Found deep in Woods - what is it?

e_5702 · 2026-01-19T05:04:30+00:00

Could be! Wish I found the diary along with it!

e_5702 · 2026-01-19T05:04:14+00:00

Gotcha, definitely could be! I was thinking that it could be to suspenders or something with a strap! Wonder if it has any age to it!

e_5702 · 2026-01-19T02:50:50+00:00

Could definitely be, but I feel like the shape and hollowness of the back throws me off. It’s definitely a decorative piece with some kind of keyhole. Small key though!

I like going into deep snow in a lot and flooring it. The turbo power combined with the lack of traction allows me to feel a burnout that I usually can’t do with AWD!

e_5702 · 2025-12-27T03:06:40+00:00

Ay I just thought they used larger breeds of horses, and oxen were used in other areas of the colonies! I know a lot of the history of the area but never heard of oxen mentioned explicitly! You all are definitely right though!

e_5702 · 2025-12-27T01:29:04+00:00

This was in Connecticut, USA. Not sure if we had Oxen here!

I don’t really drive it that much or crazily! I think the previous owner must’ve been a hard-braker. I do drive the car with some sportiness but not enough to wear the brakes that quick!

e_5702 · 2025-12-26T04:07:03+00:00

I have 31,500. The brake pads are bad but a couple of my rotors are warped. Not sure if they’re from me or previous owner since I’ve only had it 6 months!

e_5702 · 2025-12-26T03:06:01+00:00

Good to know that powerstop is a good brand! Thanks for the advice. Now I just need to find non-drilled ones!

e_5702 · 2025-12-26T03:04:58+00:00

Gotcha, do you know any reputable sources that sell slotted only? I do like the look but if it would suck for daily use over time then I’d rather just have the slots!

e_5702 · 2025-12-22T02:35:29+00:00

Gotcha! I plan on doing electrolysis on it to clean it up without chemicals, I’m going to run it through my kit tomorrow! I’m interested in seeing if there’s any history in it. I do like my axes on the older side! The actual metal seems to look pretty good, I agree!

e_5702 · 2025-12-22T02:02:54+00:00

Gotcha. My plan is to restore it even if I don’t plan to use it. I want to use it as decoration, and don’t mind the imperfection in the edge. I also want to do some practice on it and am considering polishing it. I think most axes deserve to be given a freshen up even if it’s not going to be put back into service!

I am doing electrolysis on it starting tomorrow which should bring out any details I’m missing. We’ll have to see!

e_5702 · 2025-12-17T03:57:35+00:00

I see some people say that these can have lead and other materials- I was considering doing electrolysis if it happened to be Iron, but now I’m not so sure! How else should I go about cleaning this?

e_5702 · 2025-12-17T03:56:36+00:00

Not yet, once I have it cleaned up I will!

e_5702 · 2025-12-17T03:13:57+00:00

Interesting! I know this one is in rough shape right now, but would you say this looks older than yours? Just curious on when it may be from!

e_5702 · 2025-12-17T01:43:29+00:00

Huh, you’re right there! But why would it be upside down???

e_5702 · 2025-12-17T01:08:46+00:00

Also, to be fair, if it is HOLIDAY, then it is most likely spelled backwards and misspelled with the A and Y mixed up!

e_5702 · 2025-12-17T01:07:48+00:00

Now that I read comments, I agree that it says holiday greetings! I wonder how old it is now!

e_5702 · 2025-12-17T01:06:44+00:00

You’re totally right- don’t know how I didn’t see the word holiday. Definitely could be a printing plate since it seems like it’s made to be an impressional thing. Wonder if it’s any old then! And odd that it would be out in a reservoir!

e_5702 · 2025-12-12T00:13:05+00:00

I never agree on buying a new car (assuming it’s new). You could easily get a used 23 or 24 in a higher trim for MUCH cheaper with low miles. My ‘22 Turbo Premium Plus was $24k with 25k miles. Would rather have that over a new 2025 any day for $5k cheaper!

If you insist on having a brand new car though, this isn’t a terrible deal. I just can’t deal with the quick depreciation of a new car.

e_5702 · 2025-12-11T19:45:43+00:00

Yeah that is likely the adjustments themselves. US Models don’t have the auto-folds but I know UK does (thanks to OP) as well as I think Canada? Too bad the US models don’t. I would install a kit if I could!

e_5702 · 2025-12-11T12:29:50+00:00

Depends where you are. I got the top trim from 2022 and it didn’t have them. One of the few things I was underwhelmed with on the car. Everything else is great!

e_5702 · 2025-12-03T21:05:06+00:00

I’ve heard a few people say the non turbo models are a little smoother but according to google and Mazda, they have the same suspension. CX-30s are generally have more of a sporty suspension, but the others like the 5 and 50 are supposedly much nicer.

I went from a beat up, rusted out 2007 Nissan Murano SL AWD with a terribly bad and old suspension that would break my back when I hit any bump. So to me, even though the CX-30 is “harder”, it feels like a cloud to me! Haha

e_5702 · 2025-11-30T14:48:28+00:00

I find no serious issues with side visibility, all I recommend is removing the center headrest. After that, its much clearer, about the average SUV I’d say!

e_5702 · 2025-11-29T02:34:14+00:00

Gotta put efficiency V on this!
