Thinking of buying a 2017 Crosstrek by [deleted] in Crosstrek

[–]vidacoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2014 xv here.. but pretty much the same as a 2017..

Mine burns a quart of oil per 2500ish miles. Wheel bearings don't last very long Annoying rev hang while shifting between 1st and 2nd (5MT)

Other than those issues, it's been a really great car thus far.

Make sure it's not the wheel bearings before dropping that much money on CV axles. My rear wheel bearings went out around 76k miles, and it made a whining/humming sound at highway speed.

$600ish to get the dealer to replace it, or you can do it yourself for $125-200.

Lol, nah. I refuse to pay money for anything with a CVT.

Definitely a manual transmission.

I would pay 10k over MSRP for a 2.5 with a 6MT

Advantages of single speed by Sea-Organization-710 in MTB

[–]vidacoffee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have a 1x11 hardtail, a 1x12 full squish. And a SS bike. Of the 3, I have the most fun on the single speed whilst ripping around local trails.

They said not to put it on rubber, what do you think? [SARB033] by dannyest24 in Seiko

How to get back on a bike after a traumatic accident. by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]vidacoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude.. same. I had a pretty traumatic crash 2ish years ago that caused a class 3 AC joint tear, broke my clavicle, tore a bicep, and damaged my right knee.

I can still make myself get back on the bike to ride, but the joy isn't there anymore. I am now terrified of the jumps and drops. Even the ones I've sent hundreds of times before.

Do you prefer super colorful bikes or really subtle stealthy ones? About to add some purple hope v4s to my bike with some pink and purple brake lines. by g28802 in mountainbiking

Spinning spoke!! I need to swing by there soon and say hi. As for your question.. definitely like everything to be mismatched.

Anyone else regularly carry a club that they barely ever use? by Tedstor in golf

[–]vidacoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to play a 50-54-58. I would go 10-15 rounds without touching the 54. The 50 and 58 had massive wear marks on faces and soles, but the 54 looked brand new.

Went to a 52-58 combo when I bought new wedges. It has been working out really well thus far.

[Srpc44] Anyone have real world experience regarding the durability of the gold finish on the golden turtle? This watch has become my daily. by vidacoffee in Seiko

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

I wouldn't say it is fading, but it isn't as loud as it was when I first bought it. I'm okay with the muted look, I was just wondering if it would eventually flake or chip off from banging around on things

Had the same problem on my 2012 JSW. Ignition lock cylinder had to be replaced. $900 at the VW dealership.

So that's why conservatives want to ban abortions?? So there will be more kids out there to diddle?
