Its in incredible shape for its age and I really want to justify being able to buy it but the reality is it would just be an overweight underpowered alternative to my Scirocco. I think the US specs were something like 2,800lbs and 85hp. I think you should absolutely buy it, then come by and we can get tiny cappuccinos and adopt hilariously bad Italian accents when we call AMA for a tow.

Multi-vehicle ATF instead of ATF-4 in a Chrysler transmission in Alberta... It is going to be too thick or too thin when it's really cold out ? Amsoil says their Multi Vehicle ATF works for ATF-4 requirements until -40 and then cant meet spec. Ahh gently caress it it's -40 like 3 times a year.

It's a chrysler transmission, you could put pure baby oil from fresh squished babies, and it's still gonna snap in half by 100k.

Brother's 300c just poo poo the bed at 110k. I'm getting some odd behaviour from it when cold, so I'm going to flush it over the grease pit and add some of that Lucas trans fix poo poo. Maybe that will prolong it a bit. Then it's LS swap and 6 speed auto time. Or maybe hemi vvti... but eventually I'd like to ebay turbo it.

ex-cop tauruses starting to hit the auctions. most are AWD/cyclone with column shift, if they were the ecboost it would be a perfect car so much room for leg activities. I also saw a hellaflush EG hatch with a fart cannon rolling around the grocery store parking lot in neutral reving like an idiot. I don't know how the gently caress. There are a couple potholes on 67th that run right across, you can't avoid them. most roads have hidden potholes that wreck your poo poo with normal cars. one last year bent the rim on my bmw winters that have as tall of a sidewall as you can fit on the E39.

Michener allen. They usually get added last minute. It's a shame ford even ever offered the non-turbo as an option. It would be pretty awesome to see $5k taurus SHOs everywhere.

Time to head back to Newfoundland claiming he "misses the sea" and ignore debt collectors for the next 6 years. Rinse repeat.

On a side note, the Newfies are some of the nicest people I have ever met, and they certainly work hard. Can't understand them once they're drunk.

Originally yes, but there has been a large population from Mexico (even Belize) that come to Canada. Probably more accurate as "back to Canada" as I think most of them originally moved there from Canada orginally after WW1.

The Mexican Mennonites are all white and intermarry with Mennonite colonies in Canada regularly. They're also the most dishonest group of people when dealing with Law Enforcement I've ever met.

I don't understand how people with BC plates don't know how to drive down mountains. How does a prairie boy know to engine brake or at least space out braking events, while a BC plate car will be holding up a line of cars roasting their brakes down the entire descent? Like dayum, what the hell?

Curious if anybody has any ideas for careers for a guy with an accounting degree and zero desire to go into that field. I'm currently an underwriter for an insurance company and miserable as its just more pushing numbers around. Looking for something more interesting in an industry that actually produces a tangible product or service. Really don't want to derail the thread and sort of embarrassed asking this anyways so feel free to PM me if you have any ideas or suggestions.

I guess it would help if you narrow it down somewhat. Do you want to work with your hands? An office job? Work outside? Do you want to go back to school? 8-5? Shiftwork? Browse, see if anything floats your boat and if your degree is enough for the prerequisite education requirements. https://jobs.alberta.ca/jobs-dynamic.html http://orae-jest.cfp-psc.gc.ca/JEST-ORAE/qcksrch.do?lang=en#res http://jobsearch.monster.ca/jobs/?cy=ca&where=alberta Join the Army

Going back to school is out of the question as I despised university the first go round, ended up switching majors twice and then just said gently caress it let's finish up which is why I ended up with an accounting degree. I'm pretty open in terms of hours so long as I'm not working weekends on a consistent basis. I honestly have no loving clue what I want but it would be nice to get into something with some potential career growth. slidebite posted:Join the Army That would end badly.
