That part is very reasonable. I think of a car like the regal Toyota Echo - in Canada every single option you could get, other than colour, was dealer installed. Including the "RS" appearance package, Borla exhaust, and A/C. Now in this case they say they want to sell direct to consumers, so in...

I found this very interesting... maybe unrealistic. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2025/04/amazon-backed-startup-wants-to-sell-a-bare-bones-ev-truck-for-20000/

As someone who commuted on the TTC... you can attack me with cologne/perfume all day, I don't care. People eating hot food probably annoy me more, because it smells good and I start fantasizing about scenarios where I get their food. That is all trivial baby matters compared to the cloud of...

I hear that. I'm not worried about that in this case - the buyer paid me well for the parts car, and I don't want to do anything that triggers the province asking them for HST. I have gone through the trouble of disavowing ownership of a vehicle once, when I sold a bike to someone who...

I sold a car for parts last year. I kept the plates, I'm pretty sure the guy who bought it didn't register it. The MTO (or whomever) sent me a letter warning me that the plates would not automatically renew - I did not take any action, haven't had trouble with any of my other vehicles, so I...

I'll just check the brakes on my car while I'm switching over to summer tires... hmm, this caliper pin is frozen. Maybe I should try heating it up? Nah, I'll just use the big impact on it and... oops. Why did I think that was a good idea?

A properly safety-worthy, ready to ride bike has been worth at least $2000 for maybe 15 years at least? I haven't been looking for deals for a couple years so I can't confirm if the price has gone up recently. So when you say back in the day, how far back are you talking? Late 90s?

Why would this event in particular set anything back? Blue Origin is a private enterprise. Sure they've sucked in at least $1.5B in government money, but it's still controlled by Bezos. This is just regular billionaire ****

I really wanna hear this bike's story

Shouldn't they have been delisted by now? https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/non-compliant-company-list?page=14&rows_per_page=10

I can't help but think of the Adam Sandler movie Pixels when I see that trailer What can you do? Daft Punk disbanded four years ago now

EK has the screw type (SLJ) master links, I highly recommend them

If the seller was just slightly less delusional they would not have included that 360 walk-around in the ad. Highly recommend clicking through to see it

It's not something I normally consider either. It feels like strictly an add-on ticket to me but rules are rules
