    Cheapskates Corner

    The only live sports I cared much about was F1, and it was specifically Speedvision's coverage. When FOX gutted Speed and turned into a NASCAR only channel, that was pretty much the end of ever caring about a TV subscription. (I haven't seen it in years, but TSN's coverage was an abysmal...

    I think the TTC has been at low service levels on weekends for the whole year

    Normal car recommendation….

    FYI I've done that door cable job on my sister's van, same side too, if you have any questions I don't think that exists

    Cheapskates Corner

    Ultra-cheapskate version (you are a student and have little money) - the beefiest unattended paperclips you can find The zipper pulls on old Joe Rocket gear were all dogshit for some reason. Like I swear they stamped them out of zinc

    Hypermotard V2

    That is cleaner than I was expecting. Growing accustomed to seeing modern Ducs festooned with tubes, pipes, and cow bladders

    Auto Dealerships

    First read that as 25 and thought "that sounds like a deal"

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    As long as we're explaining things, can someone explain Trey Yesavage's compensation to me? Why is his salary $760,000 but his "adjusted salary" $57,204? What does that mean

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    Ehhh... I dunno. I could probably make it, as an experienced commuter. If you are a visitor to the city you might not figure out how the GO platforms work fast enough. Disembarking at Union is easier than embarking As an experienced commuter that has many a time shared the train with noisy Jays...

    Why Is Motorcycle Oil So Expensive?

    Rotella is NOT JASO certified, Shell is simply asserting that it meets JASO-MA2 requirements. JASO-MA certification costs money and oils that are certified display it prominently on the bottle along with a certification #, similar to how Dexos certification works. In fact most of the motorcycle...

    How long does it take to pull the trigger on a bike purchase?

    If I COULD quickly decide to buy a bike, I would have bought either a 2013 Fazer8 when they were giving them away, or a 2020 Katana when they were giving them away

    Why Is Motorcycle Oil So Expensive?

    I dunno... there was a time when Motul 7100 spiked up to $100, I swear before COVID. Now you can get a bottle for $80, that is probably about right with inflation. :/ Still costs more than it should, I really don't believe there is any secret sauce that makes your average synthetic moto oil...

    Royal Enfield selling on Amazon

    If traditional dealers are still doing assembly, PDI and delivery then this just sounds like Amazon is stealing their lunch. I think most NA dealers would simply refuse to "collaborate" and it would cost them all of the ground they've gained here. So of course they'll try it
