March we are doing Porto Plata for a week to shake off the winter blues. The cool kids go to Punta Cana for the white sand and wind surfing. Wife doesn’t need to cook or clean up is vacation enough. Bocce ball on the beach with a President beer while rocking a lobster tan works for me...

I married a French Canadian who doesn’t want to see Paris! I know! Loves wine and bread and art but, she took it off the list! Maybe it’s a reverse psychology thing, I don’t know! But, I mentioned it first and often and she looks at me like I’ve got two heads. She said Ireland and...

Thread revitalization! We are doing the DR in March. However my question is for taking a European vacation in May. Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Italy, Croatia etc. Other than all inclusive trips down to the tropics, we haven’t looked into doing a tourist vacation per se. I...

2015 and newer Foresters are pretty decent. My current 2018 has over 200k and running strong. Not sure when they started the programmed shifts in the CVT but, they work well and never had an issue with the transmission. I’d worry more with Nissan CVT over Subie. The fuel efficiency for...

Try to be in The Rock in August instead of September. Weather unpredictable but, July and August are the two best months of the year. St John’s will have some festivals going along George Street with tons of live music. Heading out of St John’s you can do a light house tour taking you...

How about Cape Breton? Never gets old to me. Can swing the trip down in a couple days at a leisurely pace and spend a couple of days there and then a couple days home. Stop at points of interest along the way.

This is a very important thing to consider.

Ironically, it costs businesses to deposit funds. 3.5%? I don’t think so but, you never know.

I only worked for one institution and wasn’t privy to competitor rates. It does seem on the high side for a difference between the two. 🤷‍♂️

Depends on the overall relationship. Generally speaking it’s in the low hundreds of dollars per loan. It’s not as much as you might think. A lot of variables though. Age of vehicle and APR to customer. Higher the APR, more the kick back. Older vehicle, shorter terms and higher apr but...

Vehicle loans are my game. Unless you go to the secondary market, they are open. Most lenders don’t pay the dealer if it’s paid off within a given time frame. Typically 60 days or more. Most dealers should mention to the buyer if they plan to pay off the loan, to avoid paying off within a...

No cheque/check but, I’m hitting the liquor store anyways! I’ll consider the check like finding money in an old motorcycle jacket pocket…….my money but, makes me smile when I get it!

QC is always an adventure and welcome the company! Use your Oddy for the utility stuff and ev for trips to Costco. I’m keeping the Forester for any trailer/utility stuff I need. Dumping the Kia Soul as it has no soul, no guts and just isn’t any fun. And it doesn’t get that great of...

If new stuff is getting incentives, I’m hoping it improves the used market as well. I’m still fearful of used EVs. I know the batteries have warranty but, I’m more concerned with the electronic controls of things as they age. Understand they are looking to get you in the door and then sell...

New 2024 Vw ID4 pro AWD has $10k off and 0% financing up to 60 months. 423 kms range. Hmmmm………..

Ashley Furniture at Kennedy and 401. I did find charging near my destination. Thanks for making me use my brain and Google search. lol.

Cob webs in the mail box for me too. Meh, it’s only going towards my next bottle of Bourbon and 6 pack of Ultra.

For the life of me, I don’t know how I’m still breathing after the smoke, dust and other crap I ingested when riding. And we had to stop for a cig break when fueling back up! 🤪

Subaru has $10k off and 0.5% financing on their EV. 359 kms max range per charge makes it a little more around towner. I’m frequently driving 400 kms trips and my stops don’t have ev charging. I’ve been looking. I’m keeping an open mind. I’ll likely have to update my panel if I go ev...

I’m gonna miss them. Probably could have given them more business but didn’t make the effort for one reason or another. Which reminds me, I’m gonna stop by Lee Valley soon. They serve a different purpose than TSC/Peavy but, feel they are similar in terms of offering different items than you...
