Oops….looks like I waited too long and Lucy just started her first heat cycle today… Now I can’t take her to training because the other dogs will go nuts. I’ll take a kid and train them in her place.

Just finished up my gig so I’m def out. Plus it’s been raining hard on off all evening.

We talking about the same Shane?

I'll see if I can pop by, but have a contracted job with a local client that needs to be completed. Will see when I finish up and try to bomb over.

Not if @shanekingsley cooks it.

The Fiat500e, Mini Cooper EV, Ford Focus EV and e-Golf were all great concepts, with horrible execution where they used existing cars and just stuffed a small battery into them. I'd love any of the above if I could justify it as a strict commuter for me or my wife as they're cheap(ish), enough...

GWS - serious injuries https://toronto.citynews.ca/2026/08/10/motorcyclist-rushed-to-hospital-after-brampton-crash/

I like it. Have had it for 17 months about 52k in that time and it’s great. You can tell the cheap and where Ford cut corners but as a daily / road tripper it’s great. I’ve got the ecoboost AWD with 4K tow packages. 2023 xlt.

In all honesty, lots of cars could use a check up because the stuff people get away with is ridiculous. Stupidly cambered wheels, dropped to the ground, lifted unsafely for every other road user. Poland cars get inspected annually or every 2 years, but they’re in good working order. Extreme...

Why was there even a guy there during the lift? Was it hard to do? Who did it for you? I originally rejected the idea of lifting the cottage...but now am considering it again to lift for a full height basement. Dad told me he always wanted to extend the house out 10ft but sadly I think that...

Recommendations on purchasing rotors + pads for a Ford Maverick or Honda Odyssey. Feeling a rumble from both, and will need to replace the fronts at the very least on both.

My big regret is to put the laminate on top of previous flooring in our house. We were rushing, I was in BC working FIFO. Now I can drop a ball in one section and it’ll roll around and around. Once kids get older I’m ripping it all out and redoing the whole thing. But for now it’s an...

I actually considered those Soul EV for a runaround, but after I did the math...it's silly to buy a 3rd car. I'd love a small EV that my wife can just take to/from work and leave the Odyssey for actual family hauling. But the math doesn't add up unfortunately to have a 3rd car. In other...

Every Tesla I've quoted for insurance is $80-100/month more than any other vehicle I've quoted (Maverick, GTI, Bolt, Volt, Equinox).

I'd say this is also one of those repairs that any competent mechanic / DIY'er can do considering that it's strictly mechanical, and not much electrical / programming that needs to be touched.
