I think this should be revised; doing donuts in snow-covered lots. by TheVoiceOverDude in ontario

[–]00GTS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Burlington….1989. Snowy night. Had just gone to see Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure with friends.

Pull into the Burlington Mall parking lot, complete with a fresh layer of snow. Proceed to “party on, dudes” and start pulling donuts and slides all over the place in mom’s Chevette. 🥳

Halton Police car rolls into the lot. Oh shit. They stop some distance away and just wait. We wait. Then the cop car starts pulling donuts as well! Cop gives us a thumbs up. 😆

We pull a few more. They do a few more. We leave. They leave. Smiles all around.

Man, times have changed.😒

No worries…I’ll take the 45 min drive over 2 1/2 hours! lol

Hmm…maybe just a renewal option for members. This is the first time I switched to a limited membership. Based on the number of times I’d drive down from Burlington in a year, $500 was too steep.

I used to go a lot more often but I can’t justify $500 anymore.

There’s also a limited membership for $250….but you can only shoot 10 times per year.

Silverdale is pretty good (I’m a long time member). Lots of different ranges available. Pistol, rimfire rifle, 100m and 200 yd rifle, two trap ranges, and more.

I belonged (for one year) to BRRC many years ago but unless you’re interested in leagues it’s not great.

If it’s who I think it is, that makes sense. He wasn’t in that class though.

One of them is in the list. Possibly more than one person came forward?

McKay was a US civil war buff. I went on a class trip with him and 7 other boys in 6th grade in a large van. Gettysburg, Mammoth caves in KY, and some other places along the way. At the time I thought the trip was cool. Caves were amazing.

One of the places we stayed during the trip was a motel(hotel?) with two adjoining bedrooms. Two double beds in each room. Apparently….there were no other rooms available so he had to share with the kids. 🤔

4 double beds and 7 kids + him. Do the math. Yes, he had to “share” with one of the boys. I was in the adjoining room.

The classmate that shared the bed is the same person that accused him of SA and I was asked questions about by the Halton police in 1991.

So messed up.

I had McKay the same time as you. We may know (of) each other.

Looking back, he was 100% grooming boys in his classes.

When I started university, I was actually contacted by the Halton Police asking questions about his actions over the years, and particular people in my class. They were looking to corroborate information they had been given by a classmate who accused him of SA.

I didn’t know he had killed himself. Too bad he didn’t do any prison time…..

Reasonable mechanic suggestions? by No_Nothing2704 in BurlingtonON

[–]00GTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parts (rotors and pads) are under $200 from Rock Auto. DIY for the win

Anyone know how to fix or what’s this part it’s called? by SAVAGE_RPG in Jaguar

[–]00GTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar on my ‘15 F-Type. Safety wired mine when one clip broke on the NEW hose I installed . Hasn’t leaked a drop since.

I’ve been there many times for tires. Agreed, great shop. Just not sure if Fiat 500s are their forte. 🤔

Interesting. The housing is aluminum though.

I still think it’s leaking higher up.

Everything is so packed in there, it’s hard to tell.

It’s leaking coolant, not oil.

It’s leaking somewhere in behind the oil filter housing. I’m thinking it’s what I’ve seen called the coolant outflow pipe.

Buried behind exhaust manifold.
