    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    It's actually illegal to rebadge a car if you're adding something that isn't true, eg replacing a tesla badge with an audi one. If the car is involved in a crime and someone who doesn't know cars well reports it based on the badge, now the cops are looking for the wrong car.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Jay Leno test drives the new Scout prototype: I'm really liking the new Scout SUV and pickup. I love the idea of a gas range extender too. Unfortunately these cars will be a bit beyond my budget.

    BC Roads - What to ride, what to skip?

    Remember, on these roads the limit is 80 or 90, and the roads often go through small towns where you have to slow down to 50. You are not maintaining highway speeds all day. I rode from my house to thunder bay in one day, that was like 1300kms or something. Tough but doable if you start riding...

    BC Roads - What to ride, what to skip?

    Haha nobody is making it to edmonton from the GTA in 2 days on a motorcycle, and you're definitely not maintaining an average speed of 120, there's cops all over those roads. I got a ticket for going 98 in a 90 on hwy 11 somewhere near geraldton.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I think the point the article is trying to make is that even if you jump into the market at the worst possible time you'll still do fine if you don't panic sell. Of course that assumes you have a long investment horizon to wait for your portfolio to bounce back if it crashes. I am nowhere near...

    Motorcycle dashcams

    How are you viewing the video? If on your phone, it's probably hard to make out the plate. If you copy the video to a laptop you can zoom in on it and see, at least that's the case with my camera. I mean I can't make out plate numbers on every vehicle way off in the distance, but it doesn't need...

    Motorcycle dashcams

    In my opinion the key to a good motorcycle camera is that it needs to be set it and forget it. You wire it into a switched power source on your bike and it automatically turns on when you start your bike, turns off when you stop the bike, and you never need to remember to do anything. I used to...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Bad choice, even if you correctly predict that the market will crash, you can't predict how long the crash will be and when or how fast it will rebound. You will almost certainly be worse off than if you just stayed in the market. Here's a good story about "bob, the world's worst market timer"...

    Converting old video tapes?

    Another way to do it is to use a usb tv tuner (one that supports NTSC) and hook up a VCR to it, then use video capture software to save it to your hard drive.

    Electric Lawn Mower?

    The wheels on my 2 stage spin a lot in snow. I wonder if tire chains would help.

    Electric Lawn Mower?

    I'm worried about what's gonna happen when it starts melting, hope the sewers can handle it.

    Electric Lawn Mower?

    Yeah I doubt I'd pay $150+ for one but I'm seeing a lot of them on the king of the north auction website and thinking of getting one if I can snag it for under $50. Example CORDLESS SNOW SHOVEL ADJUSTABLE FRON… | King of the North Auction

    Electric Lawn Mower?

    Spray some car wax inside your snow blower, it'll help with sticky snow. Or even cooking spray. Btw what do you guys think of the battery powered snow shovels, are they worth it for when the snow isn't deep and you don't want to bust out the snow blower? I mean this...

    2025 Newfoundland

    If you gonna be in nova scotia, I did highways 211 and 316 a couple summers ago, very twisty with almost no traffic (or anything else for that matter), but the pavement had lots of potholes. On cape breton island, I decided to try riding the east side of the island, there was a road called...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    So if a dealer is selling a car for $25,000 and you choose not to finance, he won't let you have it for the advertised price? That's crazy if true.

    Chromeburner is bankrupt

    Don't you need to remove the visor to give it a good cleaning? At least that's what I do, it's hard to work a towel in there while it's attached. Another thing I find about this helmet, is since the vent on top is so big, I'll often get big bugs stuck in there and that's really annoying to...

    Chromeburner is bankrupt

    I got the Shoei GT Air 2 and honestly it's not worth the price. The visor removal mechanism is extremely awkward and clunky. The fit and finish is no better than my Bell and Scorpion both of which were a third of the price. I'm not saying it's a bad helmet, just that you can get something...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    LOL I admit I know nothing about them... I just like rooting for the under dog and I don't see many Mitsubishis on the road. But it does look like a lot of car for 48k just based on reading the webpage. I guess mitsubishi has to undercut the more popular brands on price in order to compete.
