Powershift posted:Ford did this in the early 2000s too when a whole bunch of F350s were flowing south, they just blacklist you from buying new vehicles for a year. But how would the dealership or the company even find out? When the VIN shows up at an American dealership with an American owner for service?

Speaking of being in Calgary.... I am moving to Australia for a job starting in January. My parents are in Calgary and for various reasons it makes sense for us (My fiance and I) to drive to Calgary for Christmas. This means we will have Tarrandus, my 1997 Ford Ranger that some of you were instrumental in helping me buy back in May of 2015. I plan to sell Tarrandus in Calgary. I'd like to get together with anybody who might be around in the week between Christmas and New Year's, and if there's any interest there will be a goon discount on the truck. As a general question, what would you look for in an old beater truck? I will probably let you guys see the ad first in any case, and it would be helpful what kinds of things I can emphasize in the ad.

And a regular Class 5 driver's license is all that's needed to drive that thing all day every day. SSS, you still got that post of yours that starts with "you oceanic motherfuckers" ? I saved it when it happened, but that was on my old computer. I'm in Australia and the picture of that truck plus your wonderful rant (and I've started playing Civ IV again) would be nice to have ready to throw at the next Bogan who declares something unintelligible about their ute.

I think it was in one of the AI-wide fast-moving threads, but not one of the monthly discussion threads. Maybe "Post your ride" or "What did you do to your ride?". It was in response to an Australian or maybe a Kiwi complaining about large vehicles in standard-size parking spaces, possibly with a photo of a F-150. Fake Edit: found it! "Post terrible car stuff" I should have just used the search function to start with. Yours is the only post it found to include the string "you oceanic motherfuckers". Which is a real shame, it's a good little phrase and we should all endeavor to use it more. Seat Safety Switch posted:F250? You Oceanic motherfuckers haven't even started on trucks. We've got F550s to do the grocery run with.

I had a good experience with POR-15 on my rusty, rusty bimmer in Saskatchewan several years ago. I bought the "trunk floor kit" that came with everything but the brushes, spent some time ineptly sanding and picking away at the rusty spot, built up the area with the putty they provide, very incompetently sanded that down, cleaned it all up with the cleaner they provided, then slathered it on. Because of what POR-15 is, the final step is to throw away every tool and item of clothing that came within 1m of the work, then cry a single tear for every never-to-be-removed drop of black forever-goo found on any other part of the car (there were many tears that day). POR-15 is pretty good stuff, in my opinion.
