seems shockingly underpriced. Is it just a rolling chassis? :)

This!

FWIW, FixIt is the same company I used to do my bumper cover. Took 2 attempts to colour match. Different franchise though...just giving you a heads up. Sent from my SM-S916W using Tapatalk

Yes, they used the VIN and made the batch but apparently they didn't know that a base coat is needed before painting - if I recall correctly, the base coat is supposed to be black. You can see in the image below that the bumper cover is not the same colour as the rest of the body. The shop...

I have the same generation CX5 in the same colour. Word of advice if you are going to repair - keep a close eye on the result because the paint is very hard to match. I would ask up front if they think it will be an issue. The situation sucks in all directions and sorry you have to deal...

I don't find the 6 speed a slush box at all. In sport mode the gears are wound out and it's a fun ride. Gets you to 50 kph over in short order. The 3 hatch is compact, like all hatchbacks. If you are fighting for cargo space, a hatchback isn't the best option.

When looking for a car at a dealership, try to check out the leader board and seek out the #2 salesperson. There is always a competition and the #2 person will work harder for the deal.

Yeah, that model year 2.0 is really uninspiring. My daughter has a '12 Mazda 3 with 2.0 and it is totally an A to B car although I do like the interior. The manual version made the car a bit more fun to drive but the power band is limited. So many got caught up in the whole VW issue. I had...

I am going to guess you drove a 2.0 liter. Although very reliable, not very peppy and leaves room for more desire. The later models with turbo are a damn joy to drive. Some SkyActive G models have a light. He is considering a 2.5 liter turbo which does not have the SkyActive G indicator...

I am totally Mazda biased but for good reason. They build solid and reliable cars. Their engine and transmission are pretty well bulletproof. The overall build quality goes totally underestimated and their vehicles are insurance friendly. The hatch AWD with turbo is a bloody fun car to...

I hear ya. Ordered and will be installing one of these motorcycle 'dash cams' Every vehicle in the house is equipped with one. Some find them pretentious as **** but the first time it proved I was not at fault and saved me a pile, that was all I needed to justify having it.

As much as I love to ride, there are bits that wreak havoc on my anxiety. Having people turning left onto the roadway in front of me is the one that tweaks it the most. I will put this here as it is a technique that I use. RIP to the fallen rider in this story.

I don't need a coffee bad enough to go to Tim's let alone one on Simcoe or pretty well anywhere in the DT Oshawa area. I refuse to use a drive-through. Hate talking to a box and it just feels so lazy to me. I understand they have a purpose but it isn't my cup of purpose.

I wanna go with a fox. Don't like skunks very much. Sprayed my dogs more than once. Ground zero is nothing like the roaming scent of skunk in the air, which is almost floral by comparison. Good luck @Jampy00 with whatever it is.

Just some chump that wanted to have a story to brag about. This one is a better story...for the listener.

LMFAO! Kids born when this thread was first started are eligible for their GM1 now. Bloody classic read.

I've wondered about this too. My father lives in east Scarborough and I am in Pickering. Both our homes have about equal value on today's inflated market at about $1.2M and our lot sizes are pretty close to the same as well - so same sh1t different pile. My property taxes are quite near...

Wife is a letter carrier, her advice is to check with the clerk at your local post office as there should be a designation like a PO Box#. The thing I am picking up from this thread is that there are a handful of lucky buggers that don't live in the GTA. I'm jelly.

Congrats! Fun game for sure. I tried to get into the double digits but I also didn't stop life from getting in the way. Looking forward to '24 and hope to get out to a burger night or two.

Interesting...my personal experience with a CVT was tantamount to getting railed by a grizzly so forgive my trepidation. Sent from my SM-S916W using Tapatalk
