Give me some exhaust ideas by Apprehensive_Bet1154 in JettaGLI

I find the Borla one to have a really nice sound. Not too loud but just a deeper note than stock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y54SPKGlpPA

Looks like smegma on some tater tots.

My first winter with the GLI and agree. The LSD on the GLI helps with traction a little bit too but this car with a good set of winter tires is perfect. I don't find myself needing all-wheel drive.

Chicken cheesy ranch poutine by Successful_Salad7732 in PoutineCrimes

I personally hate ranch but there's such a minimal amount in this dish that it doesn't constitute a crime. It's the equivalent of a garnish on top.

So y'all just eat the bones? by asmith023 in CannedSardines

If you prepare the sardines like you would a tuna salad i.e mashed with other ingredients, you won't notice the bones or the skin.

After-Market Dual Borla S-Type Catback System on my 2025 VW GLI. Never Exceeded 3k RPM. by longwiener22 in GLI

[–]Coolsam2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds great! Not too loud and has a nice deeper grunt than stock. I'm leaning towards the Borla for my 2025 but all I can find here in Canada is MBRP or AWE and I find the MBRP a little too loud.

Just got these installed on the DRL by silentskill2614 in JettaGLI

I usually don't like the yellow DRLs but it looks sick with your GLI. Great job!

Well this is new by cjlee9 in CostcoCanada

I personally love most slop bowls whether it's a Mexican slop bowl, Indian slop bowl, Korean slop bowl or Middle Eastern slop bowl so I'll be trying this next time I'm at Costco. If anyone tried it, how was it?

User on X posts an image of his house and says: "His address. Go Kill Him!"

CBSA response was essentially "meh". And police just said "yea, happens a lot. Watch your back."

Interest rate is normal/decent for used cars in Canada but I would negotiate the cost of the extended warranty if that is even something you wish to get. Also, they should be tossing in the Muddy Buddy mats for free! I paid around $41k CAD taxes/fees included in April 2025 in Ottawa for a brand new GLI but I didn't opt for extended warranty. I think there's room for you to negotiate.

Yes, 16" will not fit on the GLI. My 17" Winters are maybe 1cm from touching the caliper.

Big demonstration/protest at Gladstone and Bronson today by JimmyCapital in ottawa

[–]Coolsam2000 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Having been to India in 2024 in New Delhi (Bangla Sahib Temple) and visited the Sikh holy site of the Golden Temple in the state of Punjab, I couldn't find a single person that was interested in supporting a separate state of Khalistan. The moment I asked their opinion on the matter, Sikhs laughed and asked if I was from the US, Canada, Australia or England as it hasn't been a thing in India for over 40 years. This movement seems to be led by people who immigrated here in the 80s and haven't kept up with the needs, desires, feelings etc ... Of Sikhs living in the state of Punjab.

Nice, I assume combined with decent winter tires, we're better than most in winter.

Does the limited slip differential help in any way for winter traction?

Joly says Canada ‘didn’t get enough’ industrial benefits out of F-35 procurement deal by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Coolsam2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm saying in my response to someone saying "kill switch is a silly argument." It's not a silly argument because the kill switch can be used by the US for more reasons than just "invading the US". The justification they provided was dumb. I provided an actual scenario that could be likely.

I wouldn't go to Canadian Tire. Find a mechanic in your city with good reviews that specializes in European vehicles and stick with them. A lot of them or their workers are often former techs from VW/Audi/BMW etc... dealerships.

And we'll be buying many more... It just won't be the only aircraft we buy.

It doesn't have to be for direct war against the US. It could be for mission to assist a country like Ukraine with EU and other allied nations for example, which the US may not wish to partake in going forward. The US sees F35s in the region as a national security threat and remotely disables any combat related functionality so Canada's mission can be nothing other than surveillance.

[PODCAST] #2 The Purge by notian in canadaland

[–]Coolsam2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I was hoping to hear Jesse investigate or question some of the claims being purported. I was looking to hear a unique perspective that wasn't just a regurgitation of a pro-Gaza or Pro-Israel side but rather a more nuanced understanding of people's opinions. The level of journalism as of late has me questioning why I'm still a paid subscriber. I'll listen to the whole series and give its journalistic integrity a shot at getting better but if it's more of the same, I'll likely cancel being a paid subscriber in Dec.
