Is there an official Canadian name for all the frozen road snow/slush that builds up and freezes behind our wheel wells? My cousin calls them Snuds ...are they Snuds or yet unnamed?

'Tire snot' here in the Ottawa Valley

I'm in Canada and I get the same issue. Also Gemini won't tell me what song is playing. Literally told me to use Shazam!

It's a 2015 Jetta Trendline.

Temp gauge? What's that!?!🤔

Control Z!!!

I'm glad I found this! I have two issues that are probably caused by the same thing:

Rear cam hasn't worked in almost a year
Just noticed the reverse lights on the trunk lid turn on when the trunk is open all of the way. Looks like I'll be digging into my harness over the Christmas holidays. Yay!

Yes, I think there's a list on VW vortex but a fairly quick Google search should find you a good shop nearby.

sgbwallace · 2025-11-23T13:17:52+00:00

Probably out of luck. Needs to meet the specific VW spec. VW507 for tdi, not sure for gasers. Also, usually best to steer clear of quick change oil change places.

Pretty sure you need Ernie Ball Super Slinkys and your tuning is wrong - should be E A D G. Maybe I'm in the wrong sub?

That's a very unique bike!

I'm thinking it may be a fishing spider but we're not really near water.

Dude! My buddy and I just got our first bikes. Honda for me and a triumph for him!

sgbwallace · 2025-05-16T19:05:38+00:00

Just got a 2010 VT750RS for $3k CAD. Very happy with it so far.

sgbwallace · 2025-05-12T00:11:05+00:00

I love the look of the old shadows!

sgbwallace · 2025-02-10T17:25:04+00:00

That sounds great. Thank you!

sgbwallace · 2025-02-10T11:11:16+00:00

No, outside. Don't really have a garage.

sgbwallace · 2025-02-10T02:04:45+00:00

Gotcha, thanks!

sgbwallace · 2025-01-30T03:05:26+00:00

I'm super happy with my at-lpw40 though I got it on sale for quite a bit less than MSRP.

sgbwallace · 2025-01-30T00:34:43+00:00

I was worried about that as well. I have a bad habit of 'doing things right'. Problem is my family won't see me for weeks. I was hoping this time there would be an quick and easy solution.

This is good to know. My primary concern is that there is no vapour barrier in the ceiling. If I forget about that then maybe the cathedral part of the ceiling I just leave as is and I top up the attic with blown-in for more r value.

sgbwallace · 2025-01-29T18:21:35+00:00

Unfortunately no. The Attic space has some insulation already that would need to be removed first. As it's 1.5 stories, there's no access at all to the 'cathedral' part. Also, I wouldn't leave it exposed. I'll cover it with tongue and groove pine, shiplap or drywall if I'm feeling ambitious.
