We "temporarily" went down to one car during covid. We figured at some point we would have to buy a second vehicle again, in reality once we made the adjustments to a single vehicle we realized we could get by with one. When I drive to work I drop my wife off and pick her up, then we mix in...
My experience with all-weather tires (Nokian) has also been very good. Again Southern Ontario....
When I buy a car I will get a set of snows and swap. Once the two sets wear out (usually about the same time...), I go all-weather and one set--no point in buying two sets of tires at that point.
They recently "increased service levels" on line 2, adding more trains... well it now takes longer to get downtown as the trains are constantly stopping in the tunnels waiting for the train in front of them. Or worse yet you get a short turn and everyone gets dumped off at a station to wait for...
Mid 20s and litre bike (I assume sportbike???) raise flags for me, one of them, is he riding dirty? We all know how much insurance is in these cases.
For me (maybe others disagree), if he is riding dirty (regardless of sportbike or not) that is a major red flag about actually being...
Check the weather... remove the doors (unscrew the hinge from the cabinet side), put the doors in the vehicle. Lay it down, protect it and cover it. Strap it if you are worried about it moving around and/or tailgate is open...
Depending on the quality of the cabinet removing the glass and...
What some may have missed is this is a winter tire that was just going on the car... meaning it came off like this (and was not noticed in spring) and the same car has been driving around spring/summer/fall with other tires.... SO, check the tires that came off for any damage, if they are all...
Pretty much this, but he is a pitcher so he did not pitch every game after the call up, so games played vs games (or days???) on the roster after call up, roster is what matters. Post season is not part of the calculation so 3 regular season games and likely 12 to 13 on the roster (four game...
As for banks... the wife had a charge on her CC from one of those companies that won't let you cancel. She got a new card with a new number (banks advice), then a month later the same charge again on her new card... She was fuming the bank put it through. Lots of time on hold with the bank for...
This location originally had one of those, they switched to the pole mounted ones (here and many other locations) as the ground level ones get disabled very easily with paint etc., and often. When they went to poles in this location they just kept making them beefier and they kept getting cut...
I can't say for everyone else but anyone I knew... Either the teen bought an old clapped out minibike with their money that got ridden on the streets and trails or the parents did buy them a proper MX but took the kid and the bike to proper off-road trails and they rode together with them on...
In our area there are a bunch of kids (minors) riding what are basically multi-thousand dollar electric dirt-bikes, well above 35 kph and no pedals etc. to be found. Constantly flying around in bike lanes, doing wheelies on the street, etc...
The parents obviously bought the kids these bikes...
Being a baller ain't cheap...

As for housing prices we have been watching some around us (Kingsway). There have been a few flips that have sold for ~10% below original (first) ask after months on the market (list, drop price, relist..). Those are the quality jobs with major work, the half...
When I got my very first mortgage the bank offered a small discount on the rate if I paid the PT through them. In a default situation I believe taxes get first dibs, so the bank wants to make sure they are paid up.... new mortgage holders and/or lower equity and/or???
The real advantage to me...
These are also the ones that need to be gone over very carefully before making (or clearing conditions on) an offer because money troubles also usually means differed maintenance... or hidden issues are the reason they are selling at a big loss.
Sort of like buying a used BMW after three other...
FYI.... what is sold today as paint thinner and mineral spirits is not the same stuff as what most of us are used to. In fact it says right on the bottle Mineral Spirits Substitute :(. I needed some a while back, there is not a lot of info out there but the MSDS for the new stuff listed all...
