This is true, except for DDC! which is extremely good and not very expensive. Every craft brewery in Alberta blows rear end though.

Psa, in Vancouver the first thing you should do whenever you buy a car is change the tires. Buy two sets. High performance summer and high performance winter.

Tire grip in the rain is nonexistent in anything else.

Never buy the blizzaks or whatever at Costco because you will have even less grip in the rain than your bullshit stock 'all season' tires.

My favourite thing is watching idiots in all season tires try to get their big trucks/SUVs up the small hill I live on in the winter when it's snowed half a centimeter and having them fail miserably.

Until recently Propeller beer was just as cheap as Coors Light and Bud Light, then the NSLC bumped prices and somehow it's more expensive, but still a better deal than most.

There are a few other crafts that are cheap (but still expensive compared to other provinces).

I have buddies in the city who just stop by Propeller every day or two to fill up their growlers, I wish I could do that :(

I keep meaning to get down to the Alderney Saturday market and get some Smokey the Beer by Brightwood Brewery. It is so good. I never seem to get down there though. I hit up North Brewing at Battery Park regularly though. Oh poo poo, beer chat. gently caress.

I just talked to a woman who was the victim of a road rage incident a few days ago. Guy raged the gently caress out, chucked something at her car that left a massive divot. She got out to assess damage and he ran her the gently caress over and drove off.

He was released on a promise to appear and she's got a cast on her arm a brace on her leg and looks like she was attacked by a loving bear.

At least she's out and about enjoying fringe festival.

gently caress cars make them illegal or bring on an economic apocalypse so bad nobody can afford them anymore.

Yeah I'm pretty sure assault with a deadly weapon would still be A Thing even if cars were banned. The problem is that crimes committed in cars are just not considered as serious as they should be. If instead of running the woman over, he'd taken out a gun and shot at her, it would rightfully be attempted murder and I doubt he'd be released on a promise to appear. We don't need to get rid of cars, we need to get rid of the mindset that says you can gently caress around and it doesn't matter that much. That means getting tough on road rage, improving driver education, instituting mandatory rules for recurrent training, and properly enforcing the rules of the road.

Most of the things that can be appreciated in a luxury performance car require high speed and aggressive maneuvering. If you're driving under the speed limit, defensively and considerately then pretty much all new cars feel the same.

What I'm saying is luxury performance car drivers are unsafe drivers.

I see you've never enjoyed the dubious pleasure of driving a Nissan Sentra. Holy christ did that car feel awful in literally every way. The brakes were terrible, the acceleration was glacial, the transmission was a sin against God, the visibility was terrible, and the ergonomics felt like poo poo. There was no part of that car that wasn't extremely bad.

Also, fast acceleration is neither illegal, inconsiderate, nor unsafe, so bigger engines are still better. And better cornering performance allows you to slow down less for corners while maintaining an equivalent margin of safety, which is also fun without compromising safety or breaking the law. Better brakes are obviously a good thing for emergency situations too.

The people who really grind my gears are the people who accelerate extremely slowly, to the point they can't merge onto a highway properly, but end up wanting to go quite a bit over the speed limit. I don't understand those people at all.

As cheap as Coors Light? I had to buy some for my inlaws and I thought the guy made a mistake, http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo/product/coors-light/906628 That poo poo is top dollar. A small coors is more than a big lowenbrau. I don't get it. 2.15 for a small coors, 2.60 for a tall craft (from the brewery). It's mental.

LCBO Vs NSLC. I think we pay around a buck and a half for Coors, Budweiser, and Bud light. If you are buying by the 30 pack that is. Actually I think it's up to 1.75 or so now.

I think being a Car Enthusiast who Enjoys The Driving Experience is a legitimate hobby, it's just like the most basic, boring and overly shaped by marketing one you could possibly choose.

"I love it when I press the pedal and the car goes faster and the engine makes a sound. It amazes me that turning the wheel makes that the car move right or left."

Like ripping on a track I'm sure would be fun, but I can't wrap my head around anyone claiming to enjoy driving on normal roads in normal cities. Safe and legal driving is boring and simple, yet requires your complete attention to do properly, which is a lame rear end combo.

At the point where you are going fast enough for it to be thrilling and require some modicum of skill, you are automatically being a dick, risking fines, and putting other people at risk.

I pretty much file it in the same category as birding or stamp collecting as far as hobbies go.

On beer chat, I don't mind that there is so much crappy micro brews and shittty wine being made. At least more and more people are trying out new recipes, styles, etc. More rolls of the dice means more chances that someone will hit on a style I like to drink. It is a situation I see as preferable to only having the choice of piss lager A or piss lager B.

It wasn't part of a fleet. It was a CEO-only perk.

Was it owned and insured by the company? If so it's going to show up as a fleet vehicle in any car history database, just like any small contractor's truck. Of course a car dealer will tell you it was a CEO car that was only driven to church on Sundays, they say that about every car.

I have no idea who insured it. It was known to be the CEO's car because the employees saw it being driven by him on a daily basis. Not that it matters. Still a dumb decision by the people buying out the lease.

So this is total anecdata but over the past month I've now seen 3 or 4 ads on the local Facebook buy/sell for people looking for someone to do a lease takeover.



This is the most recent one, the person selling it is trying to get a '99/'00 replacement instead.

Up until now I'd seen like MAYBE one ad for lease takeover a year on that page.
