I wouldn't call Zoocasa a particularly reliable source, at least in their often amateur analytics, but there's some interesting info here: The Best Markets in Canada to Buy and Sell in Autumn 2025 I'm kind of surprised at how different Waterloo and Hamilton-Burlington are to the rest of the...

Oh, man, I was obsessed with the various British sportbike magazines of the era as an impressionable kid in my late-teens and early-twenties. Spent far, far too much money rooting around in the Automotive section of the magazine department in Chapters, hunting for copies of Performance Bikes...

I'm getting pedantic here, I know, but I'm not dragging 1000+ lbs onto my wee tailgate, thanks. And if there's two of you, you'd be done unloading, bucket-brigade-style, before you'd finished monkeying with the rope!

Grumpy old man mode for a moment, if you'll indulge me. All these wings remind me of that era not long after the turn of the millennium when all the luxury car makers were desperate to squeeze some F1 design into their cars. The Ferrari Enzo and Merc/Mac SLR come to mind with their hideous...

I think cutting the bottom down would be major surgery requiring so much re-welding that it might defeat the purpose. Would mean re-installing the frame pieces at the bottom all the way around, plus whatever gasket material is there and mounting hardware, etc. If you have the capability for...

We did the same when I switched jobs and gave up a company truck. Figured we'd give it a go and see. In the summer it's painless when I can just take the bike if there's an overlap, but there are occasional pinch points in the winter. Uber/taxis sort that out, though, and it's amazing how many...

100%. Have heard similar from a few different places. Prolite have struck a great balance of price and quality, and are one of the best choices if light weight is a priority. They've kept their prices much lower than the equivalent Safari Condo and Escape trailers, and offer a lot of small...

This is definitely my experience. I have a few buddies who share my love of watches, and my wife calls them my 'watch gang' with far less respect than I would like. She clearly doesn't think we're particularly tough for a gang. Their wives seem to respond similarly... (I've heard people say the...

Having spent some time with friends in Rome recently, I was struck by how different their social engagement with their neighbours is. Because they live in a medium-density city, and work close to home, much more of their social life revolves around walking and chance meetings with friends and...

Same for us. Have had ours on for a year now, and they were fantastic all through the heavy snow last winter. The data on them I've seen is they perform virtually identically to proper snows from 0 down to about -8ish, then the added silica in the proper snows means they start to edge ahead...

Agreed to a point, though the Brits are also often guilty of overstating their own importance while minimising the efforts of the 'colonies'. They're also bad for poking fun at the French and Italians for their predilection to surrender without the nuance that both of those countries suffered...

The half-assed way he loaded that was verging on rage-bait, but impressive nonetheless. Perfect way to ride somewhere and strand yourself through over-fuelling, at least until a day layer...

Oof. Yeah, we went to the Camp Mart in Hamilton, immediately got the heebie jeebies, and backed out as fast as we could. Only talked about bi-weekly payments, and sold only junk brands. One thing I appreciated about Ruston was the sales guy was super up-front about how brutal the depreciation...

That's AI. I couldn't find anything from a real news source that said anything similar. Coastal Oregon, like Washington and BC, does have a serious issue with homelessness, that much is true. Temperate climates and port access to cheap drugs means addicts tend to congregate there, and there's...

I furnished a good chunk of our BC house with really nice old stuff I picked up via online auctions for next to nothing. Have some quartersawn oak furniture, teak shelving, and other odds and ends that were dirt cheap. I also developed a sizeable record collection for very little that way, even...

Might as well continue the full derail at this point... They're mostly all built like crap, especially the volume brands out of Indiana, which is 95% of the models out there. It used to be there were a few brands that stood out, e.g. Winnebago, Airstream, Grand Design, but consolidation and the...

I'd be a lot more interested if it was from the Juno beachhead. Struggling these days to care much about anything American, except maybe dodging their produce at the grocery store. Incidentally, saw the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Rome a few weeks ago. There were Brits, Canucks, Aussies...

Similar for the Canadian-built trailers. We've looked at Safari Condo (best in the business, but pricey, especially when you option them out), Prolite (interesting designs, extremely light and reasonably priced, but a bit small for us bar one model nobody carries), Escape (nice fibreglass units...

I'll relax about Liverpool when they can handle a side who sits deep and hoofs it long to speedy wingers again. Wirtz looked great on the wing (Courtois nearly did them again!), and Bradley and Robbo were back to bossing the corners. It's no coincidence that reverting back to something like the...

We're in the market for a used small travel trailer, and I'll tell you, RV prices haven't dropped as much as I'd like. Sure, they're down from peak Covid insanity when you'd struggle to find a new one, but they've been pretty flat over the past couple years and are still well up from pre-Covid...
