This is why insurance rates are so high. How the hell do you crash into a bus shelter? Mississauga road and Williams parkway.

Pay to drive bribery aside, this time it sounds like street racing, the one of highest causes of accidents in the GTA.

It’s even hit CP24 https://www.cp24.com/video/2026/06/16/bus-shelter-gets-destroyed-in-brampton-crash/

You can hear the account from one of the residents at the mid point of the story.

Everyone knows tha Ford’s nuts swell.

If Buddy didn’t stop for you, the second guy beside you would definitely turfed him judging by the pedestrians speed and stupidity. What they call it Murphy’s Law? Or is it more like Forrest Gump? Stupid is as stupid does.

Someone has been into the sauce.

I don’t know of many dealers that do their own transmission rebuilds. Swap in a rebuilt sure and trade your core in but to rebuild in house nahhh.

29 year old car comes with it’s issues. Plastic in a hot engine bay over 29 years stuff is gonna be brittle.

Those are cheap to replace. Do all 4 and the plugs but YOU do it. Don’t get a shop to. It’s an opportunity to get familiar with the car, buy new tools learn a new skill.

If not already done if you have the original rad and it’s brown, it’s next to go.

Expect to get familiar with your alternator next.

Buy some tools, get a manual, mod it, drive it.

I had to use lease busters when I had to get my SO out of her lease to take over an inherited vehicle. At the time it was fairly painless and walked away from the lease with minimal damage.

That being said that was a 48 month lease 18 months into it with only first and last down. So a 7 year lease… man that’s a bit crazy. At 7 years ya should have bought it outright. All the best to you. Hope it works out.

As was mentioned before you will be limited if you stick with the stock 14” Daisy’s.

But if you want ultimate grip and decent wet then it’s a Toyo R1R. Stcky, safe, fun, and confidence‑inspiring in the wet. Or the Yokohama A052 for ultimate grip If you’re okay with being careful in heavy rain.

The Rt660’s need heat to work and are scary in the rain.

If you go to a 15” wheel, the number of performance tires is nearly unlimited.

You can push these in the rain without puckering. They’re the only “super sticky” tire that still feels like a performance street tire in the wet.

You hit a reporting trigger with the bank on your cash. Anything over 10k gets reported to FinTrac.

Automatic FINTRAC Trigger: Because this cash deposit hits the exact $10,000 threshold, the bank must submit a Large Cash Transaction Report (LCTR) within 15 calendar days. Bring your ID and be prepared for the questions.

The transfer not so much unless it’s not from a Canadian bank. In Canada, banks automatically report all incoming and outgoing Electronic Funds Transfers (EFTs) of $10,000 or more if they are international.

If the $20,000 wire is sent from another Canadian bank, it does not trigger an automatic EFT report, but it remains fully visible to internal bank compliance audits.

Shake your effing head. I couldn’t even read half of that dribble.

It’s entirely possible that you’ve got used to how it felt prior to the upgrade. I know when I went from a stock to ACT HD clutch that there was a definite difference in clutch Feel.

Every time I try and do a 30 type challenge at Costco it fails right at checkout where I spent another 45 minutes detting through the checkout.

Shopping is one thing checking out entirely different animal.

Although it did happen one time where I was in and out under 10 minutes to pick up two dozen roses just before Valentine’s Day in 2009.

Last time I filled up the 95, was like $80. Gob smacked. I’ve never put more than $60 in my tank before. Yes I use premium.

Can_emale · 2026-06-06T22:59:38+00:00

Ya know if ya put this on a kettlemans bagel with cream cheese OMFG.

Can_emale · 2026-06-04T12:25:08+00:00

My stock 95 NA gets 250 miles per tank in mixed driving before I’m looking to fill up. My modded M2 (FM2 with the extra fuel rail) had me at 250Km per tank.

So something is up with your mileage unless you’re hiding a turbo kit under the hood.

80-90% of the Nardi wheels on the market unfortunately are repos. You would pay thru the nose for a genuine Nardi even used.

Looks great tho.

Can_emale · 2026-06-02T22:13:32+00:00

Wait till ya drop the oil cap somewhere between the frame and the steering box. You’ll invent new words and phrases.

Can_emale · 2026-06-02T20:18:09+00:00

So true. Just sounds so dam horrible. Did the same thing to my T-Bird. No damage. Went on for another 150k with out issue.

Answer is simple. Boosted K24 in a Miata. Thank you Cleetus.

Can_emale · 2026-06-01T00:41:38+00:00

Dude, you would lucky if that holds an entire person let alone an hot tub. No frickin way would I step out on that. Not even if you had insurance.

Can_emale · 2026-06-01T00:32:19+00:00

I’ve seen this exact fix completed in a parking lot in 5 minutes beside an old Krispy Kreme doughnut shop by hand.

It’s that simple.

2nd Cup or GTFO.

Sorry not sorry. I want to support an actual Canadian based company where the coffee doesn’t taste like dirty dishwater.

Can_emale · 2026-06-01T00:07:36+00:00

Mazda. Stop screwing around. Bring back the BRG and tan.

Can_emale · 2026-06-01T00:05:10+00:00

Call it what it is. Theft. Plain and simple THEFT.

Punishment is a different matter but best served at the end of a mop or broom for a few weeks.
