After I reset everything I still had the tire low pressure light on. I figured "maybe I have to drive a while and it will go off." Nope.
Maybe I have to turn the car off and restart it. Nope.
Maybe a tire is low. Yep
All 4 tires were low. How did changing the battery decrease the pressure in all the tires?

It didn't.
It was a complete coincidence that the light came on after changing the battery.
What happened is.....
It's been about 95 degrees everyday for as long as I can remember. Today it's 70 degrees.
I'll bet in a couple days when it's 95 again my tire pressures will be over 35 PSI.
Because ........ iffen you're driving a MT car and you don't know what gear you are in ...... you should be drive-en an AT car -

UNLESS you are over 75 years old and in that case, it would be handy so as you don't try to start off in 3rd gear - my FR-S don't like that -

Clutch replacement at 74k miles, $1350

Spark plug change, $550

I knew the plugs wouldn't be cheap, but dayum!

No, a private repair shop I've used for 20 years. They are *always* cheaper than the dealership.

Had I checked in advance what it was going to cost, I would've traded mine too before the clutch went out. I didn't expect it so soon. I've always driven Hondas prior to this car and I've *never* replaced a clutch before. I've put up to 200k miles on some of them. I knew the plugs would need replacing at some point, but for some reason I had 100k in my head. It's actually 60k.

Ah got it. I had quotes a bit less than that when I had my clutch done, but worth it if you’ve got a shop you trust and takes care of you. Great feeling having a smooth quiet clutch!

Clutches generally last around 60k. Honda clutches are pretty robust. My GS-R went to 90k before I had to change mine out. I'm not sure if RWD cars wear their clutches out faster.
