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.

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.

Tommychu posted:I don't like ST205s and I don't like RHD cars but I'd almost throw a cheap bid down on one of those Celicas just for shits and giggles. 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.

These gas prices are wonderful i filled up for $39 in edmonton this morning, and will get 600km out of the tank. It's a shame the exchange rate is offsetting the fuel price drop at the grocery store. I only took a hand basket, how the gently caress is that $150 worth of poo poo?

Have you ever been in the edson walmart? it's somehow more depressing than a regular walmart. It has about half the lighting, and bare concrete floors. mcmansions are still a mil out there too, they're each on their own couple acres instead of side by side though.

I used my truck to punch a hole through a knee deep snow drift so i didn't have to shovel a path through it, i got stuck because i forgot to put it into 4x4 before doing so. After thrashing around to get out, my wheels are now super clean, and the truck is still super dirty, it looks awesome. all my attempted pics turned out as blurry crap, i'll try to get one in the morning if i remember. Also, 16* and sunny on sunday in calgary, that's going to be....wet

Gas jumped 11 fuckin cents a liter overnight. you're kind of numb to that poo poo when it's going from 1.30 to 1.41, but when it's going from 72 to 83, that's a big jump.

It's a road rally, in grand touring class, you can't go over 130kph, and there is a target time for each stage, you get dinged for going faster or slower than the target time. There are a couple classes for electrical timing and no electrical timing, and that's where the co-driver comes in. They're not giving you turn by turn course directions, they're managing time. i have researched this a lot.

if you're looking for a dedicated rally car, CPA in calgary somehow ends up with "out of country, parts only" cars that go for $300-$500 in running condition. Last auction there was a legacy, the one before that there were diesel mercedes limos. rallylimo would be pretty hilarious to see.

Timmy Cruise posted:I saw an R33 Skyline today in Saskatoon. First one I've seen here. I find it kind of funny that people run a car with potentially JDM only parts on it in the winter. Why is that funny? they can just overnight parts from japan. There's a 4 door R34 in town here with primer all over it. It's a good looking car apart from that, shame we never got them here, only the dumpy G35/G37 sedans.

That's a big ol' can of worms. Expecially traveling into BC. Legally, you'd need commercial plates, prorated plates at that, and a CVIP and safety fitness certificate because you're over 4,500kg and crossing a border. Although, you're unlikely to ever get caught unless you drive by a scale hauling something that looks vaguely industrial. Still, you'd need liability to cover any gently caress-ups, and cargo insurance apart from that. Moving people for money is an even bigger shitshow of regulations. If it's just casual stuff offering half-gas rideshare on kijiji, i'd say go for it. Otherwise i'd find something more constructive to do. Does that truck even get more than 15mpg highway? doing it in a 30mpg car would already cut your traveling costs in half.

jonathan posted:Damnit all I want to do is get a nice tax return. Basically, I'm going to Vancouver all the time anyways, but I don't want to do it in a small car because, really do you want to travel hwy40 at night in a Ford Focus ? It doesn't have to be a ford focus. My thousand dollar beater beemer does 30mpg. I'd take the increased risk of moose decapitation over a boring vehicle to drive. That and it would be a lot easier to get around Vancouver in something that's not a crew cab long box truck. If you filed a tax return stating you used your vehicle for business without having an actual business to use it for, the gumbent would kick down your door and politely demand their GST cut of it.

They ship quick, but even stuff ordered from the same warehouse in the same order shipped on the same day sometimes ends up getting split and shows up on different days. Even after shipping and customs and the exchange you're likely to be at half the cost of getting stuff locally.

Even if it does tomorrow, it'll take another 5 fuckin years for prices to get back near par. Time to start looking at Europe. Once greece and italy completely poo poo the bed, the euro will hit par, and the mid engine cleo will hit the 15 year exemption.  http://suchen.mobile.de/auto-insera...s=EXPORT&noec=1 mm yes. The year after that the TVR T350 and Tamora.

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.
