupid fucking yippy dog barking and yipping all day every god damn day.

    Also, check into your local ordinances if you want to be cautious. Some communities actually don't allow construction noise on Sundays.

    My Honda navi had a CVT actually and I had that for a month before selling. Fuel economy on CVTs are cool but I just hate how they drive

    It’s just like any car for me. First time you drive it….it’s weird. But after a while, you get used to it.

    we have a 2015 accord with a cvt as a daily driver for us. It’s fine. I love that car for the mpg. the only issue is sometimes, after the car has been sitting for 2 days or so…when you start to drive it, the “tranny slips”

    It just needs to build up pressure and then it’s fine

    I will say the CVT at higher RPMs are zippy thangs but down low leaves much to be desired. Plob it into sport mode and should be fine lol

    It's always in sport mode. I think I've seen the ECO symbol on the dash display twice. lol

    I don’t want to start another for sale ad for this but if you know anyone that needs a solar panel I’m selling my 100W Renogy panel for 60 bucks.

    Sorry…forgot a photo. D0DCD319-2DDE-4430-B0EA-9A53E9733D84.jpg

    Good point. Plus if I’m having to remove things like the battery to cut it’s going to take me multiple days. I’m definitely not leaving my truck a garage rental place.

    I checked and looks like I am clear as long as I’m not doing it late/early. Plus if my neighbors complain about a couple hours of noise over three years then I don’t know what to say. I even hesitate to use my battery impact.

    Maybe I’ll buy an electric angle grinder to keep the noise down a bit. And then I don’t have to string a cord out of the garage.
