Getting seaweed stuck in my spokes wasn’t the plan today but, it was a nice ride along Lake Erie.

Masters of the Air on Apple. Wow!

Pop died from booze when I was 8 yo. Mom worked in a factory and raised 3 kids. Me and my 6 years younger twin sisters. Got a paper route and really earned my pay during those late 70s winters, towing the papers in a sled behind me. Learned how to start the lawn mower and cut grass...

That is a bit north of the big city but, Trail Appliances knows their stuff if still considering new.

I think as long as the product has appeal and brings the smiles, the benefits of having less operating noise and an interesting power train should be enough. I like making rooster tails with dirt bikes and sliding around greasy tracks for smiles. I hated the idea of 4 strokes but, learned...

Seen one out in the wild on the QEW at Jordan. Nice looking machine.

Where are you located? Go to Appliance Canada. Look for Fisher Paykel and they will have something for your size. They are spendy but, worth it. Sub-Zero is more on the custom and commercial end of things but, they do have residential items but, they may not have a lot of display models to...

I’d probably run mid grade fuel and see what fuel economy vs performance. Similar price point and just as rare manual, I’ve driven a Passat CC for the same vintage IIRC, 2013. Essentially a 4 door coupe. Looks great and excellent highway cruiser. Searching for a clean example is hens...

Personally, I’d like to take a vehicle for a rip before making a commitment. Even if the tires are flat spotted and worn, you can feel how it rides. Does the suspension have any clunks or unhealthy noise. How does the clutch feel, any slipping etc. even the doors seals can be misaligned and...

Good question! I wonder if anyone has been denied?

Honestly, I thought it was a check to see if we were getting a discount for something we didn’t have. When they responded they were just checking to make sure our rental had snows, I was genuinely surprised and impressed.

Interesting tid bit. Had an insurance claim from a neighbour backing into our vehicle parked on the street. Adjuster noticed we had a discount for winter tires and asked if our car had them on. Yes of course! Ok Mr. nakman, we will make sure your rental is also equipped with winter tires...

Have a 2018 Forester with the 2.5 base and it pulls decent and gets better fuel mileage than my daughter’s 2018 Crosstrek. Better room and visibility too. The CVT has programmed shift points to simulate a regular slush box. Had two of them and highly recommend.

I know we beat the heck out carbon emissions debate and didn’t want to open a separate topic on climate change. Here is a video on something I believe is very important and I am pretty diligent about sorting my recycling and do get annoyed with the large amount I need to handle every week...

For the regular owners, how are you finding the remaining range display or battery % for accuracy? I’m one of the worst for running my vehicles down to their low fuel light comes on and use the trip display for litres per kilometre read out to give me some idea of where I’m at needing to fill...

DO NOT COME TO NIAGARA FALLS! it will be a gong show. Everything is booked and even if the day is overcast, traffic and everything will be jammed and poor service etc. Even the locals will be looking to get out of dodge before the weekend starts to avoid it.

I think it’s fair to say media has changed to showing bias and hold conservative points of view with more scrutiny than liberals. Sure there is cross over when it can’t be avoided but, there is more op ed reporting than journalism. There is select clips to support a given narrative and it...

Can always count on gtam to provide a good laugh!😂
