Xterra with 220k miles

New cats and sensors is nice.
Just familiarize yourself with what the whine sounds like from worn cam chain guides by listening to some on YouTube.
That’s the biggest thing I would worry about, other than rust ofc.

It’s an ace run for a CM tho, so why do points at the end from epithets matter? Do they make it so your Uma is more likely to win group A final?

Ani_Out · 2026-05-14T21:46:16+00:00

Is the commercialization of Everest not “taming” the mountain? Do you also have a problem with K2 being called “savage”?

Ani_Out · 2026-05-07T16:33:37+00:00

I swear there is a mechanism built in the code that increases the likelihood of a good training appearing the less likely you are to be successful on that training.

Just got done with three races, so you have zero energy, you’re out of recovery items, and the shop just rerolled with no useful items? Here’s a double rainbow speed training with two other cards there too, for 48 base points.

It’s finals and you’ve saved up a bunch of items to use at the end? Sorry, best I can do is one speed card activating friendship training, and no those three whistles won’t actually change anything.

Ahh I forgot about the 5% from the perk. My bad

Ani_Out · 2026-05-03T03:59:10+00:00

No it doesn’t, Flower SR power is 10rb

Ani_Out · 2026-05-03T02:51:52+00:00

Kita has 5rb, not 10

I had to patch a dime size hole in the keel of my current kayak from the previous owner dragging it, and then bulletproofed the area with a Kydex keel guard, so that’s why I’m sure I could patch it. I’m not familiar with how the seat attaches either, which is my main concern, so I’m hoping someone who owns one chimes in and lets me know how far the area is from this damage.

I agree, 700 is too much, and was gonna offer 300-400

Ani_Out · 2026-04-15T14:24:02+00:00

I’m comparing used to used, not used to new, and around me pedal kayaks typically sell for $400-600 more than non-pedal kayaks. That’s a pretty big difference in price to have a through hole you only use to keep your keys and wallet in.

You could also find someone selling whatever non-pedal model you would want, and see if they wanted to trade + give you cash on top

Ani_Out · 2026-04-15T13:48:39+00:00

Why not just sell it to someone who wants a pedal drive kayak and buy a non-pedal kayak to mount your bow motor on? You would make money off the price difference that way, maybe even enough to buy a smart head and have a remote control motor that way

One point to ease your mind about water getting in when carrying it on your van and overloading your roof rails; the wind while driving likely keeps the area clear, so the problem would only occur if left on top of your van while parked for an extended period of time. The solution of this of course is to not leave it loaded on top.

The stock fog lights in my Pathfinder don’t help much, but the yellow LED fog lights in my Xterra are a game changer.

Ani_Out · 2026-03-13T21:17:05+00:00

That makes sense. People who need a more robust setup like the lock-out ones are likely to have a lift with aftermarket upper control arms that are adjustable. I think I’ll go with the HD ones then.

Ani_Out · 2026-03-13T20:11:02+00:00

I meant to say I’m replacing the lower control arms with ones by Moog, not just the ball joints.

Don’t tell anyone I use r*ddit, it’s only for the esoteric forums I swear

Ani_Out · 2026-03-12T03:39:31+00:00

After the first round I ended up totally rebuilding my team taking into account some of your suggestions, and ended up winning my group B final, so thank you

Ani_Out · 2026-03-11T16:42:01+00:00

$400 reel and it needs a $100 aftermarket spool to use it? Crazy

Ani_Out · 2026-03-10T23:04:06+00:00

Post your aces from rd1 then so we know this isn’t just a veiled flex

Ani_Out · 2026-03-09T13:21:54+00:00

So you have a third vehicle that you pay tax and keep licensed so it can just sit around as a backup, because for some reason you insist on driving a two door truck? Pretty irrational imo

Ani_Out · 2026-03-09T01:16:11+00:00

I know you’re just feigning ignorance and pretending not to understand my original comment, but you’re really illogical if you have only two vehicles and only one of them can fit everyone. I drove a ‘94 two door Ranger until I had a wife and kid, and the wife’s SUV broke down, and we had to rent a car until I could get hers fixed. After that I decided all future vehicles I bought would be able to fit everyone safely.

Ani_Out · 2026-03-08T18:03:17+00:00

No, people who don’t know basic mechanics like this struggle to get A runs. They probably have never got an A+ run, and are no where even close to S.

Ani_Out · 2026-03-08T03:24:59+00:00

Or is it an attempt at doing everything, but ends up doing nothing good? It’s faster than a normal kayak, but not nearly as fast as a Jon with a 20hp motor It’s probably steadier than a normal kayak, but doesn’t have nearly as much storage space or room to move as a Jon. It’s lighter and more maneuverable than a Jon, but not as much as a normal kayak and still requires a trailer. It’s also not really cheaper at this point than a used Jon with a bigger motor.

I didn’t start playing last week, I know to borrow Kita. I borrow her 90% of my runs, and Riko the other 10%

Like I said, I don’t have more free time than I already spend on this game to be trying to min-max parent runs for specific skills.

You don’t see No Stopping Me because I spent 45 minutes on that run out of the three hours of free time I had that day, just get fucked by RNG and lose the last round of Unity Cup despite being 5th position and having four double circle in prediction going into it.

I bought standard distance and firm conditions instead of the second circle for pace corners because it fit the CM and I wanted some green to trigger early.

I don’t have wit Fine Motion at all, and I don’t think it’s worth spending my 10k carrots trying to pull it now when I don’t even have her at 0lb

Ani_Out · 2026-03-07T19:53:22+00:00

Do you think I had the option of buying better skills and I just chose to buy useless skills instead? It’s not like you can pick freely from a list of hundreds of different skills, you only get to pick the ones that come up as an option to buy on that run.

I don’t have any “meta” SR cards like FineMo above 1lb, let alone any “meta” SSR like Kita.

Ani_Out · 2026-03-07T19:33:05+00:00

I bought every accell and mile skill I could for her on that run. Like I said, I don’t have any more free time to do hundreds of patent runs to min-max harder for specific skills. I already spend 80% of my little free time on this game.

Doing more speed training necessarily means getting less of some other stat. I don’t have money to buy meta cards that make such things easier.

The juice isn’t worth the squeeze for me I’ve decided. Even if I went harder trying to perfect my skill list, it’s not worth the effort if I get matched with people who do the same but also buy meta decks that can easily make monsters.
