    Buying a vehicle (non motorcycle) as is from private vs dealer

    It could potentially hide any issues that were found yes. It’s about due diligence with out of province cars…each province has different regulations when it comes to salvage / damaged titles. Unfortunately it’s not a perfect system but it’s buyer beware.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I love it when guys want to trade piece of junk old cars and then claim I can still make more money than my bike is worth…. Todays example … ‘wanna trade for a 2010 KIA RIO and then you can sell it and make more money on top?’ How generous of them. Watches, sea doos, old Mercedes E500, and X3...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    That's a hard pass thank you. We heavily considered a full EV recently, but the price, and needs of what we're looking for in our price range...hard to justify. We'll see how the Maverick serves us. I'm just happy my wife is actually driving to work with it and likes it. 2 days in a row now she...

    Has anyone else been sick more than normal this winter?

    I feel like I’ve been sick way more often than normal. 3 kids in the house so one is always patient 0 and the cycle continues. That week when the whole family had norovirus…that was fun times for sure.

    Thanks @hdsomeday that was a bed extender I considered also, but for now that won’t work for what I want to do…load up bed and cargo box to maximize space for camping. I thought I had the drop in liner, but I noticed the back of my truck window had a spray in liner sticker…so I took a close...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Tried to install a tail bed dampener for the Maverick but turns out I have a T50 torx key which blows...and almost stripped the bolt. Need to now find a T50 torqx Plus (?) and get this thing off. Never a dull moment.

    Buying a vehicle (non motorcycle) as is from private vs dealer

    80-90% of original purchase price is very difficult in typical economy. With COVID drive up in prices...it worked for some...but...it doesn't work most of the time. My recently history... WRX - bought for 29.5k + tax and traded in for 29.5k after 6-8 months Volt - Bought for 19k and traded in...

    TV shows currently watching

    We’re 2 episodes in and so far preferred S1 better. But hopefully it picks up. Eye candy 100% better than S1. As for me…finally got around to watching ‘Wednesday’ on Netflix. Meh.

    I was comparing the standing start times only. Didn't bother with the 5-60 but as @GreyGhost pointed out...AI isn't all it's cracked up to be sometimes.

    Pickup Trucks

    So now that I’m a truck guy…. What’s recommendations for organizing the bed? For now I threw in some 2x4s in the slots to prevent wife’s stuff from rolling about (most important reason to replace GTI is so she can use it…happy to say she took it to work today)! Thinking of a bed extender that...

    Buying a vehicle (non motorcycle) as is from private vs dealer

    VIN washing is a thing and QC is known in particular for having questionable vehicle histories. There’s been a handful of reports where cars from Ontario would be shipped to QC after flooding / hail damage in order to register and clear titles before shipping back. @PrivatePilot has bought...

    Well, that didn't take long!

    Today I’ve seen: - bike ripping between cars at at least 2x the surrounding speed - bike passing on the left shoulder at about 50kph compared to cars at 20 (401 WB) - sport bike with no plates on the 407 passing me as if though I’m standing still The fun is just starting.

    Eating out

    If everyone listens to that idiotic advice...restaurant staff will just lose their jobs. It's a stupid argument, same as that photo / meme on FB running around... I'll see if I can find it but basically makes a 30-40% tip as mandatory.

    I was shocked... Guess it depends on where you check...but they're very close.

    Ok thanks. Only reason I wanted to convert was to get the free renewal and I thought 407 rates were lower. Turns out I was wrong on both fronts. Thanks! BTW...checked the numbers and the Maverick 0-60mph is 0.1s faster than the GTI. Nice surprise.

    I was ready to rip that thing out on many occasions. When it’s cold / freezing it rattles against the glass and is horribly annoying.

    Both. The GTI had a great sound system. Unfortunately the ‘good’ sound was all piped in through the speakers and synthesized.
