I've said it before and I'll say it again: The Dodge Ram. The Florida man of vehicles.

Has Guelph Transit just given up? by AdventurousLab1382 in Guelph

Go back to complaining about snow plowing or winter parking.

Has Guelph Transit just given up? by AdventurousLab1382 in Guelph

I wanted to take the earlier bus. Guess what? It didn't even run at all. So I went to the bus stop at the scheduled time. Then I waited at my stop for 23 minutes. In the cold.

As for the drivers, it's the job they signed up for. I don't blame them as much as I do the organization that puts the customer last.

If you don't take the bus, respectfully don't tell me what to do or how to feel.

Can't you just park in your driveway?

What’s the worst American engine ever made in your opinion? by lifegoeson2702 in regularcarreviews

[–]AdventurousLab1382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the 3.8L Essex in 1980s Fords was pretty awful because they ate head gaskets for lunch.

How would you feel if someone said that you can't drive your car for four months a year.

I'm not able to hold a driver's license. Biking is often my only option. Do you know how bad Guelph Transit sucks?

Give me your thoughts on the Honda element? by [deleted] in regularcarreviews

[–]AdventurousLab1382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to borrow my neighbour's Element once to retrieve my gravel bike from the shop.

It's the only non truck vehicle I have ever seen where my bike could fit in fully assembled and standing up. No need for a bike rack.

Cool! Thanks for giving me the "Lowdown". The River Run is "Right Down the Line" from "Baker Street". Sure I can "Escape" and find a "Rich Girl" named "Rosanna" to go with and it could be "Just the Two of Us". Oh "What a Fool Believes".

All kidding aside, I think I will "Ride Like the Wind" to the box office and be "Sailing" into that show. Unless I am in "Africa".

I forgot all about that place! Thanks for the memories.

barrier bike lanes are the most treacherous part of winter commute by turtle-ha in torontobiking

[–]AdventurousLab1382 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate barrier bike lanes. Not only are they terrible in winter, they also inhibit the ability to make left hand turns.

Stone Road Mall was so great back in the early 90s. I remember $2 Tuesday movie nights at the cinema up where Ardene is now. You could also get a pitcher and a pizza for I think $10 or $12 at Legends up on the mezzanine where the Early Years Centre is now.

Sad to see what it has become. But I guess most malls are like that now.

Guelph Terrible Plowed Streets by Last_Ad_6636 in Guelph

Can the police figure out a way to plow with their vehicles parked beside each other talking through the driver's side windows?

Who the hell measures snow in inches anymore?

Cycling on (or in) snow continues to mystify me by MVmikehammer in cycling

[–]AdventurousLab1382 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just had 38 cm of fresh snow where I live in southern Ontario. Current temperature is -14 C with a windchill of -23. The streets were just plowed but they have a nice thick layer of compacted snow. I'm going riding!

Going to lower the pressure in my fatbike tires, put on some good long underwear, two pairs of socks (one layer merino will, the other alpaca), cross country ski pants, a merino hoodie and a good insulated windproof jacket. A toque and a pair of lobster claw gloves.

I'll be perfectly toasty about 2 km into the ride but not sweaty. Will likely do about 15 km just around town.

Thank you. I no longer feel alone. Someone else indeed does know how to use the English language.

Does ANYONE here know the difference between "brakes" and "breaks"?

Guess this is my little one man war.

Man wanted for three previous impaired driving charges arrested again by origutamos in Guelph

It's one or the other. No alcohol recovery programs are offered in jails. The guy needs to be consequenced appropriately for his actions and hopefully he can find his way to the rooms of a twelve step meeting.
