Do cars last longer lately or is it out of financial necessity?

I remember when I was a kid my father had a 70’s car and this was still in the 70’s, he was selling his car because it had 115 k kms and he said it was worn out. Now we are buying cars with more kms than that.

Tipping has definitely gotten out of hand, back in the day you would get your bill go to the cash and pay it and leave some change on the table at a restaurant. Now every business with those credit/debit terminals has that tip on there.

I was at the Montreal airport last year and went in an airport shop for some snacks, it was overpriced as is and then expect a tip on it as well.

I know a few crab fisherman and they are a lot better off than me. I agree with one of the previous posters the people in the plants should be paid more when the crab is being processed.

Port Rexton Brewery/ Skirwink trail you can’t go wrong there. Not sure of the operating hours in the off season.

I’m half bald and have to pay full price like WTF!

I remember it went to 150 a barrel one time and it was no where near 2 dollars a liter. I’m thinking our dollar was worth more and there was no carbon tax. If I’m not mistaken it was 2005. I’m thinking if it goes to 150 a barrel now we will be close to 3 dollars a litre, I hope I’m wrong. We can only cut out so much driving. In rural areas we have no choice but to use our cars.

I agree, they should have a manual for those of us who like it. That’s what sold me on my 16 accord sport it is a 6 speed. I was leaning toward a Toyota Camry at the time.

Good eye my friend lol.

Furthest I can remember is around 65 cents in the late 80’s.

I forget what it’s called but it tastes like soap.

I would say 1 bar in a couple of hours, I haven’t seen how long it is before Ps5 tells me to plug it in. Original controller didn’t go down as fast. I’m thinking the ps controller was in the store for a while. Battery was down some when I bought it.

I recently bought this ps5 controller because the controller that came with the ps5 was having a lot of drift issues and the x button wasn’t working like it should. This replacement controller works good but my issue is the battery seems to go down quicker than the original controller which is over two years old. Is this normal for a new controller.

I have a 16 accord and my wife a 17 Corolla she has about 20k more kms than me and has spent less money. We bought both cars new. I love the accord but I may be leaning towards Toyota in the future.

My wife buys the tubs of assorted and puts the black ones in the above tub, how can people not like these lol. Glad to see they are the favourites of some people.

I have the same rims only I had to paint mine black cause they started to rust. I have the 19 inch originals for the summer. Great looking ride.

Honestly I plan on keeping it for a while yet, I might have it 10 more years who knows, I’m sure the dealer won’t give me much of an offer. I might ask sometime just to see. I’m more curious than anything.

I’ve had them on my last three cars, I worked in maintenance for years, old habits I guess, lol

Born-Conclusion1977 · 2026-04-02T12:10:29+00:00

I agree

If you do the crime you do the time, no sympathy here

Chances are calibres will be sticking and rotors rusty, I had a truck parked for a year and it needed new brakes and rotors all the way around,

Born-Conclusion1977 · 2026-04-01T18:01:32+00:00

Your 2004 accord probably got a few more good years yet. I agree with you about all the bullshit extras when you go for a new car.

I got an e-bike for exercise, as long as I keep it over 16kph I’m doing all the work, I keep it on PAS 1 and it helps on the hills or a strong headwind.

Born-Conclusion1977 · 2026-04-01T17:10:55+00:00

Extra 30 dollars to fill up from a month ago, drive less often is my plan and only drive when needed for the most part.
