So my OBD2 dongle arrived. I ordered it from eBay and it showed up from amazon. Either I'm losing my mind or I ordered two. I have it as a purchased item in my ebay profile.

Re-posting on the advice of the Western Canada subforum: Madison is three, and she is friends with the daughter of a friend of mine. Her mother, Christina Tupper, is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant. We're not sure where Madison is. Please, if you see Christina, call the local police. We're all worried sick. The "most wanted" page is at: http://www.edmontonpolice.ca/CrimeFiles/EdmontonsMostWanted/ChristinaTUPPER.aspx Christina TUPPER DOB:32 Height:5'7 Weight:140 lbs EPS File #: Hazel eyes; brown hair; tattoos: “Leo” back of neck; 3 circles with 4 lines on right hand TUPPER is wanted on a Canada wide warrant. TUPPER is serving a 5 year 8 month sentence for robbery; drug trafficking; possession stolen property and fail to comply with a probation order. She was released into the community on Statutory Release on December 16, 2013. As of November 4, 2014 her whereabouts are unknown. If located do not approach, call police. EDIT to fix broken link.

This snow is awesome! I made it to work in record time this morning. I knew wranglers were beasts off road but being able to plow through 50cm drifts in 2wd is just way too much fun. I also think it's safe to say that for the money, the Grabber AT2's were worth it. They're not fantastic on ice, but they're a hell of a lot better than the stock dueller rh-s.

Driving into Edmonton yesterday evening Gateway Boulevard was pretty empty at around 6:30, almost made me wish I had a brotruck so I could have some fun as they hadn't gotten the plows working on that road yet. Having a Golf TDI with kick-rear end winter tires and very functional traction control just isn't that much fun.

Ayem posted:Sup Edmonton Golf TDI buddy Gislaved NordFrost 5. The only thing I'm not liking is that my prev car was a `04 Mitsu Lancer Ralliart, it did not have traction control and it revved pretty fast, so it was a blast going through corners So I'm walking home from work today and as I'm waiting for a light to change I see this smaller SUV go through the intersection and it's making a funny noise. I look and see that it's rear tire has come off the rim, in towards the vehicle by like an inch and it's going at a decent speed, like 50Km/h but I'm not seeing that the rim lip is making contact with the road. I got a flat last winter when it was -25 and while I noticed right away and got off the road, the rubber in the tire was so stiff that it never really went fully 'flat' Powershift posted:http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/red-deer/1997-honda-civic-hatchback/1035943322?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Aaron, buy this for your redneck rally next summer

Turfed the old Subaru? -25 tonight to +10 forecast for late next week. I do prefer the south.  So I just ordered a new Tacoma 4x4 company truck a few weeks back since my 2011 is getting miled out. Debating whether to buy it out and flip it or not. Can probably get it for "around" $14K, all in. I have no use for it personally since I'll have the 2015 company truck so it wouldd just be a way to make a few bucks. Thoughts? My gut is telling my yes since Kijiji shows them going for stupid prices although some seem almost reasonable so  but I'm sure a few are scams.Good shape, probably around 150KMs by the time is all said and done. I'm thinking $19K-ish or is that too optimistic?

gently caress shopping locally forever. They sold us up the river, we'll flush em down the shitter. went looking for computer speakers at a local computer store, visions, future shop, and london drugs. 100% of what was available was either logitech or bose. Same with car parts. double the price and always a day away. From now on it's newegg and rock auto.

-30 is hardly deserving of an extreme cold weather report; wimps. Until you're out there trying to start the car when it's -60 out you don't know cold.

Saskatoon's weather report was EXTREME COLD ALERT this morning when it was -31 but windchill was lower than -40; the ALERT was cancelled by mid-day when I looked and the "feels like" was -39. I think they use a calculated windchill of -40 or colder as their threshold for "don't go outside unless you have to".

Yeah, it's supposed to be -26 with a wind chill of -34 tonight with no warning about it. A couple of records were set today. Grande Prairie New record of -34.8 Old record of -28.9 in 1966 Edmonton International New record of -30.0 Old record of -32.8 in 1961 Pincher Creek New record of -34.6 Old record of -27.8 in 1896

There's a whole pile of bad ideas at the ritchie bros auction in saskatoon tomorrow. 50k km celica GT4 https://www.rbauction.com/1998-celica-gt-4?invId=4333245&id=ci 140k celica GT4 https://www.rbauction.com/1998-celica-gt-4?invId=4333244&id=ci 15k RX8 https://www.rbauction.com/2007-mazda-rx8?invId=4344743&id=ci 100k RX8 https://www.rbauction.com/2005-mazda-rx8?invId=4333242&id=ci roadmaster hearse https://www.rbauction.com/1991-buick-roadmaster-hearse?invId=4333241&id=ci ritchie bros isn't usually the normal market for this kind of stuff, so it could go super cheap. It's all from the estate of a guy who had a bunch of tractors and farm equipment, so that's probably why it was all dumped there.

Is their online bidding system decent? it's pretty drat good, but you need to put a 25% hold on a credit card to bid, so to have $20,000 in available bidding money, they put a $2,500 hold on your card. It can take up to an hour to confirm your deposit and stuff, so if you plan on bidding, get it done soon. It doesn't look like my payment has hit my card yet, so i'll have to keep what i have to bid with for when the trailers come up. It would be way too hard to own a wankel without being able to trailer it around, so unless one of the wankels or the low mileage GT4 goes for like, 3 grand i'm gonna have to sit this one out. You can watch/listen to the auction live without bidding and stuff, just to know what you missed. edit: The 15k km RX8 went for $8,500. miled out 106k RX8 went for $3,750. Probably could have made a decent dollar on them. Celicas went for $4,250 and $3,500 but had no importation paperwork or anything with them.

Meh, if it goes particularly high over reserve it's not going to be a [i]great[i] flip. The market on those things is so saturated I'm starting to think about that gen's GT-S, just because they're getting so cheap. That being said, there's also lots of 1ZZs in the yards these days for that reason.

Wait is Regal an actual action house? It just seems like a regular used car lot with a gimmick. Also, this city has the worst snow removal practices I've ever seen in a Canada, it basically consists of waiting for the snow to melt. If they removed the snow before it compacted into ice the commute would be so much less of a horror show.
