Post whatever is on your mind!!

[Amsoil Guy]

Congrats Mark! We had a small wedding only cost about $7500. Was done by the Embassy Suites in Niagara Falls they turned a room into a chapel and we overlooked the falls, had reception at The Keg in the hotel it was awesome. Best wedding I've ever had lol.

[92redragtop]

So MissBB put a marriage application for a license in front of me last night.. We were planning on getting married anyways and I told I would 2 years ago. Bout time I made an honest woman outta her!! (before she changes her mind) lol
We were gonna do the whole wedding thing, then after adding up the cost and at a minimum of 20 grand for a one night party, just didn't seem worth it to either of us..
So, we're gonna get an Ordained minister and he can perform a very small informal ceremony in the back yard. Have a few witnesses, have a bbq, and some drinks. Badda boom badda bing we're married!! lol
Talk about romantic eh!! ;)
Everyone's invited!!!! Come for the BBQ, stay for the hot tub!! LOL :P

Congrats! That's the way to do it - you'll have more to splurge on the honeymoon trip (of course Clive won't be happy if you go away).

[92redragtop]

Booked for Guernsey and London in August...the day after I get back from vacation at Long Point. Just enough time to do laundry and pack! London hotel is across the street from Buckingham Palace so should be cool.

Civic gone, new car tomorrow. Love the kijiji "I'll give you 200 cause I have to clean the dog hair". Your problem, not mine. Ah well, it is gone, and judging by the guy it'll probably be wrapped around a pole or in a ditch within a week.

[Intmdtr]

Yeah we've looked at some places. A few we really liked. But at 150 to 170 per head and a hundred people. (which most places say you need to have). And then still all the other costs. Flowers, dress, tux, limo, DJ, minister, gifts etc etc etc.. WHOA!!!

The backyard at the Hot Tub Wine Machine is just so much better.. AND I have my smoker there :) lol And Clive will be there which is cool.. So realistically we could be doing this within the next few weeks..
Congrats, seems like a good plan, Tracy and I will be married as of July 23rd. Small ceremony at our place and then finger foods at a local establishment with booze music and dancing. I think we are at about 7k in costs......

[ZR]

^ Nice.

You do of course know it's long overdue strapping a Mustang back to yer butt???

[baddbullitt]

I rolled up 93,000 the other week!!! :)

Funny you should mention that Rick.. I am looking at getting another weekend toy.. BUT.. I'm looking at a Porsche... Either a mid 80's 944 or an mid 2000 Boxster.. But that could change..lol.. It all depends on what MissBB lets me get.. However if I show up at home with one I'll just say this is your wedding present!! :D LOL

[ZR]

Wedding plans = awesome news.
Mustang = cheaper to buy and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper to own. Anyone that has one knows exactly what the phrase "Porsche tax" means, cool cars though.

[baddbullitt]

Oh I know.. I've always wanted a lil Porsche.I can pick up a 944 for around 8 and they're simple to work on. A Boxster for around 10ish, and not sure how they are to work on..lol.. My brother inlaw had a Boxster and it was a fun car!!
. A Grand National has always been at the top of my list... One day!!.. As for another Pony. I can't decide on which one I would want right now.. I think these German cars have ruined me for anything North American... I would take a new GT350 anyday however!!! :D

[92redragtop]

I think any service on the Boxster means almost removing the engine?

[Laffs]

I consider Porsche to be the greatest Marque of all time, but I wouldnt buy a 944 if you paid me, same goes for first gen Boxster.

[baddbullitt]

Reason?

Just so I know what I could be potentially getting myself into..

[Laffs]

All I know of the 944 is a nightmarish ownership experience, wrought with timing chains, electrical, gaskets. They all seem to fail a lot and require special Porsche parts and tools to repair.

Boxster, all the 8k ones you see on kijiji are of questionable vintage and honestly first gen Boxsters weren't great. Many had crappy terrible stereos and didnt even have door speakers. They eat tires and brakes like its going out of style. Also a lot of Boxster's (00-05) are affected by the Porsche IMS issues, which if that goes, enjoy buying a new motor for $7k+

[Laffs]

I think any service on the Boxster means almost removing the engine?

You have to remove a bunch of shit to get the "engine cover" off but ya its cramped as F even then. You can do like belts and stuff that way...

[baddbullitt]

Hmmm. Good to know.. Thank you for the information.

[Laffs]

Went through this when my Uncle wanted a small fun Roadster for not a lot of money. He ended up with one of these http://wwwa.autotrader.ca/a/BMW/Z3/GUELPH/Ontario/19_9447805_/?showcpo=ShowCPO&orup=10_15_21

[baddbullitt]

I don't mind the Bimmers myself.. I was reading an article called 10 things I learned about buying a used Boxster... Quite scary to find out how plagued these cars are!!! I think the engineers were on acid or something..lol

[Scrape]

Time flies for sure. My car is already coming up on 7 months. I also agree that a Grand National would be awesome to own. I saw one the other day at the Back Alley Cruisers Monday meet and was it ever beautiful. Wasn't a fan of the wheels that was on this car but a frame off restoration was done on it.

[The Newmare]

holiday's......T minus 2 hours,let the count down begin!!

[Ray721]

Do NOT get a Boxster!!! My dad has one. They are unbelievably GUTLESS and VERY expensive to fix. They sound terrible and did I mention gutless...

They "drive" really nice though. Very solid and responsive. They look pretty good with the top down as well. But they're unforgivably gutless.

The stereo isn't very great. The interior is very meh to look at like all Porsches really. It's just a generally underwhelming car. Get a used Vette or something if you don't want a Mustang.

I hear ya buddy.. My brother in law had an 09.. Amazing handling car, but you're 100% right on the gutless part.. Maybe I should just hold out for a 911 or a 928 in great condition!! I love them late 80's 928S4's!! :) I do know they're prone to timing belt issues every 100,000K's..

[03svt]

If you can find a manual 928 for decent money I think it'll be a wise investment.

My love for Porsche started with my uncle's 88 928S4, it was stored at my parents house during winter, my brother and I would sit in it for HOURS! It became a bit of a nightmare though, it was traded for a 96 911 TT which I'm sure my uncle wishes he still had now!

The 928 had died, went in for service, guess my Uncle was called with the quote, he gave them CC # to go ahead with repair, short time later Visa called him saying typically people don't buy cars on their CC, had to explain that he didn't buy a car that his Porsche was Getting repaired.

I stopped looking about a month ago, but 928's and 911's was my daily search haha

[baddbullitt]

Completely relate.. When I was 16.. My second "car" job was working at a small German car repair shop in Mississauga. They mostly had Porsche's there.. I completely fell in love with the 928 and still almost 30 years later still have that love for them.. I was fortunate to get to drive a few of them (never far) however the boss would let be drive the 944's to get coffee's... The 911's and the 928's I never got far out of the parking lot...
Shame that most of the 928's were auto's.. I still shop around for them here and there thinking one day I will have one!!! But like you said, find a nice manual one! BINGO!!! :)
Besides the look of them, they're the only Porsche that had a V8!!

[Blackmare]

My dad just sold his 89 928. Was a stick car and in amazing shape. Only had it about a year and I never got a chance to drive it.

I thought he had sold it - turns out he traded it in along with his MKX on a new Cayenne.

Agreed - Explorer looks really good!

Why do so many people feel the need to comment on new babies when you are out in public? Although I found that you can get them to go away pretty quickly when you answer "Is it your first?" with "First one the government hasn't taken away."

EVAP can take several drive cycles to go ready, takes even longer in cold weather.

[Uncle Buck]

So my sweetheart dumped water on her fairly new laptop and the keyboard shit the bed. I knew it was only the keyboard because an external worked fine. Now, I know jack about laptops but was motivated to fix it rather than buying yet another new laptop. Lucky me our HP does not have the cheap and easy to replace keyboard like most but rather the kind that are integrated with the entire top cover and unique to certain models. $350 US from HP...yikes

Hit the web and found one from some US keyboard place for $109. At our door 4 days later and last night I tore the laptop apart and I do mean apart. Buttoned it up and it works as good as new.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Nicely done.

Al, go on Amazon and order a glass screen protector, better then a case in my opinion, I've cracked the screen protector peeled off and screen under was perfect, the thin plastic ones are only really to protect from scratches

[NickD]

went to get an e test tonight, spent about an hour there and was told they could not do it and come back later (seems there is a camera with the test equipment and it would not transfer to the computer)
I failed my first attempt and was told its 17.50 for the second, does anyone know if that holds true if I go somewhere else?

Good news to come, have the day booked off tomorrow to go pickup my new headers and parts from my US mailbox

[ZR]

I thought you only had one not ready? Is engine light on as well or have a pending code?

[stangstevers]

Summit Racing doesn't dick around... 2 days to get parts delivered? I don't remember it being this fast.

[NickD]

I thought you only had one not ready? Is engine light on as well or have a pending code?
I do (just evap no lights etc), first e test was a couple weeks back with the rear o2s turned off (showed 3 not ready). Last night did not fail they literally never got to that point of the test as they either had equipment failure or couldn't figure out how to use it, so was just a waste of time.

Audi want's 250.00 for the fronts and 150.00 for the rears... Then installation.. I found an aftermarket (recommended by some Audi peeps)
Akebono, they're 180 for the front and 100 for the rear.. So there's a bit of savings there.. I have found that all the really good stuff is located south of the border!! We're limited up in the great white north for over the counter items..

One of Joanna's co-workers has a buddy who works on Audi's out of his garage at home and will throw them on the car for 100.00. Better than the 500 labor cost from the fine Krauts at Audi!! LOL

[RedSN]

Two things I don't mind spending a few bucks on: tires, and brakes.

Just remember the old adage: you get what you pay for.

[baddbullitt]

So true.. Brakes are an import part, however being what it is, I don't like getting bent over the hood without being kissed first ;) lol

[RedSN]

After having put some good brake pads on the Mustang, I don't consider 250+150 all that bad.
Carbotech XP8's were 315+270.
That Audi is capable of some pretty high speeds.

[baddbullitt]

Capable yes, but I drive slow.. Mainly cause I'm old now..lol..

carry on then :D

[92redragtop]

Same here - OEM brake pads (Volvo/Brembo) for the Volvo R were $240 (front) and $220 (rear) 1.5 years ago so will be higher now but I'm not cheaping out on brake, suspension parts or tires. If you're buying a car like that use the first line stuff. For planned maintenance items I buy my parts in the US which helps to take some of the sting off although the FX rate has reduced the savings somewhat. Brake parts are heavy though so a Niagara pick-up run would help if you combine with other purchases.

[ZR]

I hear you Don. Carbo Tech track pads for the Cobra came in at a hair over $800 this year.
XP 24 fronts / Brembo
XP 10 rears / Cobra

[baddbullitt]

That's a lot of cake there Rick!! But not surprised when it come to track pads!!

[ZR]

Rears are aggressive street, fronts are a track only pad. They do a stellar job of slowin it up lap after lap though.

A buddy at work went 2 years in a row, both before and after the changes and said it was quite different, and you really didn't need ear plugs with the new setup. To me, part of the experience is the sound,smell, feel so I'm really hoping they make changes that will also translate into better sounding motors.

I went to the F1 race in Nurburgring in 1998 and a couple times to Montreal when they ran the screaming V10's and it was fantastic....hoping for some of that back.

Doesn't everyone turn it off when you take the food off the grill? Not sure how one forgets that....that's like taking the pot off the stove but not turning off the stove.

Getting the driveway paved tomorrow, finally. Tough on the pocket at $5k but at least my snowblower won't be a gravel machinegun next winter and washing the car won't make mud soup anymore.

I dont understand why this entitled prick of all the clear as day light parking spots decides to park crooked beside my car enough to make it difficult to open my door for a passenger. That entire side of the parking lot was super clear. This is the second 3rd time something like this happened. Why the fuck cant you idiots park right? FFS!?

Because it is primarily a woman that drives those big ass SUV. I've seen them park and then leave it crooked so many times. Mind guys are no better too.

?doesn't look crooked to me?

[92redragtop]

I was unloading my car in the parking garage at work and a woman in a BMW X1 drove in to park across the aisle between 2 cars (wide spot) and slammed into the SUV on the right. No idea what she was thinking or doing. I saw her turning in my peripheral vision and thought nothing of it until I heard the bang. There was a pregnant woman unloading her purse/bag from the other side of the SUV that got hit....naturally, total disbelief. She was ok. I went back at lunch to look at the X1 and it had pretty good damage to the passenger front fender and bumper (scratched the headlight but not broken), walked around to the driver side and guess what....same type of damage. BMW driver was late 20's/early 30's....child seat in the car.

It is the rear was closer to my front fender. Point is there were 10 staight spots completely free of cars and the idiot desides to not only park beside my car, but super close to it

I was once doing environmental remediation work at a gas station. Lady clipped the cement filled metal post that is designed to protect the pumps with the front corner, proceeds to back up and then scrape the side of the van against it straightening out. Fills up and pulls out, which is when I noticed that the other side was also similarly damaged. Guy I was working with and I just stood there dumbfounded. Some people just shouldn't be driving.

:thumbs: me too. went to Lion's head- everything was ok till kids & wife decide they want to check out graig caves. The road is all gravel large rocks- just got the car lowered- going like 5 km/hr pull over when the occasion car whizzes by throwing rocks all over the place- 2 kms at least to get to the place took like I'd say a good 1/2 hr. pull in now the roads are like mini off road hills to the grass parking lot - then when we get out of the car kids decide they don't want to do it and that there are 2 many bugs! I would have said lets do it but they charge $10 adult( ea) and $5 kids ea and the make you sign a waiver in case you stumble and break your neck-

anyway hopped in the car and slowly off loaded it back

I had a boat for a year, used it 3 times. You'll use it lots if you have a cottage by the lake. Otherwise loading everything up for a couple hours on the water gets old pretty fast.

Buy the boat (keep the mustang) use it for the rest of the summer and then decide over the winter which one you want more and sell one in the spring when prices are high for either.

Boats are awesome if you're single and rich. Otherwise they cost a shit tonne of money for very little use.

[Amsoil Guy]

You guys are buying the wrong boats. Boats can be awesome.

I think Vehicle > Boat but that's just because there is only so much you can do on a lake unless it's a Great Lake or it connects to other lakes. I love going to my parents cottage but being a small and very busy lake it gets boring after an hour. ATVing and Sledding is SOOOOOO much better! Endless possibilities!

[baddbullitt]

Deciding to spend money on a boat is not to be taken lightly.. What are you using it for primarily? I have buddies who have kick ass Bass boats and go fishing almost every weekend. If you have a cottage then a boat is pretty much a must, or a PWC.. Growing up on Lake Simcoe every summer was always fun.. Boating everyday. But now that I'm not there, just doesn't seem as important.
Last year I was debating getting a boat and a tow rig and start camping more, but at the end of it, how often would I really be going camping. Would seem like the boat would only get used a few times a year, and when you're investing between 20-40K (depending on the boat) would just seem like a waste of money!!
Would still love to have me a nice speed boat, but I's rather have a place on the water before pulling the trigger on that..
I did however talk to Joanna about selling the house and living on a boat full time.. She's open to the idea, but now's not the time for us.. Maybe in a few more years!!

[hsousa88]

The 'Bust Out Another Thousand' term really depends on what kind of boat your talking about.

A used deep v aluminum can be found used for under $10k ready to hit the water. If your talking 20ft+ fibreglass boats with a 250 on the back.. Then yeah be ready to spend some coin on purchase and maintenance.

I love my 16.5 alum with a 50 merc.. But it's strictly a fishing machine.

I'm out every weekend from April to November. Then again I don't have kids.

Glad I posted up my intentions guys, helpful advice really.

Was thinking 18-20' bow rider, something I could fish off of and wifey could lay in the sun. I didn't do my research on maintance or reliability.

Fuel isn't really an issue, tank of fuel for the day out on the water isn't a deal breaker... BUT thinking if I don't have a ton of time to drive the car I just have to pull out of my garage how much am I going to use the boat that I'll have to pull to destinations....

Thanks for the advice guys.

I married into a family with a boat access only cottage. Huge expense for not that much use besides going back and forth. And did they get a pontoon boat to make it easy to bring supplies over? Of course not, they got a bow rider for all that tubing and water skiing they have never done with it. At least with a pontoon you can fish comfortably and haul lumber over.

Honestly, rent a boat a few times and see if you want one. And add up all the costs you think you will encounter and double it. Unless you fish a lot or have a cottage it probably isn't worth it.

Yeah, I'm not a boat fan. But I have thought about getting a cheap sailboat for the cottage. Because I too am crazy.

last major mod was the dashboard....and then I had some paint correction done.....car is basically unchanged since then

when my wife got sick last year I just kept the car covered up in storage mode....cause it was far from a priority

but we knew prior to 2014 storage that axle fluid was leaking into the rear drums....so this round of surgery is far from glamorous.....the rear end is a 1940s style primitive pain in the ass

but to have the starter give up the ghost while sitting about 25 feet away from Rick's hoist was a fucking bonus

Dog rescued from sweltering vehicle in Toronto
The owner has been given a fine and a lecture

Posted on 7/25/2016 5:52 PM by Hayley Cooper
Courtesy: Twitter

A woman out shopping in Toronto is lucky to be returning home with her dog.

Police were called to Dufferin Mall just before 5 p.m. about a dog left in a sweltering vehicle.

The windows were left open, slightly, and a door was able to be opened without damaging the vehicle.

The Border Collie mix was rescued and given water until the owner came back.

She has been given a $125 fine under the Provincial Offences Act.

People who had gathered in the parking lot, waiting, were also given a chance to lecture the dog's owner before she left.

My family dog is a Border Collie mix, amazing dog, but she really enjoys the AC when it gets hot. I'd probably have said some colourful remarks to the woman had I witnessed that.

[RedSN]

facing an angry mob when she got back will likely (hopefully) leave a more lasting impression than a larger fine.

New record Hydro bill - June 15 - July 15, yes it has been hot and the air conditioning has been on but really - $702.98. (wonder if I could make payments on a GT350 for this.....)

The wife just retired this month, I may have to send her back to work. All I need now is someone to tell her!!!!!

That's crazy! large house?

Then I'd sell the a/c and get that payment going on the R! (assuming you can find one at MSRP)

[Scott]

Yes, lots of room but too much grass to cut and don't get me started on the taxes in King Township.

Would be nice but the Boss will not let me buy a new car and yes she wears the pants in the family. However, I have not ruled out a Coyote swap in my 08 yet.

Jeebus, now I'm curious how big of a house haha, my 4000sqft is about half your hydro w/pool running 14hrs a day and a/c cranked..

Over 6000 including the walk out lower level. I have pretty much got the kids (grown adults who can't afford to move out in this economy and housing market) to turn out the lights as they leave a room but we have at least 6 cable boxes sucking power all the time. Which reminds me good old Rogers is going to up the price of TMN next month. We still have two patio doors to replace (3 done so far) and about 8 more old wood frame windows to do. I was amazed at the difference a new window makes. Stand in front of an old one and sweat from the sun and in front of a new one and you feel nothing.

[Armen]

Do you keep your windows covered with drapes/blinds on hot days? When I moved into my new place the walkout patio door to the back was uncovered (never had been apparently). The sun would come in thru that one in the morning and warm up the house pretty quick. I covered it with some heavy black out type drapes and it made a big difference - so a/c didn't have to work as hard and came on less. I've since replaced the a/c and the furnace with new hi-efficiency units anyway but I figure every little bit helps.

[hsousa88]

That is a retarded hydro bill... I pay less every 3 months.

I have a century home with original single pane windows in the lower level. Central air, three fish tanks and a pond out back running. And have yet to break 180 per month.

Main floor and upstairs absolutely, however my daughter has German Shepard's running wild downstairs and they make short work of any door or window coverings they have access to. Not necessarily deliberately just enthusiasm if you know what i mean.

When I shut the cottage down for the season I have a $100 bill each spring with zero usage.

You bring up a good point, we have a large pond with a 1HP pump that runs during the day. Have had it shut off in this heat as the pond is very low with the little rain we have been getting.
This is staring to make sense, effluent pump and well pump etc, etc.

If the Boss would go for a gas dryer we could probably save significantly. This would be a great idea as we could have a gas line installed in the garage at the same time!

[5.4MarkVIII]

Electric dryer and electric water heater are your big users.

Due to space and location we could not go with a gas water heater so I installed a hybrid that uses electric as well as a heat pump. It was an expensive unit but when I added the big pond pump to run the water fall my bill stayed pretty much the same. Also went threw the house and replaced all the lights I could with led's.

we're booked into this awesome little place called "nowhere near the fucking office"

looking forward too:

1) grocery shopping for two days instead of seven
2) walking at a stroll's pace instead of keeping up with joggers
3) taking a typical 1 hour/ 2 beer task in the garden and stretching it out to a 3 hour/6 beer task
4) getting up at 630am to water the lawn, instead of 530am to get on the subway

BBQ'd teriyaki chicken breats for tonight's dinner.....ribs tomorrow....mmm mmmm...and we'll go from there

[Blackmare]
