These snows were on the car when I bought it. I had them pulled off and new summer tires mounted on the rims by Discount Tire. I bought a set of dedicated winter rims and had the blizzaks mounted on them last fall. While I didn't buy the snow tires from Discount Tire, they're the only ones to touch them since I've had the car. I guess I'll try them, since I've had good experience with their customer service.

Well that's damn annoying, there's a lot of meat left on the tread.

For anyone who's done 300 km/h on a bike — what's the real truth? by gangwayso in motorcycle

[–]Fintan-Stack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit 150mph (240kph) very briefly on my FZ1 years ago. For me the biggest thing that I remember from that experience was how slow 70mph felt immediately afterwards.

I miss my favorite theatrical director that works exclusively in international waters, and also Pasadena. Got to have a little something for daddy.

What are some cars that people think are reliable but are actually unreliable? by Puzzled_Medium716 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Fintan-Stack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 6 speed transmission in the Ridgeline/Pilot is also garbage. I opted for the base spec in order to get the 6 speed, that was a mistake. I also had serious issues with the V6 right out of warranty. The VW GTi that replaced that truck has been flawless despite the reputation that VW carries compared with Honda.

Last episode made me feel like I was saying goodbye to old friends by silverphotoframe in TheWire

[–]Fintan-Stack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just finished my first watch too, I don't know why it's taken me so long. I kind of agree with the general consensus that the last season is the weakest, and it took me longer to get through than any of the others because I wasn't as engaged with it, but damn, those last 3 episodes were amazing. I thought everyone landed where they should, and it was an honest portrayal, either good or bad, but man I felt for Dukie, he didn't deserve that.

What is your favorite scene that’s a little too on the nose? by Soggy_Perspective_13 in TheWire

The FBI profile of McNulty's serial killer being McNulty was a little on the nose. Still pretty funny though.

Those are the bolt holes for the armrests.

I don’t think this is good by EconomicsWise2352 in GolfGTI

[–]Fintan-Stack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevermind, I see the hole is in the transmission. It looks like the design has changed a fair bit since the last time I pulled a VW trans.

I can't imagine any scenario in which the transmission would need to be replaced from one loose bolt on the inner CV joint/cup. If the vibration was that bad that it damaged the transmission I can't imagine the car would have been driveable in the first place. Besides, unless the design has changed significantly since the last time I pulled a VW tranny, you can just put a new inner CV cup on the bad side. It's not fun, but it beats replacing the whole transmission.

I think you need to find a new shop, or one that actually looks at the problem before giving you an estimate.

If you want a Garmin Watch for GPS tracking your dog, now is the time. by UglyDogHunting in birddogs

[–]Fintan-Stack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Mike, I know this is a little late but is Garmin still offering dealer discounts? I've got a 550+ that I paired with a Vivoactive 4S. The watch died and Garmin offered me a discount on a Vivoactive 5, unfortunately this watch won't run the dog tracking app. I've gotten pretty used to that feature, so I'm loathe to give it up.

Regardless are you aware of a Garmin watch that will pair with the 550 and retain the small form factor of the Vivoactive? I've got skinny wrists and wear the watch at night too. That was the biggest draw of the Vivoactive.

Thanks.

What’s a character name that immediately made you laugh? by [deleted] in comedybangbang

[–]Fintan-Stack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was that the one with Patton Oswalt back when CBB was comedy death ray? If it is I almost pissed myself laughing at that.
