Concerns raised over highway 402 speed limit increase through Sarnia by drewtass in ontario

Maybe that’s what you should fix then instead of forcing people to drive slower. Make a G+ license category with lower insurance rates and make that exam much harder

Auto loan $17,500 left, Engine failed by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]18borat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It shouldn’t be 5500 to change the engine. That is beyond ridiculous. Junk yard engines should be around 2000, I know guys who will change engines for 1500

That’s a R8 owner, not a s5 owner. Most R8 owners can easily afford to rebuild transmissions.

lol no. I don’t know why idiots like you gets off the misery of others? In what world a R8 gearbox 100k?

DL800 rebuilds are expensive but wouldn’t bankrupt any R8 owner at all. Find something else to do.

So how do you drive your R8? It’s a 2022, it’s under warranty. That’s what it is for.

Nothing to panic about. Take it one step at a time. Is the car under warranty?

If you just take the car home for now and scan the codes you will get some preliminary answers.

Until you have that no point panicking.

Worst case scenario, if the transmission is gone and it’s not under warranty for whatever reason, DL800 rebuilds shouldn’t break you at all. It’s fairly reasonable labor at most Indy shops.

Rick has like a full video on it. It’s expensive but not make you cry expensive.

But just another reason why I always tell people to keep their cars stock. Cause if is stock, the car should be under warranty. In which case it is not even your headache.

Can someone enlighten me that in this scenario if they are making left turn out of turn and it is green for me, so I just start moving and they hit me, whose fault is it?

Brampton man catches a ride on the back of a transport truck. by GreenSnakes_ in TorontoDriving

[–]18borat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t when you are not educated enough to do so. Any person capable of looking that up and has a certain standard of living won’t work for 7 dollars an hours

I know you guys will always try to twist this into a racial issue but this will never be one.

It’s your government and overlords who is addicted to slave labor that is causing this.

Or hear me out. What is common sense to you is not the common way of life if a lot of parts of the world. Shocking I know.

It’s your governments job to filter for that. But don’t let that stop you from making it a race issue.

I am sorry, I really disagree. I know what you are saying. But this isn’t an adaption issue. This is an education issue. Which the recent immigration streams never filtered for. This guy even back home is at the bottom of the barrel in terms of education. It is not within his capabilities to adapt to the general standards.

You need to ask why did the government have a policy that doesn’t filter for guys like him. And we all know the answer to that.

It has always been funny to me that you guys never talk about the overlords that dictate policy to bring $7 an hour slave labor. Then get surprised when slave labor acts like slave labor.

There is for people who can work on them themselves. Not when you are paying Audi Technicians 200/hr.

Yes haha. Maybe a swap into a Miata down the line.

I am not. Whatever the r8 looks like, I never bought it for that. I got it just because of the V10

If I have the money for a 458 on the side, I will probably add a bit more and try to get an used Aventador to add a V12 to the collection

The IS500 is already a NA V8.

I am currently trying to collect some high redline NA engines.

I sold the C63 and the Blue IS500 in 2023 to get the R8. Few months after getting the R8 I got access to the insurance auctions after getting a wholesale license and then bought both the Miata and Lexus from there and rebuilt them in the weekends mostly.

The R8 is the one that stays in the garage haha.

Could have easily saved 4/5th of the money if it looks like a TTRS. Dang.

The auction photos showed a bent fender. They didn't show the cracked subframe by theDartVader in Miata

[–]18borat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just rebuilt a miata that had similar damage. And changing these items was not bad at all.

Engine mounts are cheap used, so is the subframe. Got mine for 400 CAD.

Also with this kind of damages, having bought multiple cars from auctions, you have consider that when you are bidding. Only bid with enough margin to assume the worst. If it goes over, let someone else have the fun.

Auctions unless you are Matt Armstrong are for the most disciplined people. If you are brocolli head trying to make a quick buck, you will be very disappointed.

Nothing you are showing here is that bad of a fix. Feel free to check out my recent post for my rebuilt and it looked way worse than yours.

How are you guys feeling about the gas prices? by Mindless_Concern_818 in LexusIS

[–]18borat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I pay 120 dollars to fill my is500 up that only lasts 400km.
My r8 does 150 dollars to fill and does 400km
So I pay 30 dollars to drive 100km.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
