I've had so many cars over the years... I'm not on any one side of the fence. Simple fact is - german cars today are trash. I don't mean to hurt any feelings, but there's no way around it for me, from my experience. Take any model - after 3-4 years, there will be so many "common problems" -...

CoolJ - doin it right

It works as advertised :) I've been using it for a while now. I save maps to offline before I go, then switch to live mode if I need more info (traffic, satellite or street view, search etc). For navigation, I sometimes use car mode - you can navigate and play your music with a nice GPS like...

I don't believe it's level of comprehension to blame here - it's something else... and I'm giving up on trying to figure it out.

Are you aware my bike can do 300? I can go way faster than all those cars on the road. Doesn't make it right. If you were presenting these arguments as part of properly researched and documented presentation to your MPP/city council, as part of education on the issue, and your push to make it...

And again - I make no distinction; car or bike. Also, you are only thinking in terms of filtering, and forgetting passing on the shoulder part. If few bikes do it, why shouldn't some cars do it too... If I rip my car's a/c out and disconnect radiator fan, does that give me the right to pass...

Not a all. If there was a self-checkout line at LCBO, then that would be equal to HOV lane. Get it? When someone uses self-checkout, folks that choose to wait in cashier line have no reason to be mad at someone checking out faster... I can't believe I have to explain some of these things...

You're missing the point. I'm not disagreeing with any of that (UK article reference). When you're stuck in traffic, you don't see an issue with HOV people using HOV lane. If filtering / lane splitting becomes legal - no issue (we would love that, goes without saying)... but passing on a...

Thank you for an in-depth analysis, and for elaborate explanation of your perspective... :)

Why is this so difficult to understand? Scenario: You go to LCBO Friday evening before long weekend. It's busy. You get your stuff, go to one of the lines, and wait in line. Some people have few bottles, some have a cart-full. If random people decide it's ok to jump the line and go straight to...

What a stupid response. Why did you stop highlighting right there... and not included part about cagers. I don't make a point about riders/bikes, but about behaviour. No double standards, like it or not...

I've done stupid stuff in the past... I'll admit to that, but in my grown-up state, I don't like seeing shoulder passing - not so much because it's illegal, but more so because of its anti-social element. Some people just feel it's OK to inconvenience 20-30-50 other motorists so the can save 1...

I have beefy and long cable-lock... When I park and need to walk around, I run cable through swingarm, sleeve of my jacket and finally helmet... When it's locked, it's a tight fit, but woks great. Another benefit - as helmet and jacket are resting (locked) over the seat, seat is nice and cool...

Why strictly iPhone? If you're set on it, that's OK, but you know all carriers see iPhone crowd as sheep, and charge accordingly. Just compare these plans: https://shop.koodomobile.com/plans/plans/index.html Still, if you want iPhone, forget Rogers / fido (forget rogers in any case :) ) call or...

I hear you. I like black understated look... especially A* and Icon... How about this: http://www.gpbikes.com/eshopprod_cat_6581-46495-46547-46522_product_976313.ALPINESTARS_BLACK_LABEL_ICE_LE.htm

Rogers is the worst corporation ever (poster child for corporate greed) - business or average user, regardless, rogers will screw you over. At least these days there is some competition in mobile market and likely even more players in the near future - whatever you do, do not sign another...

Android is simply more upfront about what app may need to do - to the point of over-doing it... (the way permissions are bundled makes is sound a lot worse than it is). It's up to individual app vendor to clarify what it is actually doing, and you as a user to grant/deny specific rights. Take...

Great stuff - thanks y'all! Cheers!

Thanks murdlem. To clarify - I can google like a pro - but for something I'm about to dive into head first without a clue (renting a cottage at this time of year), I was hoping someone here has first-hand info... pros/cons, what's doable, what to avoid... Romper room material, no doubt...
