    Motorcycle mistakes you only make once... and ones you make all the time...

    Driving away with the disc lock on….thing got so bent the key wouldn’t work on it. Good thing those things are junk. A few twists with a screwdriver and it snapped right off. I continue to get ready, sit, and the keys are still in my pocket…. 🤦🏻‍♂️

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

    It will all depend on car. QC has great EV rebates so their EVs are much cheaper. I don’t think their ICE cars are worth the effort. For me…I spent 3hrs at the dealer and ended up 3k lower than I thought they’d go. But I was patient, respectful, and 95% honest on my budget. Dealers are...

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

    I literally bought a ‘truck’ today. There’s a small chip in the windshield and I hope it doesn’t pass safety so they are forced to fix it. Sure buying private may save you some cash…but it could end up costing you way more that a similar one sold from a dealer… I would always start with a...

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

    I use similar but just take a 4x4 on a brick or two and use the leverage. Comes out like butter, and sometimes with the concrete. Kevin’s concrete crumbles so if I want the post in the same spot….i chip out a lot of concrete.

    COVID and the housing market

    BC is threatening tolls on trucks going from the mainland US to Alaska. I would expect any truck between Canada and Mexico will also be charged similarly as retaliation.

    GTAM Off Season Go Kart + Dinner Meetup

    Appreciate it but if anything I’m more likely in just for dinner. Didn’t see the karting was locked in.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Interesting.... https://mobilesyrup.com/2025/03/05/tesla-sells-over-8000-evs-before-the-end-of-the-federal-rebate/ Tesla had best weekend ever...just as the federal program ran out...a single dealership in QC claimed $20M in tax rebates! EDIT: Some more links...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    When I had my Volt I found a VOLTEC unit for super cheap as the internal fuse was a common failure point. Picked it up for $80 or so 5+ years ago and replaced internal fuse with 20/25A (can’t remember). If we go full EV I’ll take that one to the cottage and pick up a new one. Getting closer to...

    Car Deal TikTok/Youtuber

    I thought so too….turns out I was wrong. I have no issue with dealers making money…but looking to get 30-50% margin on my car….id rather keep it as I’m not desperate.

    Car Deal TikTok/Youtuber

    So much fun when dealers advertise cars that no longer exist. 3 calls this week…all 3 cars sold already, approved, and off the lot…but the ads are still up to bring in leads.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Everyone knows it's illegal...but no one cares. The only time I've heard of that charge being used is as an add-on. Hell I got stopped near your place about 15 years ago with a CLEAR cover on my plates and the OPP officer decided to give me just a warning. And that plate was clear! Fact is...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    If it’s not enforced is it really illegal? I’m seeing more and more tinted plates so dark you can’t even read the plate unless you’re 5ft away. Illegal…but no one cares.

    Did you exercise today?

    Unfortunately you are right. My appetite isn't back yet, and at least I can hold down eating a banana and some black coffee. And it's not a long term strategy. Love me some kettlebell work! I can't workout just yet...never know...you know...
