Thanks! We originally was looking at the Nissan Kicks. the mid-level trim has pretty much everything standard for a price at $20k, but then the 1.6 litre versa engine just was a bit of work to get going. The Kona we got is 2.0, so we are happy to grab a vehicle that sits high, i don't have to...

Thank you all for your inputs and sharing your experience. My wife decided on a FWD Hyundai Kona with invoice price, and I'm trading in my FRS (no more RWD). I'll be picking up winter tires and steelies soon.

Hi all, I was never a car guy, but been learning a ton through my journey in searching for the next commuter car. From what I've read, AWD is not really a safety feature as most advertising mislead us into believing it is. It is more of performance-related, in which you are less likely to...

Longo's is having 21-days-aged striploins on sale. I'll season them with the Keg seasoning spice. Extra thick cut, medium rare. 1.5 minutes on each side first, followed by 30 seconds on each side again.

Alright, wife still not fully convinced of EV, so decided on Hybrids for now. Looking at Prius (Prius base or Prius Prime). Any other comparables folks here have tried? Hyundai Ioniq? Honda Insight? Need to keep cost to about $3-400 a month on a lease to make it worthwhile. She can get...

LiNK666 is correct. It is 100% taxable income. Make sure you have both a lawyer and accountant who are specialized in dealing with real estates (not just buying and selling - they need to understand real estate investments). Lawyers know the laws and rules, but it is the accountants who'll...

Really great advice shared already. I do want to stress on the importance of an estate lawyer, and also an estate accountant. And remember to take the lawyer's advice on accounting with a grain of salt.... leave that to an actual accountant. In terms of physical contents like family heirlooms...

Hi, started to browse around for a hybrid vehicle and discussing options with wife. Her main concern with Lease is that we'll be making monthly payments and once the lease period ends, we kind of end with nothing but a buyout option to own the vehicle. We have only done financing with a used...

Go for a minivan. You won't regret it. We shopped around for a car while wife was pregnant and considered everything. My wife is 5'2 and she hated the additional height of an SUV when lifting a car seat with baby in it into the SUV. Sliding doors make a world of difference when you have to...

Hi, has anyone dealt with him recently? If yes, can you PM me his contact info please? He used to work for RedLine. Also, anyone recommendation for minor traffic tickets? Trying to see if there's another option than Forch/RedLine with good experience. Thanks in advance.

Hello, just curious: did you folks purchase or lease the EV? Wife and I are having a discussion to seriously considering an EV as a second vehicle for the commute to work (we have a minivan when we need to chauffeur our baby around). When we looked at the smartcar 3 years back when it cost...

Hi all, thanks for sharing your experience. My vehicle is a 2015 Toyota Sienna. I've quoted with the dealer since they said they'll price match on tires, but the total cost is almost $2000, that's including all the sensors and labour. My question now is, I'm pretty sure I have sensors with...

thanks! Those Michelins (latitude X-ice) are exactly what I am looking at. And yes, Costco right now has the lowest price (I called a dealership and they quoted me almost $2000 including rims and labour #facepalm) With Costco, I just have to order the steelies online and bring them in when...

Hello, bouncing off another thread on all weather vs. winter tires, thought I reach out to the community and see if anyone knows of an honest place to get winter tires with competitive pricing, other than the Costco? looking for a brand new set of winters plus steel rims for a minivan Thanks

Thursday night L&L approaching... I do enjoy seeing old friends and the many different bikes & trikes that show up. I don't look forward to the ride in and the ride out. Too many times this year I have witnessed bikes lane-splitting on DVP above speed limit, sometimes riding 2up. I've had...

hello, I'm shopping around for insurance again, and just want to get your opinion on payment periods: 7months vs. 12months the way I understand this is there's the annual amount, and it's either divided by 7 or 12. is there any advantage of one over the other? What's your preference? for...

thanks! 32k+ registered

How many members in the GTAM community? Buddy was guessing 500, i'd like to think it's more. thanks.

It's unfortunate that you got charged. IMHO, do not go "cheap". Pay for the experts, there's a reason why they charge higher rates because they specialize in it. You wouldn't pay a regular family doctor to do an open heart surgery. They are both doctors, but there is a difference. I agree...

My first choice is Bickle. Best value for comfort and protection. Doesn't require breaking them in, and just keeps on getting more comfortable the more you wear them. Low-sided and slid for good distance with HELD Titans gloves. The sting ray patches and the integrity of the gloves saved my...
