    Cheapskates Corner

    We "temporarily" went down to one car during covid. We figured at some point we would have to buy a second vehicle again, in reality once we made the adjustments to a single vehicle we realized we could get by with one. When I drive to work I drop my wife off and pick her up, then we mix in...

    What's going on with this tire?

    My experience with all-weather tires (Nokian) has also been very good. Again Southern Ontario.... When I buy a car I will get a set of snows and swap. Once the two sets wear out (usually about the same time...), I go all-weather and one set--no point in buying two sets of tires at that point.

    TTC subway closure - Sorry

    They recently "increased service levels" on line 2, adding more trains... well it now takes longer to get downtown as the trains are constantly stopping in the tunnels waiting for the train in front of them. Or worse yet you get a short turn and everyone gets dumped off at a station to wait for...

    Not sure how i feel

    Mid 20s and litre bike (I assume sportbike???) raise flags for me, one of them, is he riding dirty? We all know how much insurance is in these cases. For me (maybe others disagree), if he is riding dirty (regardless of sportbike or not) that is a major red flag about actually being...

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

    Check the weather... remove the doors (unscrew the hinge from the cabinet side), put the doors in the vehicle. Lay it down, protect it and cover it. Strap it if you are worried about it moving around and/or tailgate is open... Depending on the quality of the cabinet removing the glass and...

    What's going on with this tire?

    What some may have missed is this is a winter tire that was just going on the car... meaning it came off like this (and was not noticed in spring) and the same car has been driving around spring/summer/fall with other tires.... SO, check the tires that came off for any damage, if they are all...

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    Pretty much this, but he is a pitcher so he did not pitch every game after the call up, so games played vs games (or days???) on the roster after call up, roster is what matters. Post season is not part of the calculation so 3 regular season games and likely 12 to 13 on the roster (four game...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    That is pretty messed up, these sites are giving credit to minors without an adult? The nonsense in this industry gets worse everyday.

    What's your time worth?

    As for banks... the wife had a charge on her CC from one of those companies that won't let you cancel. She got a new card with a new number (banks advice), then a month later the same charge again on her new card... She was fuming the bank put it through. Lots of time on hold with the bank for...

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    This location originally had one of those, they switched to the pole mounted ones (here and many other locations) as the ground level ones get disabled very easily with paint etc., and often. When they went to poles in this location they just kept making them beefier and they kept getting cut...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    I can't say for everyone else but anyone I knew... Either the teen bought an old clapped out minibike with their money that got ridden on the streets and trails or the parents did buy them a proper MX but took the kid and the bike to proper off-road trails and they rode together with them on...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    In our area there are a bunch of kids (minors) riding what are basically multi-thousand dollar electric dirt-bikes, well above 35 kph and no pedals etc. to be found. Constantly flying around in bike lanes, doing wheelies on the street, etc... The parents obviously bought the kids these bikes...

    Anyone here a cyclist?
