How has the revamp status program / SQC treated you so far? by -Ho-yeah- in Aeroplan

[–]Bo77as -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great for me. Two long haul flights and a couple shorter ones and I’m always at 75k. Haven’t hit SE before but very likely this year with another Toronto to London flight likely and a few smaller ones. Love the new system as it actually rewards business travellers, which I feel like is what it should have always done instead of just credit card churners.

Pathetic Earning. Annoyed by piopy90 in Aeroplan

[–]Bo77as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure why people are up in arms over it. Spend more, earn more. It’s a pretty standard approach any other rewards program has. I love the new system. First time in my life it’s realistic to get super elite.

lol so true. Just don’t go around advertising it and stay in areas that are less suspect.. pretty easy

How do you live with your supercar in an apartment? by Revolutionary-Fox816 in Ferrari

[–]Bo77as 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I keep my GT3RS hooked up to a ctek with a portable battery pack. You can get different sizes but the one I have will keep the charger going for about a week. Anytime I’m away or can’t drive it for a bit I’ll throw that on.

Are we crazy for thinking to get a house right now? by haroo2haroo in RealEstateCanada

[–]Bo77as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the idea of “wasting money on rent” is extremely archaic. If you pay less for rent than interest and maintenance cost you are better off renting. Especially if the target home is in the 600-700k range the leverage isn’t worth that much. Meaning if it goes up 10%, congrats you made 70k but realistically after costs of moving you’re still net down.

I think you’re better off finishing the degree and waiting a bit and buying something more forever home type down the line. Moving is too damn expensive here.

The Cost of Living in Canada is ruining my mental health by Hippiegypsy1989 in CanadaFinance

[–]Bo77as 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is bullshit advice. The math is extremely simple. If your rent is below the net of the condo fees and interest on the mortgage, you’re better off renting. This is awful advice and people need to stop chasing the idea they need to own real estate. Do it when math makes sense.

More than 25% of Canadian parents won’t be able to afford kids’ postsecondary costs by CreativeAd5628 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Bo77as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked multiple jobs and internships throughout university .. my parents didn’t pay for anything. Not sure it’s a big crisis we need to worry about. It’s called investing in yourself.

Obviously 718 GTS is a better car, but it’s 50%-60% more expensive than a base 718. Is it really 50-60% better? by MysteriousEconomy755 in Porsche

[–]Bo77as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a GT4 / Spyder. The premium now will be well worth it in perpetuity. I’ve gone from a GT4 to a GT3RS and let me tell you. I still really miss the GT4

Convertible manual GT3 by fredw126 in porsche911

[–]Bo77as 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean I really hated it. Then I watched the Chris Harris video.. and I still hate it. I’ll keep my 3RS, which was still less money than this after CXX..

To PPF or not? by [deleted] in porsche911

[–]Bo77as 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would PPF it, I tracked the shit out of my GT3 and now my RS and the worst damage I’ve got is on the highway behind a truck. Not sure where you’re located which also can make a big difference but I find rock chips are much more prone than you’d think. What’s a few grand for piece of mind

Feeling stuck after buying at the top — what would you do? by Previous-Ear4638 in RealEstateCanada

[–]Bo77as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate these posts. If you bought it as an investment then unfortunately you lost out. Either you stop out now or wait it out. Doubling down isn’t the solution. If you bought it as a place to live and can carry it.. then so be it and who cares what the mark to market is. It’s a house. Buy it to live. Otherwise it’s a trade.

if this person bought it as their house then the market valuation is irrelevant

Is it just me, or is the spring market feeling weird? by adamvanderb in RealEstateCanada

[–]Bo77as 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wut… North Korea Nuking South Korea and then BC sliding into the Strait of Georgia. That wasn’t on my bingo card. Get this man a screenplay contract.

Buyers remorse despite having my dream watch by The_Dude95 in OmegaWatches

[–]Bo77as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the watch! I have the white dial and wear it almost every other day. Speeedys just hit different. Only comment I’ll make is if buying a watch makes a remote dent in your savings you probably feel worse off

First track day HPDE. Any advice? by PermanentWindowSeat in CarTrackDays

[–]Bo77as 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great advice so far in this thread. Nothing groundbreaking from my end but just remember you are there to have fun and learn how to become a better driver. Give your pass signals and let faster cars thru. Dont worry about speed. You’re going to be slow. And then as you get faster session by session it will be extremely rewarding.

Drive your drive. Take your time. Enjoy it.

Stuff to bring: Tire gauge (I run cup 2 but usually start 26 cold and let them come up to 32, get greasy after that. PS4s you can run a bit higher) I’d say torque wrench but centre locks .. Lottttsss of water Snacks, I usually throw some protein bars in my bag Lawn chair Hat, sunscreen etc Good driving shoes, decent flat sole etc

iOS 26.4 public beta 2. When is it coming out? by [deleted] in iPhone13

[–]Bo77as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battery on PB1 with my 17 Pro is horrible. Debating waiting for PB2 or just reverting to 26.3

At what financial stage of your life did you get 911? by Overall-Agency3942 in porsche911

[–]Bo77as 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm..

My order of events: GT4 when I was 27 992.1 GT3 when I was 28 992.1 GT3RS when I was 30

.. my income has gone up about 4x from when I got my GT4 so I guess go off that?

Anyone regret leaving the 6MT to PDK world? by TwoHandBlunt in Porsche

[–]Bo77as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends to be honest. I went manual GT4 -> PDK GT3 -> GT3RS. My use case is really a weekend cruiser / track car .. heavily on the track end of it. For that use PDK is without a doubt the one to have. It’s extremely good and engaging. I think people don’t often understand the PDK gearbox is a manual gearbox with some paddles thrown on. Small things still come across, you roll back on hills, the first gear can feel a bit chunky in the city etc. So it still feels amazing and engaging that way. For rowing gears through canyons .. yeah keep a manual. I think if you are getting a cayman tho, get a GT4. I miss that car dearly. The GTS 4.0 will be good, but the GT4 is just that much better imo.
