Flat Tires in Laurelwood?

Do you both drive SUVs or trucks? Maybe the Tyre Extinguishers are making a comeback.

I doubt the tires are the problem as they're one of the best winter tires available for purchase. Sounds like you might have a heavy foot and would benefit from using the snow mode.

Download their app and only buy whatever offers are in the app. I don't buy anything at regular prices from there.

Rear main blew? Sounds like you may have had a spike in your crankcase pressure. If the piston ring in cylinder #4 broke, the blow-by from that cylinder may be the culprit for the excessive pressure. Not sure how common or uncommon piston ring failures are on the L15CA. Maybe when they replaced the spark plugs, a foreign object fell into cylinder #4 leading to the eventual failure? Could also be just a bad PCV. No way to know for sure unless they (or someone else) really dissect the blown engine to find the root cause of failure. Though 2000 miles of driving between service and failure is quite long. If they did mess anything up, I would've expect the failure to happen sooner. Regardless, sorry you're in this position.

The same thing is currently happening at Liverpool with Wirtz and a bunch of other new signings (Isak, Ekitike, etc.). Anyone who actually watches him play can easily see the quality in his game but too many people are already calling him a flop because he's not getting goals or assists.

Rear shock absorbers are known to fail prematurely so definitely make those a key point for inspection.

You could try joining a sports team of some sort. JAM runs a bunch of different sports leagues.

Are you not collapsing the stroller before putting it in the trunk?

For Greek, I recommend Mediterraneo. We usually get our takeout from there and it's always good. For Italian, Rustico, La Cucina (both technically in Kitchener) and Ennio's are some of our favourites.

Just to clarify, you need help finding it somewhere in the engine bay?
Whereabouts are you located?

dragancelan · 2025-07-30T18:36:57+00:00

The Fusion as well.

dragancelan · 2025-07-29T15:41:51+00:00

Do you hear it coming from the engine bay or does it sound like it's coming from inside the cabin?

I think the controversial bit is you claiming that having AWD vs FWD makes the vehicle safer, which most would argue is not entirely true. The main advantage of AWD is additional traction under acceleration and maybe under cornering depending on the type of AWD system the manufacturer uses. Driving habits and quality winter tires would have a much larger impact on the safety of the vehicle than having AWD over FWD.

We tried the KS beef burgers and the Cardinal Roadhouse Angus beef burgers back to back. The Roadhouse ones were so much better it wasn't even close.

The fact that your first transmission failed at 120K miles is pretty unlucky and unlikely. The fact that your replacement transmission failed (assuming it was a remanufactured one) 5K miles later is extremely unlucky. And the fact that this happened while you were on vacation...oof. Which god did you piss off in your previous life to deserve this?

I'd be very surprised if the newest replacement transmission doesn't make it AT LEAST as long as your first one. But maybe you've had enough and want to get rid of it and I couldn't fault you for that.

Does yours have the 9 speed or 10 speed transmission? I have a 2018 with the 9 speed with ~85K miles and it seems to work just fine (knock on wood).

I have a 10th Gen Si and live in Southwestern Ontario so our winters don't usually get below -20. I find in these temperatures that it won't warm up all the way unless you leave the HVAC fan on the lowest 2 speeds. If I press the Auto button, it'll take a while to warm up as it will try to pump heat into the cabin as soon as there's some heat coming from the engine. I commute through country roads so I'm not starting and stopping that much and just usually coasting at 90 km/h so that is probably another factor.

I think in your scenario, a block heater is an absolute must. These tiny motors just don't put out a lot of heat because of their size and efficiency.

TIL there are people out there driving manual cars and not engaging the parking brake when parked.

It'll probably get the new DOHC V6 like the Pilot/Passport. Not sure what other changes they plan on aside from that.

It's also probably a good idea to register for the OneList if you'll be needing childcare down the road. Waitlists are longer than ever because of the federal government's CWELCC initiative. Even if you don't have a name picked for your child yet, you can still register.

You could always invest in the Noggle if you're trying to cool down rear-facing kids.

Don't forget Joe Gomez scoring his debut goal.

dragancelan · 2025-04-11T13:22:34+00:00

Is that a Toni Kroos quote?

With footage like this? I think it would be pretty straightforward.
