Ever since I put a pro 5.0 in my car, road noise and heat has been pretty bad through the shifter. Would adding a gasket and replacing the lower shift boot help?

I hate how you have to cut the boot for a lot of aftermarket shifters.. I bet this doesn't help the heat/noise problem.

Interesting, but all it suggests is that pro athletes are healthier than the gen pop so live longer, excluding Linemen who are tubs of goo that get higher rates of heart disease. It make no mention of brain injury, and the quality of life as those who live longer age. Some of the argument against football and brain injury isn't just that it causes death, but that it causes long term mental issues and poor quality of life among those that it does not kill.

My brother bought a full jam Ranger (every fishing toy you can imagine) this summer on a custom trailer for under 20k. Boat has very low hours, never left if the water overnight, never stored outside, always in a climate controlled garage. Gelcoat and upholstery could pass for 6 months old, same for the rest of the cosmetics. Pretty sure it's powered by a 250 Merc. Only thing he's done to it, split the lower unit and replaced impeller and seals as a matter of good maint.
With a new cost north of 60k as equipped, well worth the effort to seek out a used cherry.

Would love me a ranger.

Problem is, once you step up to something like that maintenance is just bonkers. With a aluminum hull I can get away with a 50hp 2 stroke.. not happening with a ranger. That and I can put a few dents and scratches in it and not feel so bad.. again, with a ranger = not happening.

Hmmmm Ranger is feeling a little sick. It will hesitate under load. It started on a simple fun run on Boundary road (after the nasty storm) and I thought it was only because I got water past the tires and got the engine all wet (I fell in a hole, water got IN the cabin). Anyway, after it dried it ran fine. Now it's almost as bad. Fuel mileage is shit too, I seem to average 16L/100km on the highway when I could normally do 11. Going to change the factory 2002 spark plug wires, feels like a spark problem not fuel to me. Just not in a mood to play on the DD when it's -10 outside and the fox is not going anywhere so no garage for me.

I'm gonna drive by on the weekend and see these 12 parking spots on a 50 foot lot with a 6000 sq footer on it

if the asking price was 3.8 million I'd tell ya they're out to lunch

9.8 million is completely retarded

10 million in my mom's hood means you can barely see the 12,000 sq footer from the street....and when the gates open, the theme song from "Dynasty" starts playing......and you can park 40 cars on the driveway

10 mil for that house may seem insane to us. But to some it's just the cost to have a nice big house in Toronto.
You know the same type of people that think 5.5mil is what you pay for a car to park in a garage and not drive.

We are thinking more and more about moving to middle of nowhere. Sick of being around people, make a fart in your backyard and someone will call the city to complain. Then the same person will have guests over and block your driveway. I long for a property where you need to drive to visit a neighbour. Aaaaand we're getting new neighbours though (mixed blessing ~ "the devil you know"), only hope a decent person/couple buys it. With my luck, I'll end up with a freaking douche bag that will call the cops for every fart or cough we make "I hear a saw, better call the city", "his car is too loud, better call the cops", etc... Although I will miss the funnies like "your truck is a piece of shit" or "you bought another Mustang piece of shit" or "stop cutting metal this isn't an industrial park" or "can you mow on a week day, I like to relax on weekends" or "please stop using our lords name in vain when you are working outside".... or "would your family join my church, you should not allow your daughter to go through life without knowing god". I thought they were cool at first. Oh well... Could be worse I guess. I turned my post into a rant lol

That is a lot of house with costly finishes. size matters

lived in the area now for 18.5 years

highest price I've seen in the area is around $3.2 million.....and that buys you a ton of brand new house with all the bells and whistles in a better location

maximum price for a teardown on a 50ft lot is about $1.5 million.....so they're looking for over $8 million more than they paid for the lot....and that place has nowhere near that kinda coin in it

you put that house in Forest Hill on a bigger lot, on a nice private drive with a backyard done to the tits that also houses the 4 car detached garage, and you can start talking in that range.....but not in Willowdale...and not fronting a busy boulevard on a 50 foot lot where you're 300 feet away from a 35 storey condo that blocks your sunsets

imo....the developer and real estate agent here are playing a game to try and break the $4 million dollar mark in the area...it's the only thing that makes sense to me when you put a price tag that's 3x what it should be

Thai cosmetics company pulls advertisement with slogan: 'You just need to be white to win'
By Jocelyn Gecker, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – 1 hour 3 minutes ago

BANGKOK - A Thai cosmetics company quickly pulled a video in which an actress wears blackface and promotes a skin-whitener with the slogan: "You just need to be white to win." The retraction did little, however, to stem a debate the ad ignited about the regularity of racist advertisements in the Southeast Asian country.

The online ad for the new product called "Snowz" featured porcelain-skinned Thai movie star Cris Horwang talking about being an aging actress in a competitive industry.

"If I stopped looking after myself, everything that I have worked for — all the investment I have made to keep myself white — would disappear," says the 35-year-old actress. "New stars would replace me, I would fade away."

As she speaks, a smiling, younger woman enters the picture and Cris' own image darkens to charcoal black.

A male voice says, "You just need to be white to win."

A tirade of criticism erupted after the video was launched online Thursday. Online commentators labeled the ad as racist and ignorant, while some heaped criticism on the actress for accepting the job. Others called it a strategic way to attract wide attention and boost sales.

"Ewwwwwww," was the reaction of 28-year-old Jutamas Tritaruyanon, one of many to post their disapproval on Facebook.

"This ad is so obviously racist and another attempt to brainwash Thai women," Jutamas, a Bangkok-based office worker, told AP. "They're saying that being dark is ugly. It's a narrow-minded and disgusting attitude."

The Thai cosmetics company Seoul Secret issued a "heartfelt apology" in a statement Friday saying it had pulled the video clip and related advertisements.

"Our company did not have any intention to convey discriminatory or racist messages," the statement posted on its Facebook page said. "What we intended to convey was that self-improvement in terms of personality, appearance, skills and professionalism is crucial."

The ad is hardly the first to use racial stereotypes in Thailand, where beauty is often characterized as fair and delicate. Darker skin is often associated with rural lower-class Thais, and the country has an enormous industry in skin-whitening products and cosmetic clinics to help customers emulate the porcelain complexions of the Bangkok elite.

TV commercials for skin-whitening products regularly promote the idea that white is beautiful.

In 2013, the Dunkin' Donuts franchise in Thailand used a female model in blackface makeup to promote a chocolate doughnut. The company's CEO in Thailand initially dismissed complaints about racism, but the U.S. parent company quickly apologized and pulled the ad.

An herbal Thai toothpaste says its dark-colored product "is black, but it's good." A longtime Thai brand of household mops and dustpans called "Black Man" uses a logo with a smiling black man in a tuxedo and bow tie.

OK....so I took a look around the place this morning

parking for 12 = an asphalt driveway and pad at the north side of the house....so no garage

the driveway entrance is actually on Doris ave.....a busy 4 lane blvd

weird property....seems directly behind the house/lot is a sliver of city-owned land with a paved pathway that runs behind the house....so the entire house and lot is surrounded by public sidewalks.....it's like something you'd find on Gov't grounds in Ottawa

they say 6000 sq ft...but it really doesn't look that big ...just a tall stone rectangle.....wonder how small some of those 8 +4 bedrooms are

10 million is soooo out to lunch....they'll be lucky to get 3 million imo.....and the buyer better not like privacy

lots of new monsters being built in that little spot though...should be interesting to watch the madness

Nice, good luck!

But keep the ticket physically in the US until you win. I understand that you cannot bring the ticket into Canada and then take it back into the US to claim it if you win. So if you are coming home, leave it with someone.

Yes, it falls under US terrorism laws that you cannot take a lottery ticket printed in the US out of the country then bring it back in again. Punishable by forfeiture as well as prison time.

Driver sentenced to six months for fatal hit-and-run of cyclist
Miguel Oliveira has been given three months time served

A Toronto man is being allowed to serve his sentence for a fatal hit-and-run on weekends.

Miguel Oliveira was given six months for the 2012 accident that took the life of Tom Samson, three months of that time served. Oliveira will check in to jail at 7 p.m. on Fridays and leave at 5 a.m. on Mondays until the remaining three months is served. He is also banned from driving for two years.

"What he's being punished for is for effectively panicking and not facing the music; not for causing the death. Of course, if he had been convicted of actually causing the death in some criminally negligent manner he'd be looking at a much longer jail sentence I think," explains NEWSTALK 1010 legal analyst Ed Prutschi.

Prutschi adds that weekend-only sentences are only considered for anything 90 days or less.

Samson, a Grade 2 teacher at Swansea Public School and father of two, was struck and killed in November 2012 near Davenport Rd. and Lansdowne Ave.

Crown had been seeking a 12-18 month jail term and a five-year driving ban.

Ive had an open ticket with rogers since Nov 20 with problems with the cable. They are doing major updates because of the soon to be released 4k box and its fucking with everything else. Ive had two different "techs" in the last month come over and both have told me there is nothing they can do to fix the issue.

Call retention dept tell them you are not paying for cable for the month and they will credit it back on your account.

The stress of getting the fox done is adding up. My budget got crushed, our dollar is tanking and spring is coming fast.

Problem is it doesn't make sense to get rid of the EX its paid for, and after only 6months I'm sure I'll lose atleast 10k (tax + whatever I have to lose for them to sell)the f150 is a lease but I was going to buy the new one that I ordered...so it looks like I'll take the Ex, and she gets a new car that she can pick out so this doesn't happen again.

don't ya hate when a solution to a problem is sitting right in front of you..... but you don't realize it for weeks???

problem - on the new pulley apparatus I bought recently....the weight stack goes up in 10lb increments....and it's too much for Jodi....so she gets into situations where she can do crazy high reps with the lighter weight but.... adding another 10lbs kills the form and she can't crack out even 6 good reps

4457

solution - all those little blue dumbbells....the 1 pounders through 4 pounders fit perfect on the top plate of the stack on either side of the cable in between the posts......so now she's got 2lb increments and it works mint

A Cold War-style standoff has flared since North Korea’s claim on Jan. 6 that it tested a hydrogen bomb. South Korea resumed blasting anti-North propaganda broadcasts and K-pop songs from border loudspeakers. North Korea quickly responded by restarting its own border broadcasts and floating the balloons over the border carrying anti-South leaflets, according to Seoul officials.

Are these people full grown adults? Or are both sides run by 5 year olds?

Then why don't you keep the one you have? Why look for a new one?

With me it just comes down to having something very comfortable, good in the not so good weather, have some utility for those times I need it (which seemingly pop up more than I would have expected) and be very reliable - very important for me with my daily commute.

My last truck was excellent and nary a problem in the 80+K I put on it. The big plus with the new truck is I have all of the above and it's just awesome on fuel for what it is/does. And it's peppy as hell.

Because as you emphasized with your last point reliability is key. Things keep going wrong on it, and its starting to feel a bit sketchy and while I really don't care about it when its just me, starting a family has me caring about stuff I didnt before. It seems like all new crew cab 4x4 trucks are 40k+ and thats a lot of dough when I'm lukewarm on the deal. Plus with afore mention considerations I'm probably keeping this next truck 8 or so years, so as much as I really really really want an ecodiesel or ecoboost for the MPG, I will be owning this thing out of warranty.

Yeah they've done this before. I'm waiting for the Gangnam style dance-off in the DMZ.



And then there is this daily event at a border crossing between India and Pakistan, since their last war (contested region).

Naaaah, not my kinda rig.

If I can get my ducks in a row by June.. I'll be financing one of these in either 17 or 18 (used, of course). Fuck it, life is short. I'm apparently supposed to be getting married soon, and then kids in a couple of years. So if I don't do it now, well it will probably never happen.

Most definitely, I have found quite a few already.

A lot of old stock too.. found a bunch of new 2014/2015 with a crazy discount. Kind of worries me though, why didn't they sell? That and outboards are stupid money new.. dunno if I want to take that plunge.

Rick, you fix outboards? :)

^People want the newest and greatest, and I'm assuming that boats are a high markup product. Dealer is probably still making money on that discounted price.

Getting ready to clean out the grout around my tub. And by getting ready I mean doing any other job than that.

Ok, time for normal daily driver. Ranger is either going to get sold as-is or reverted to stock to be sold in late spring. Love the Ranger as it's the only true real mini truck left but not practical when we go out in it as a family. Someone offered me 7k for the Ranger, I should have taken advantage of the opportunity at the time. :(

I want a used full-size crew cab... probably a Ford but I'm not super picky as long as it's not 400,000km and missing half the box to rust like a (*cough*... Dodge)... lol I don't even think 4x4 is crucial, I won't be hitting trails anymore I mean it's fun to go offroading but it's a pretty expensive hobby, trails are pretty far and daily driving a lifted truck = meh. In my experience 4x4 in snow is great but you still get stuck behind retards with summer tires going 15 in a 60... and it's frowned upon to jump the sidewalk to pass them... (hey I only did it once).

I agree but also don't want to end up in jail for child abuse or whatever it would be for putting a baby seat on a jump seat. I get funny looks at daycare because the baby seat is in front. Airbag is turned off but what else am I supposed to do... tie her to the hood? lol
