    Eating out

    If everyone listens to that idiotic advice...restaurant staff will just lose their jobs. It's a stupid argument, same as that photo / meme on FB running around... I'll see if I can find it but basically makes a 30-40% tip as mandatory.

    Pickup Trucks

    I was shocked... Guess it depends on where you check...but they're very close.

    Pickup Trucks

    Ok thanks. Only reason I wanted to convert was to get the free renewal and I thought 407 rates were lower. Turns out I was wrong on both fronts. Thanks! BTW...checked the numbers and the Maverick 0-60mph is 0.1s faster than the GTI. Nice surprise.

    Pickup Trucks

    I was ready to rip that thing out on many occasions. When it’s cold / freezing it rattles against the glass and is horribly annoying.

    Pickup Trucks

    Both. The GTI had a great sound system. Unfortunately the ‘good’ sound was all piped in through the speakers and synthesized.

    Welp…goodbye GTI. It was an awesome 1.5 years and I loved that car. But time to move on. Maverick ain’t no GTI, but the Ecoboost motor is no slouch either. All that glorious space for junk… I would have preferred a lighter colour but hard to find the options I wanted in used. Now to...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I'd say about 40-50ft x 3 is what I need. I've got the house measurements somewhere around here. My only concern with DIY is going to the higher level of the house as I hate being up high. The lower side is more of a concern as that's where all the pine needs and leaves collect. The top area...

    At 15-25k for a machine...not planning on buying that any time soon.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Eavesthroughs…. DIY or pay someone? Doesn’t look overly complex but the primary benefit (IMO) of having someone come out and do it is that it’s single piece the entire length. DIY means joints. Thoughts?

    Buying a vehicle (non motorcycle) as is from private vs dealer

    Odysseys are fantastic and I love ours. We wanted to replace wife’s odyssey with a new one but the prices are way beyond my budget for used. 45-55k for an odyssey with decent mileage. Maverick should do us good for a couple years while the odyssey takes a breather. 160,000km already so I figure...

    Buying a vehicle (non motorcycle) as is from private vs dealer

    I’ve got the space and wife made a hard stance against it. In all honesty for 3k…I could just rent a truck a handful of times and still come out ahead.

    Good choice @black_CG2! That’s a steal for sure!

    Buying a vehicle (non motorcycle) as is from private vs dealer

    Awesome! I love those older Mazda / Ranger trucks. I actually considered keeping the GTI and buying a beater truck...my wife beat that idea out of me pretty fast. The Maverick appeals to me simply because it returns back to those older days of smaller trucks (which I find much more appealing...

    Your First Motorcycle Was a ............?

    First bike was a 2008 Honda CBR125 for a total of 4 months. Then replaced by a 2010 Honda CBR250R which I ran for 3-4 years and close to 28k or so. The 250 is still running as my cousin still has it.
