Recently bought a 2012 Honda Civic EX Coupe, and I want to get a portable android auto screen with a backup camera. I'm not looking to spend hundreds of dollars, I'd prefer to stick right around $100 or less. I don't care about independent app usage on the screen that some offer, I only care about the screen mirroring with android auto + the backup camera. I'd like it to be at least 10 inches if possible, maybe not at this budget I don't know. Any advice?

I'm buying a 2012 Honda Civic Coupe EX for $8000 at a local dealership. It has 120k miles, good maintenance history, and the PPI came back decent, just needs some tires (and a few other small things that I can do myself) which I added to my loan so the total retail price (before tax and warranty) of the Honda is ~$8,300. Thoughts? In my area, this was a unicorn among shit, so I'm happy with what I got; but I'm just curious to hear what other people think. The market around me lists Hondas like this with similar mileage at $9000 if not higher, as unfortunate as it is

I'm taking the upcoming weekend to visit a few dealerships to find a car in the $10,000 range as that is the loan I've been approved for. The only problem is I am on a time crunch, and the dealerships are not near my local mechanic that offers free pre-purchase inspections, and I don't have the budget to spend $100+ on PPIs. So, what are the major things I should check myself? I am not mechanic, and I have limited automotive knowledge, but I also wouldn't consider myself an idiot. I just want a checklist of things that would cause me the biggest headaches/cost if its something I can easily check myself, or ask the dealer about.

I read a lot, and many of the books (or long articles) that I read are not available anywhere in physical copy, so I've been utilizing lulu's self-printing service. But I would like to start printing myself at home so I can have better control. So, I'm looking for a printer that's really reliable and can withstand printing thousands of pages with no issue (I don't know if any printer allows you to print 1000 pages at once, haven't used a printer for 15 years so...) What options do I have in the <$200 range?

There's a 2006 Toyota Solara convertible near me with 98k miles for $6,800. Is this a good price? I truly do not need anything fancy in a car, just strictly reliability and low maintenance cost. A low mileage Toyota like this, I feel like, would be perfect. The price just seems a bit high for the year, but again its a Toyota, so I don't know.

I got approved for a $10,000 loan at my credit union. What makes/models should I look for? I know the obvious answers: Honda, Toyota, Mazda etc. But these come with a tax for their reliability as far as I'm aware, and it is far harder to find bargains or good deals on them. Besides those 3 makes, what should I look for?

Details:

- The car cannot exceed 100% of its worth (not sure how this is calculated by them).

- Looking for a mix between reliability and somewhat nicer/newer features like backup camera, Bluetooth, touchscreen etc., but these are not at all strictly necessary

- I would like this car to last me at least 5+ years with minimal worry about maintenance costs and breakdowns of major parts. If that has to come at the cost of not having the comfort features, so be it.

- I prefer the crossover style. Sedans, or at least low level ones, are annoying as hell for me to get in and out of.

I've always been a bit of a casual aimer/fps player but I took pride somewhat in my aiming ability a few years ago. I never played competitive, or at least when I did it wasn't that serious and was on occasion; but I really enjoyed my aiming capabilities, that's what made gaming fun even if I wasn't playing super seriously. Eventually my PC got fried and I was stuck in a bind with a pretty bad setup that made it difficult to enjoy games. Then I started focusing heavily on school and work, so I eventually fell behind completely for multiple years now. I played here and there, but I would take multiple month breaks just because I was busy.

ANYWAY, I now want to return to aiming/FPS games, but now I don't really know how to get back up to where I was. I've been washed for so long (I know some people argue being "washed" doesn't exist, idk) and my mousepad and 6 year old g pro aren't feeling like they used to. My grip and arm placement feels awkward, even the way I'm sitting feels weird even though I'm in the same chair and at the same desk I was 3-4 years ago.

I want to buy a new mouse and mousepad and grind a bit to see how fast I can improve. I've always loved my g pro, but again it doesn't feel right anymore. And when I was in my "peak" I really enjoyed the fnatic focus 3 mousepad, but that's been discontinued and I don't know where mine went.

What mice/mousepads should I look for? How should I get back into aiming? Any advice is appreciated!!

(Also, if I do find my fnatic focus 3 since it should be buried in storage somewhere, what's the best way to wash mousepads? Just warm water and soap or what?)
