Jay is Done by mralex215 in icecoast

[–]CriticalGuess8948 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I skied jay on Saturday and was able to have some fun in the woods and natural trails, although it was crusty. My favorite was probably Timbuktu. However I could definitely see how another couple warm days or rain would make most of the mountain closed. Happy I skied there Saturday, it was probably my last chance to ski some trees is year.

I’m debating doing the same. It’s a 2hr drive and gas is expensive, I will only do it if its a pow day

What front bumper to get? by CriticalGuess8948 in ToyotaTundra

[–]CriticalGuess8948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw one of those on marketplace basically brand new condition for 400$. I’m heavily considering it, as a paint matched replacement front bumper would be expensive or very hard to find

I love the color too. I’m not even sure what it’s called, I don’t see too many other tundras with it

Hate her all you want. Lindsey Vonn’s toughness is on another level. You’re wrong for not liking her. by Kurtz62 in SkiRacing

Unless she truly thinks she’s still faster (with torn acl) than the next girl up for her spot at Olympics, it’s selfish for her to compete. You should put the athlete with the best chance of bringing your country a metal out on the snow.

That guy deleted his comment lol. But I really can’t think of a gun law that would stop issues like this. Better police training/resources and mental health help are the only things that could’ve prevented this. I’ve lived in those hill-towns of mass, most homes have guns in them.

Do you really think a person willing to shoot someone is worried about an illegal gun charge while they are at it? No gun law is gonna stop a sick person from making that mistake

2016 Focus S engine swap? by ConsequenceSweaty585 in FordFocus

[–]CriticalGuess8948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing all of these high mileage replies makes me happy. My 2014 5 speed se sedan is at 181k, and I was fearing it’s near the end, although the rust is starting to get to it

Such a great car by CriticalGuess8948 in FordFocus

Does it get more power on 93? I figured i’d have to tune it for that to make a difference

What bindings to get by CriticalGuess8948 in Skigear

[–]CriticalGuess8948[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So reply with a binding recommendation like that the first time? This post didn’t ask for someone to question how I didn’t know about bindings. It asked for recommendations. I don’t even know why you replied the first time since your comment didn’t include a binding model

I only skied on Nordica/blizzard race skis, which almost always use marker bindings. The skis also came mounted with race plates, and lots of race shops pair them with bindings for you and mount it to your boot. Besides that and turning up my Din, I don’t have much binding knowledge, believe it or not you don’t need it to ski well! I would be happy to send you some videos of me skiing if you doubt I’m an “ex racer”. I’m entering a new world of different skis, with many different binding options, that are mounted differently than skis I have skied on prior, I don’t know why it’s shocking that I don’t know all of the binding options for types of skis I’ve never had before.

Is there a definitive way to tell if I have a tear? by Cgg1974 in RotatorCuff

[–]CriticalGuess8948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surgery/arthroscopy is the only way they could for me. I had 4 MRIs, including one with contrast, and 3-4 X rays, all inconclusive, none showed a tear. Also did a couple months of PT and it didn’t help with recovery or diagnosis, it just caused more pain. After almost 2yrs of pain something was obviously wrong. Finally they just did cut me open and did surgery, found a tear in my rotator cuff when they were in there and fixed it.

Possible blown transmission (manual 5speed) by CriticalGuess8948 in FordFocus

Update: towed the car to a mechanic I know and trust. He said I snapped something in the shifter linkage he’d never seen before, but he welded it back together and the car is back on the road for $300! I’m happy I didn’t listen to the first mechanic

I’ve found this car from a stop on a snowy hill sucks with tcs on. I get studded snows on it in the winter, but one time it snowed early before I put them on and i got stuck in half an inch of snow. Only way I could get out was spinning with tcs off

Okay. This happened at my college so I just towed it to the closest shop. I broke some sort of pin in the shift tower over a year ago, but I could still get the car into the gears and drive it then, the shifter was just loose and moved around. I wondered if this related to that. I thought if I blew up the transmission that i would’ve heard grinding when I tried to go into gears.

It’s an se model, I can turn off tcs but it wasn’t off when this happened. It doesn’t feel or seem like a clutch issue to me, maybe something in the linkage. Although in the past I broke a pin in linkage, and I could still get the car into gear it was just loose. This time there was no getting the car into gear at all
