While the deposit might give peace of mind to some, I will never e-transfer a deposit. I've heard of too many times where these sellers take that money and vanish. I want to see the item first and complete the transaction right then and there, in cash. The background check was a surprise since...

15K, wow, that is desperate! And I was questioning why I should have to pay $41 of my money to get a criminal records check as part of the job application process to get a part time job with a turf maintenance company! BTW, it's the first time I've ever been asked to provide one of those in...

The answer to that one is "Never too old".

Well if I have an at fault accident and a dirtbag tow company takes away the wreckage of my bike, they can keep it. I will have no further use of it and I wouldn't waste my time and money trying to fix it anyway. If the collision was the other persons fault, well then that's what a bike accident...

I still have the required minimums. On older vehicles it just doesn't make financial sense to have collision coverage. Fire and theft is more of a value judgement, but as I said a 27 year old bike really isn't worth much and would likely get a minimal pay out from insurance. The first few years...

I've looked at the cost for each of those coverages. At one time I had fire & theft on the ST. However, I dropped it about five years ago because, let's face it, who is going to steal a 1997 ST1100 with over 180K km on it. I mean really, I tried selling it a couple of years ago for $1500 and had...

Actually yes, and that is just one option available to corporations. They will continue to reduce staff, increase prices, close less profitable stores and or automate. The automated versions are already in use in some places. Why do you think McDonalds brought in those self serve ordering...

I thought it was just me. From all the hype around it I was beginning to think I must be the only one.

If your vehicle has a bank loan on it you are probably required to have collision coverage on it by your lender. If the vehicle is older, or has no bank loan you can choose to drop the collision portion. Downside is that any damage caused where you are at fault, your vehicle repairs are not...

Do you really think that any corporate company will sacrifice profits? I don't believe that will ever happen.

I never change them until late April and I put my snows on before the end of October, because Orangeville! I watched the guy across the street put his summer tires on over the weekend.:ROFLMAO: I guess some people either don't look at the weather forecast, or choose not to believe it. I was...

It's not that difficult to make most of the Toronto Council members look like idiots. They do it to themselves regularly.

I'm looking for the other painted line. It looks to me like the truck is not parked in an actual spot, but rather in the driving lane. See attached for what can happen when you park in a non-spot. That space is hatched out because trucks need the area to reach the loading dock.

I agree that these mowers are very quiet and I don't worry about cutting the grass before 8am on a weekend. I have a corded electric snow blower that I bought when we were in a townhouse for a few years that is equally quiet. I don't believe that an electric snow blower is quite up to the task...

I bought this mower last year at Lowe's. I picked up an extra battery on sale for $100. I'm on a typical 50' sub-division corner lot and one battery will usually do the entire yard; front, back and large side yard. I've run out once or twice when the grass is thick, but a quick swap out of the...
