    Good stuff...I detest exercise as any sort of goal. Have flat feet so any walking distance is out. Controlling the food noise is the primary advantage for me. Considering an eBike again for a bit of cardio or an indoor exercise bike....I can watch and exercise....will see what comes up on FB 🍿

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Australia has strict rules on crash testing etc and BYD has been here for a while and well received ....I'm sure Carney will fast track approvals tho Ford could be a problem. Really like their four door pickups.
