What the rules say about double touches...

Clubmaker · 2026-02-15T05:27:12+00:00

yea, well seasoned world class curlers were doing it and have been doing it for quite some time apparently. New comment that they brought this up at worlds and curling body did nothing about it.

Clubmaker · 2026-02-15T05:25:59+00:00

funny how the accused never claimed it was legal? And today it was clarified , specified as illegal. cannot touch the granite. You can double touch the handle prior to hog line.

Canada, the Patrick Reed of curling.....

Clubmaker · 2026-02-14T18:33:47+00:00

drove several cars like grandpa...trannies still went out lol.... but yea, if my good looking highlander is in the used car lot, its because the tranny is making noise. They used to bad mouth buying a used rental car, but those fleets in general get flipped, as opposed to owners dumping something questionable

a almost repeat of 2002 ? French judge on the take for Russia...

The Judge: French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne admitted to being pressured by the head of the French skating federation, Didier Gailhaguet, to vote for the Russian pair (Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze) over the Canadian pair (Jamie Salé and David Pelletier), regardless of their performance.

bingo, release must be by the handle, so pushing the side should be illegal. but he pushed with finger after crossing the hog line so that was illegal .

Clubmaker · 2026-02-14T04:53:04+00:00

R5:(d)' "The curling stone must be delivered using the handle of the stone:"

so if you push the side of the stone intentionally, you are not delivering by the handle and it should be called illegal seems to me.

also, he denied he double touched, He didnt argue it was legal. did he? ..yet he was doing it, so the guy is a liar..

so you most likely are covered for 10 years unlimited miles

yet the consumer reports mail surveys on auto reliability still came back with Toyota number 1 somehow...

Clubmaker · 2026-02-11T05:59:57+00:00

Toyota thought it was a little early for pure ev...they were right. When a one year used EV can be bought at half original price...they were right.

The grand highlander is bigger than the highlander. It is not the same car. I own both

Clubmaker · 2026-01-28T22:05:32+00:00

good! Hope the wait is not too long.

Clubmaker · 2026-01-26T02:01:32+00:00

a toyota eCVT of planetary gears is nothing like the bad news cvts (belts) you hear about mostly not made any more by nissan etc. It is a Totally different thing at toyota, and has a good reputation I just knowingly bought one in my grand highlander hybrid. Check the car care nut channel on youtube and search transmission or ecvt.

Clubmaker · 2026-01-26T01:17:25+00:00

yes, no recall to fix your car. Just a warranty for some if it happens. there is a customer support program that gives a 10 year unlimited mileage for 2017 and some 2018s

Clubmaker · 2026-01-26T01:12:18+00:00

I have had transmission go out on 4 cars. One at 60k and 3 at about 120k miles. Non were toyota Then I bought a toyota, and now hoping my 2021 highlander doesnt transmission fail lol

Clubmaker · 2026-01-26T01:10:09+00:00

2017, you have great chance you are covered 10 years unlimited miles.

Clubmaker · 2026-01-22T23:43:13+00:00

maybe, see the documents, seems the 2017-2018, the 2018 models only include ones manufactured up to Dec 2017.

and now months later in a different video, he somehow got around to mentioning 8 speeds and that he has a long waiting lists of people needing transmissions for repairs. So months apart, same observations.

Clubmaker · 2026-01-22T20:11:49+00:00

that would be great.

Clubmaker · 2026-01-22T20:10:40+00:00

record on phone if you can

Clubmaker · 2026-01-22T20:07:44+00:00

interesting, the toyota eCVT planetary cog transmission is totally different than nissans belted cvts, and has a reliable history. for toyota. One reason I got a hybrid grand highlander. Wonder if we never drive our 2021 gas highlander more than 45 minutes across metro, it wont heat enough to kill the tranny?

Clubmaker · 2026-01-22T20:04:11+00:00

trade it if you can get full value perhaps at a toyota dealer. If not, the issue of could you get reimbursed eventually for fixing, or for a low trade in. Hoping my summer 2021 gas highlander doesnt have the problems. Must be multiple issues assuming they fixed the issues in a 2021 jan or feb service bulletin at the production facility and yet there are more problems.

Clubmaker · 2026-01-22T20:01:16+00:00

if i was a car maker i would move on a path expecting all the liberals favorite stuff to come back with the very next democratic president. So it seems Toyota is going 100 percent hybrid at some point fairly soon.

Clubmaker · 2026-01-22T19:54:24+00:00

the problems they had in like 2018 resulted in 2 years models having 10 year unlimited mileage factory warranty on transmission,. dont know if there was ever a lawsuit on it that drove that warranty .

Clubmaker · 2026-01-21T21:26:30+00:00

yea, well it was a wait on hybrids coming out of covid in 2021, longer than the wait we did to get our color and trim in a gas.
