    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Back then you needed a chauffeur's licence if you made money driving. I got a job driving a 1/2 ton delivery van so wrote the test. Now I can drive an 18 wheeler, not that I have ever sat in one. lol. Did come in handy though, it "grandfathered" me when I did drive real trucks with air brakes.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Not on purpose, back in the 60's & 70's I spent my summers at the cottage, so did my 'M' there. Tester just stood on the street & watched, never got passed 2nd gear, 3 lefts, stop sign, straight through, 3 rights back to tester. Didn't fall off so you pass. Now I'm good to go 401?

    COVID and the housing market

    I use to work for a builder, I did finally inspection before the closing. House and outbuildings are top notch. Well maybe the paint colour not my liking. Included a 25% down cheque with offer. Can only wait.

    COVID and the housing market

    Ah, I may misunderstand, but my offer has not been on the table for 6 months, the listing has. My original offer was 10 days. Ended two weeks ago, so now they have till the 22nd. If they had been upfront and asked more money, I may have been more inclined to play ball. Pulling a stunt like this...

    COVID and the housing market

    Six months, no price change, up or down that's why my offer was 90% of asking. My offer only changed from 10 days to accept to 30 days. Same price. They want to play games and say they have better offer, I say go for it. I just gave them longer to realize I won't play their game.

    Last time in Europe, the one guy that spoke French saved us a few times. If I were to start traveling Europe again, learning French would be high on my list.
