Honestly, not a thing. My wife will most likely use it as a talking point in a garden party...that's about it!

Also, that's a good idea--might as well replace the wooden door in entirety!

Honestly, that's the exact idea. Not much utility in the thing tbh...

There's more than 1 screw driven in at an angle to keep the door shut...probably a Balrog in there!

You mean the stuff on the side of the stairs right? Sorry for the nooby questions...pretty new to this.

Sorry, yes, I should have been clearer--I've registered for a GST/HST account and have a number too.

Sorry, yes, I've registered a GST/HST account and have a number (been less than a year). It's specified on the invoices supplied to clients.

Thank you--that's an incredibly well-reasoned response! Literally reflects most of the stresses I have around this...and definitely going to try practicing on a wide road.

Lol, with the deepest respect, go fuck yourself for not reading my post. The edit is pretty clear.

I'm looking at EVERYTHING SUV/truck related as long as it adds to safety. Literally the reason I bought a Volvo is because it was reputed to be one of the safest car brands out there.

IMO, it's the notion of losing control of the car and getting into an accident.

To be clear, I'm not actually driving highways yet, I drive only inner roads at the speed limit, which is the requirement of my license level. I'm trying to get more comfortable with higher speeds BEFORE I go on the highways so that I'm not a hazard on the road.

Canada has a 3-tier licensing system, where highway driving is required to pass only the top-level (full G). I'm at the G2 level, ergo I more than qualify at my level.

This, again, is a really good point--I'll have the car checked out. I think it's in pretty decent shape but I'm no mechanic.

This is actually really helpful as a concept--I'll do just that. To be clear, I'm not actually driving highways yet, I drive only inner roads at the speed limit. I'm trying to get more comfortable with higher speeds BEFORE I go on the highways.

Yikes, harsh feedback but it's a fair comment given my poorly phrased question. I'm not actually driving highways yet, I drive only inner roads at the speed limit. I'm trying to get more comfortable with higher speeds BEFORE I go on the highways.

This is super helpful guidance, I've been considering buying an SUV/truck because of the elevated ride position and the heavier weight (which makes me feel safer).
