    New truck - Engine / Transmission issues. Going to argue for dealer to give me a new a truck - frustrated.

    I agree with both of you, just a joke. When I spoke to GM Customer Care / Onstar they said you can't even get a rental until its inspected by a technician first to ensure it's actually a valid warranty repair, and I quote "to ensure you didn't drive it into a lake or something"....right. They...

    New truck - Engine / Transmission issues. Going to argue for dealer to give me a new a truck - frustrated.

    My local dealer does not, I will hear back from the dealer I bought the truck from tomorrow. Unfortunately this dealer is also 2 hours away ( next closest city )- so they are going to have to find a way to work that in.

    New truck - Engine / Transmission issues. Going to argue for dealer to give me a new a truck - frustrated.

    Yea thats the kinda story I was looking for, and I suspected as such. They ironically do have basically the same exact truck on their lot currently so I was hoping to discuss that option, but yea I assume they are going to try and patch it. Funny enough when I talked to GM Customer Care I told...

    New truck - Engine / Transmission issues. Going to argue for dealer to give me a new a truck - frustrated.

    Yea when I called yesterday the Service team had already left, just had the one sales person at the dealership. Said he was going to email the Service Manager and CC the Head Manager of the dealer and they should get back to me tomorrow on this. So, hopeful for a decent resolution here. Just...

    New truck - Engine / Transmission issues. Going to argue for dealer to give me a new a truck - frustrated.

    Im going to assume the C8's are getting preferred treatment and get repaired ASAP in this situation. Also....Im sure it's not their daily driver and they have a back up vehicle in case of no rental. Frustrating either way for sure though. Yea I've heard all about the rental shortages - being in...

    New truck - Engine / Transmission issues. Going to argue for dealer to give me a new a truck - frustrated.

    Just looking to see what the consensus is on this, and if anyone else has been in the same predicament. In November I bought a new 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 6.2L - $70,000+ truck. Absolutely love it, always bought GM (old man retired from the Oshawa plant) and never had an issue. Anyhow a week...

    Isle of Man TT 2022

    Shut it down because you don't like it....when in reality you've never even ridden it? Ive never sky dived, but it seems dangerous so im going to petition to have it banned. Come on. They have interviewed the deceased families and even they don't want it shut down. Their husbands, sons...

    Isle of Man TT 2022

    Again the risks are there, but the riders are aware of it. That's the reason you don't see MotoGP riders doing the TT. Can they do it? For sure they can, but no way are they going to risk it. Personally I'd risk doing the TT than being the guys that fly down the 401 at 200kmh lane splitting and...

    Isle of Man TT 2022

    No one makes a rider join the TT. No one's twisting your arm, and the riders know the dangers - the majority of them have ridden the course multiple times. When people say they should stop the race, it screams I can't do that, so they shouldn't be able to either.

    The kids looking to buy a new car in her name, but use my insurance. Is this possible?

    Yea that's the route we might have to take Mike. Just did not want the responsibility of it if she suddenly decides to stop paying ME monthly for it. I'd be taking the hit.

    The kids looking to buy a new car in her name, but use my insurance. Is this possible?

    Yea that's what I was thinking as the only solution. I don't want the vehicle in my name, I want this to be her responsibility so to speak if she decides to suddenly stop paying for it. Can she not buy the car in her name but I insure it in mine and add her as a secondary driver? Just seems dumb...

    The kids looking to buy a new car in her name, but use my insurance. Is this possible?

    As the title suggests. The kid wants to buy (finance) her own car and has saved up a fair bit for it. She wants to purchase the car in her name from the dealership, however she only has her G1 and the wait to get her G2 is still pretty far away. My solution was to put the car on my insurance...

    RIP Isle of Man TT: Mark Purslow

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/motorsport/61669457 Not sure if anyone else follows the TT. Dave Moffitt was also in a serious crash during qualifiers but is in stable condition.

    Helibars - drastic change in cornering ability?

    Beautiful bike! Looks so strange with the high clip ons lol. Good to know it still handles quiet well though, I look forward to adding the Helibar for some of these longer rides this summer.

    Helibars - drastic change in cornering ability?

    Yea I've read its pretty popular - however most of the information gathered is about comfortability only and not much on the cornering aspect. Im obviously not going to be tracking it, but as long as it's still comfortable enough to lean it right over then I'll be happy with the mod. Thanks for...

    Helibars - drastic change in cornering ability?

    Getting a little older, and thinking of changing the aggressive stance on my Hayabusa to something a little more neutral. So im looking to add a Helibar to raise bars to a more comfortable level. Just wondering if anyone has done this mod with Helibars, Genmar, Woodcraft etc. and how it affects...

    Potential hot weather road hazards

    Ive seen a number of tracks with some horrible tar snakes on them as well. I don't understand how more riders don't go down because of them.

    Szoke out for the season?

    Completely agree, hence why racing in Canada is such a waste of time if you're looking to make a career. You need to have the time, resources, and skill at a young age to get anywhere for starters. Then if you are successful in Canada you travel to the States and need to place within the top 3...

    Szoke out for the season?

    Kawasaki from what I understood sponsored him. Hence they pay for bike expenses, fees, travel, clothing etc. This does not include insurance; he doesn't work for Kawasaki so they have absolutely no obligation to him aside from provide an image. Racing companies in Canada are just terrible...
