A few driving pet peeves I’ve noticed recently:

City of Markham has gone nuts putting up “no turn on red” signs at many intersections.
North York has made inter-green time where only the pedestrian sign walk sign lights up
Around my area the have already thrown brine on the roads. WTF

Anyone watching the Brazilian elections? Voting systems that are suspect undermine the whole of society.

Here at home my municipal election vote went into a Dominion machine, which are proven vulnerable. The leadership race between Scheer and Bernier is openly suspect.

You can call an election "the most secure in history" and still have it corrupted, both can be true.

For decades I never bothered to lock my door. I started to a month ago, but my house was burgled anyway. This is an analogy.

i had a SSEi for a very short time lol. long story (knock knock, who's there? its Rod,.....)

I had thought they were the same block between the SC version and the NA one. bit it's been a few years so dont take my word as gosple. however. from what i do remember alot of them had recalls for fire issues. and they were not good for making power. bottom ends where really not up to the job.


if he wants to stick with a v6 what about the newer caddy 6's that the cts got early on. power wise they were pretty close to the sc3.8 i think those were a decent motor.

Don’t see anything in the article on whether these doses are for the new variants. Based on the timeline I’m assuming not. Which means they are obsolete any way. Or are people making the assumption that when they go for a booster they are getting the new variant vac. And instead are getting older versions that are pretty much useless?

Last time I ever do any business with my fellow brown people. Never again.

Paid a guy to do a spoiler delete and a rear bumper install/paint. He went MIA, no updates given to me, nothing, wouldnt respond to any texts or calls.
When I got the car back, he had done patchy work .. fishy eye in the paint ... crack in the bondo .. took the car back, he promised he'd work on it... 1 full week passes... doesnt answer his phone, doesnt answer his texts... then calls me back saying my car is messed up it wont move... it has now been 1.5 weeks.
Yesterday, I went to his house ready to break knee caps.
Car was parked in the front with my keys in the mail box. He still didnt fix sh!!t.
I should have listened to my brown parents, never ever do business with brown people.

If you have a business, make sure to get back to your customers. And if you mess up your work which the customer paid for - re-do it.

it isn't age or skin color. It's culture.

The school system indoctrination is our biggest local cultural effect, only strong parenting or home schooling can subvert that.

Others who were born and raised elsewhere may have different cultural habits. A person of any color raised in a culture where this type of poor behavior is normal will behave the same.

My dryer was particularly noisy last night, big thumps and clunks. After 15 minutes or so I decided to go investigate. I opened the door and there was my phone case. Dug a little deeper and there was my iPhone 8.

No cracks or broken glass, turned on immediately.

It went through a heavy duty wash cycle with my work clothes (cold water) and then dryer time.

A little bit of water film in the screen but still functions fine.

I'm not a fan of smart phones or Apple's form of censorship but credit where credit's due.

You know, as a kid I grew up driving rear wheel drv vehicles on bias ply snow tires on roads that were snow covered a good chunk of the time. While you did see crashes it was nothing like what you see today in spite of AWD, ABS, Traction control n ubber sticky snow tires on roads that seldom have much if any snow of them and are always coated with Brine and more Brine.
Why does it never dawn on the powers to be there is something wrong with our lic system? Drivers today are abysmal (for a variety of reasons including untrained, ignorant, self absorbed and most of all selfish I'm the only one that matters pricks).

No sure if I posted already, couple Friday nights ago on our way back from dinner, very cool being stopped at an Old Skool Ride check. Took all of a couple minutes between slow down and speaking to the uber pleasant officer before being on our way. Bet it's been gone 10yrs or more since I've seen or been stopped at one. When we moved here, common to see them set up under the Kennedy Bridge or random other spots, need more of it.

I agree. I took skid control and racing courses when I was young, (I'm old now) and I've always felt they should be mandatory. The level of instruction for drivers here in Ontario and much of North America is pitiful. I spent 5 years as a driving instructor, and tried to teach some elements of emergency car control, but got shut down by the bosses when parents complained I was teaching racing. Here, 12 hours of in car instruction, no emergency maneuvers, and no skid control is the norm. In Germany and most other European countries, 100 in car hours is a minimum.

Over the years. we've driven about 25 times to Florida and back, usually in January. There were always several overturned cars in the centre median and inevitably they were 4x4's. The sheer blind faith these people had in thinking their 4x4 system would overcome the laws of physics is laughable.

Car buying process well and truly makes me want to die owning my current truck and never buy anything else again.

Glad I bought all 3 of mine just before Covid. Wife was interested in a new Toyota…8 mth to a year for delivery. Will keep the Elantra Limited, only has 44k km’s on it .

I just hate the dickering. Hey ya your trade is clean and needs literally nothing, but you have a carfax claim for a fender and hood so here's an offer about 10k below average retail. But also the vehicle we have priced as clean and perfect has major paint chips on multiple panels, steering pops cornering, has a major dash warning claiming its 200km away from derate, says its well overdue for fuel filters and oil, fender flares packed with mud and missing floor mat. But we think it's worth the top of market price and won't budge off ask.

This is the third truck I've gone to look at that was "no issues super clean nice unit" that had either rust coming through, interior pieces destroyed or missing, and had noticeable suspension problems but the price is the price.

^ I don't allow them to play me that way. Won't talk price of what I'm interested in, won't talk what my trades worth, will only talk price difference plus tax then make them a one, make that only one time offer cause I'M A ONE PRICE CUSTOMER. Key for me, don't get emotionally invested in the potential new ride, that way you don't fawk yourself over. If that doesn't work for them, I'm ok with spending money elsewhere. Most hassle free deal I've ever made, Bill from Heritage.

Joe Van Overbeek, the hall of fame guy was committed to a particular model of suburban. He had a few bodies, bucket of spares and would just maintain one or two as roadworthy. Last I spoke to him he was planning to be running them until he no longer drives.

Just like I've built an aversion to smart phones (yes I have one, but will not replace), I'm not a big fan of modern vehicles that can be monitored and possibly even shut down by a 3rd party. And yes I'm single.

Wim Hof breathing, pshaw. I blow my nose at you.


I was lifting in my basement gym (travel time 10 seconds). I had YouTube running, with Bill Burr.

I now practice the Burr breathing method. 5 reps into a 10 rep set and I start laughing. I finish the set, the whole time laughing. This happened a few more times.

I'm calling dibs on the new latest breathing fad, Bill Burr Breathing (BBB). There may be a Gervais variant coming.

Looks like the mounting bracket doubles as a charger?

Correct about the bracket. It comes with an 120V wall and a 12V car charger.

A rich young woman sat beside a poor elderly man on a plane. She alerted the flight attendant upon taking her seat.
The flight attendant answered warmly, when the woman abruptly said, “Please find me another seat immediately.” The flight attendant responded, “I’m sorry Ma’am, but the economy cabin is fully booked.”
The rich woman replied, “But I’m not going to travel beside a worthless bum. Do something.”
While the elderly man stared in disbelief, the flight attendant responded, “I’ll talk to the Captain about this.”
The flight attendant went to the Captain and asked, “Captain, a woman feels uncomfortable sitting beside a poor elder man. What should we do?”
Surprisingly, the Captain’s face changed. He looked amused and said, “This woman is interesting. I’ve never encountered an issue like this before. I have a plan. Listen..”
And the Captain relayed to the flight attendant what he wants to do. The flight attendant was stunned at his plan. In fact, she was amazed.
A few minutes later, the flight attendant returned. “The Captain said we could use an open seat in First Class. He also wants to apologize for having to travel with such a terrible person.”
As the woman rose out of her seat, the flight attendant reached out her arm towards the poor elderly man. “Sir will you please follow me?” To which the plane applauded.

Truck in for service. Dealer gave me a Lightning for the night drive home

Optioned very similar to our F150. Only thing it don't have is the sunroof.

Standard range. Lariat.

Keeping in mind my truck is a 2021. 2 inch lift 5.0 with borla exhaust.
The silence is almost eerie but man does it motor.
Ride is fantastic for a truck it’s like driving a car. Feels actually light a nimble in parking lots. Which I wasn’t expecting.
