    Two Stroke?

    You'll get us ol' guys bangin on about how Castrol R is the best 2T oil It is. No debate about it... but you don't need it. Castrol R is made from castor beans... so it's a vegetable oil and oddly it gets more oily the hotter it gets (no other oil does that, oil usually get thinner with heat)...

    Two Stroke?

    From what I have read, it's a off road MX bike only... so far. The CAFE emission rules are different for off road compared to street versions. Rotax makes a super charged two stroke, that passes California Clean Air regs... there's lots of 2Ts out there and there's sizeable group of us that...

    The sad thing is: if the car/truck was designed with a anode(s) in mind, and the car was originally built with galvanic corrosion protection they would work. You CAN rust proof metal So who is "scamming" us? Can you bolt something on AFTER the car is built that will work... NO I got a box of...

    Stealerships Stories... Got one?

    I once had a sales guy tell me he COULDN'T take my offer to his manager, it was TOO low and it would make him LOOK bad to his manager. So I offered to take the offer in myself. I got the truck for MY price, about 75% of the ask. My friends used to get me to do the deal when they bought cars. I...

    I don't if it still holds true, but it used to be Stockfish Ford in North Bay was the best no BS dealer in the province. I've bought 6 cars and trucks from them, I know lots of other people from southern Ontario that have bought from them . All good experiences. Stockfish did lots and lots of...

    License plate

    You don't own the plate, the province does. There is a path to get the plate registered to you IF it isn't currently registered, it is dealt with in the personalized plate program. I THINK the plate has to have a year on it. You can register a plate with no vehicle assigned to it.

    One of my drivers called me to tell me the trans had failed on one of my taxis. The thing had less than 100km left on the 100,000km warranty. I had the car flat decked to the closest ford dealer: Summit. The dealer wanted no part of this, arguing it was a commercial vehicle and therefore NO...

    I can't find a better title

    When Margaret Mead was asked about indications of "civilization" she told us of a 150,000 year old skeleton found that had a healed femur. A broken femur 150,000 years ago was a death sentence, you couldn't hunt or scavenge food, retrieve water... basically you curled up and died. But a HEALED...

    So let's have a government that only supports people that can run a 4 minute mile. If you have a gimp leg: you're on your own and you die. That's sorta what we got now, and the majority of people don't like it... as the majority of folks can't run a 4 minute mile. Can you? And the incentive to...

    Cuba is a special case. Cuba CANNOT thrive because of the US embargoes. The US didn't embargo the USSR, the source of the "communism", but it DID embargo Cuba. Do yourself a favor and figure out WHY. I think it will enlighten you as why the world is in the pickle it is. If you want to know: YOU...

    I can't find a better title

    How do you know that? We have never SEEN communism in action so I don't see how you are making that pronouncement. (Russia and China are NOT communist. Never have been, never will be. Their political systems are just as screwed as our is, for the same reasons) By the same token: we have never...

    Again: IF they're there they have to work. If the car had them as an OPTION, you can remove them (not just the wiper, not just the arm... you have to make it look like it was never there). If it was standard equipment it has to be there and it has to work... and the squirter has to work too

    "looking at it" won't tell ya if the pads are cracked, if the rotor is below spec thickness, if the caliper is seized... someone at the MOT has decided the "professional judgement" was lacking... and we get this As to "free laptops": that first laptop is NOT free, it comes in the VERY expensive...

    What a maroon You can see the form's serial number... those books are assigned by the MOT and the MOT knows what serial numbers went where Fail. If it's there, it has to work. He was SUPPOSED to do that for a paper cert.
