I see it almost daily in Lethbridge, shocked you don't in the Hat since it's even more inbred there. Other Alberta news, some rich Calgary gently caress made Yahoo news for leaving his Carerra GT unloved for a very long time in a high rise garage. https://ca.autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/-440-000-porsche-carrera-gt-sits-neglected-in-a-canadian-parking-garage-184903039.html You can tell it is Calgary by the Lincoln Mark LT parked next to it.

That is cool as hell.  I've got a new 2015 Tacoma coming in the next couple months (company truck) that has these 120V plugs next to the foglight. As a northerner, I find that cool in general but since I have a garage it'll be put inside any night colder than -15C because I'm a suck.

If it's not prime eligible, it's probably coming from China/Hong Kong. So if you want to make sure it's quick, see if it's sold or fullfilled by Amazon. That said, seems to me mine only took about 2 weeks. Hell, I ordered a soft case for my drone last month from Hong Kong on Amazon and I get the thing, I poo poo you not, 4 days later. Blew me away.

I mean, we have an honest to god Creation Museum down here. The ironic part is that Lethbridge itself is a diverse & vibrant city (well, as much as a 100K city can be) in several ways compared to much of Alberta. We have a great University with students from all over the world and a college with students from all over Canada & US. I think it's largely due to the negligible oil/gas industry base which seems to breed redneck behavior. But Mormons and hardcore Catholics are everywhere.

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?

A friend of mine used to have one and it was a decent 4x4. Not as nice of a vehicle as a 4-Runner but it still had a decent chassis. I seem to recall they suffered from cancer pretty badly... as in even worse than you'd think. Maybe a 90s outback? A little higher clearance than the legacy so as long as you aren't needing low range they're not that bad. Comedy option: That Iltis I linked to in Craigs Gold.

The beautiful thing about the far south is there are so many old people not that part you regularly see 80s and 90s cars with next to nothing milege come up for sale as part of estate or can no longer drive sales. Granted, chances are extremely slim that you're going to get a minty BMW for $4K, but chances are really good that you'll find a drat nice completely loaded low mileage grandpa car for $3-5K if you keep your eyes open.

Harleys, RVs and diesels should be plentiful. I've already anecdotally heard a story already about a couple east coasters who have just up and left everything and their rental in fort mac. Seems they packed their clothes and jumped on a bus. Back when I lived in GP the Honda dealer told me a story about some rig pig who came in and wanted to buy a couple of brand new matching ATVs for him and his girlfriend. Dealer said absolutely and proceeded to start the financing paperwork but it was quickly apparent there was no way in gently caress the guy could afford conventional financing. Completely financed out the rear end and had pretty much nothing for a down payment. Of course the customer took this as a massive insult, lost it and started to  , fat girlfriend starting beaking off and made a big scene and tore out of the parking lot.Next day he squeeled up with the big diesel and stormed into the showroom and told the salesguy he had IMPECCABLE credit and got a loan no problem with one of those loanshark outfits (like Avco or Transcanada) so he bought a couple of ATVs at Polaris and HE JUST LOST A SALE MISTER. Of course the Honda dealer could have done that too but the guy was so far in hock he didn't even want to go down the road of a predatory loan. That was in about 2007. Pretty sure the guy would have had everything in his possession was repoed within about 6 months after that. 1500quidporsche posted:If I remember correctly 2008 produced some hilarity from people who were used to just leasing trying to buy sub-$5k cars.

These things have so much under hood room and came from the factory with such a mix-mash of engine options, I suspect you could literally put any GM based motor in there without a ton of difficulty. The trunk was utterly massive too. I remember playing hide and seek as a kid and a few of us hid in there at the same time.
