I managed a call center and can say there are very good reasons to have call center agents at the office. Especially as they learn their role or cross training and having a supervisor or Team Leader close by to coach during a call or take over a call escalation when needed. Remotely, the agent...

I equate the move from clutch to auto shifting to comparing vinyl records to Spotify/Apple. There are various stages in between like reel to real, 8 track, cassette, CD etc. But, vinyl still lives and appreciated by many demos from young to vintage.

All makes have their good years and bad years. Here is a video that has some sound advice on which to avoid and others to consider in the used market.

Depends on my own needs. If it’s occasional driving for towing a trailer for example, I’m good with an old work horse that has the usual high mileage wear items up to snuff. Old Cummins diesel pick up with 500k on the clock with a newer transmission and no rust for a cheap price? I’ll take a...

I ride for fun and enjoyment. If it’s uncomfortable, I look for another mode of transportation. I’ve ridden when it’s stupid hot and colder than heck for various reasons but, I don’t look forward to it. lol.

Ah to be young and full of myself and have all the answers to the world’s problems! And to see the evolution of language to make a statement and clap back against opposing points of view. Protests, cancel culture, woke, red pilled, shame! outrage, cultural appropriation, reparations, racism...

Getting seaweed stuck in my spokes wasn’t the plan today but, it was a nice ride along Lake Erie.

Masters of the Air on Apple. Wow!

Pop died from booze when I was 8 yo. Mom worked in a factory and raised 3 kids. Me and my 6 years younger twin sisters. Got a paper route and really earned my pay during those late 70s winters, towing the papers in a sled behind me. Learned how to start the lawn mower and cut grass...

That is a bit north of the big city but, Trail Appliances knows their stuff if still considering new.

I think as long as the product has appeal and brings the smiles, the benefits of having less operating noise and an interesting power train should be enough. I like making rooster tails with dirt bikes and sliding around greasy tracks for smiles. I hated the idea of 4 strokes but, learned...

Seen one out in the wild on the QEW at Jordan. Nice looking machine.

Where are you located? Go to Appliance Canada. Look for Fisher Paykel and they will have something for your size. They are spendy but, worth it. Sub-Zero is more on the custom and commercial end of things but, they do have residential items but, they may not have a lot of display models to...

I’d probably run mid grade fuel and see what fuel economy vs performance. Similar price point and just as rare manual, I’ve driven a Passat CC for the same vintage IIRC, 2013. Essentially a 4 door coupe. Looks great and excellent highway cruiser. Searching for a clean example is hens...

Personally, I’d like to take a vehicle for a rip before making a commitment. Even if the tires are flat spotted and worn, you can feel how it rides. Does the suspension have any clunks or unhealthy noise. How does the clutch feel, any slipping etc. even the doors seals can be misaligned and...

Good question! I wonder if anyone has been denied?

Honestly, I thought it was a check to see if we were getting a discount for something we didn’t have. When they responded they were just checking to make sure our rental had snows, I was genuinely surprised and impressed.

Interesting tid bit. Had an insurance claim from a neighbour backing into our vehicle parked on the street. Adjuster noticed we had a discount for winter tires and asked if our car had them on. Yes of course! Ok Mr. nakman, we will make sure your rental is also equipped with winter tires...
