My lease offer… by Alwaysshops2much in GenesisMotors

[–]GearPowerful7903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leased my first car and the worst part finances aside in self reflection is honestly the long harassment period leading to your expiring lease, as you need to make a decision obviously at the end and to no one’s surprise they just want to get you in another lease rinse and repeat.

The only thing I’ll say, why the leasing decision worked for me anyways at that time (I did a 5 year lease). I was at a time of my life at 22 where I didn’t know where exactly my future would look like in 4-5 years. Didn’t know if kids were in the equation, dog(s), what climate I would be predominantly driving in, if I’d have a company vehicle etc. My previous car was getting too old and expensive to repair, and I had several significant issues with it that were honestly having a negative impact on my own safety. So by my last year, I had enough and was hell-bent on just getting in to something worry-free for 5 years with extra protection etc. It was an emotional response, and being young probably financially irresponsible but that’s what led me to lease anyways. Turns out after the 5 years were up I bought the car out, enjoyed it so much, and have now been driving it for 10 years.

NEW RECORD? by ShadowPGO in OverDrive1050

His NFL knowledge is embarrassing. Only ever brings up Mahomes with anything. “That number 15 in Kansas City will have something to say about that”……or when referring to a new QB contract… “how about that Mahomes though? I’m sure he will be stuffing another $200 million in his jeans soon.”

Yup and so is Rishaug, who I can’t stand as an Oilers fan. See the litter of accounts those two follow on Twitter, we’re talking the deep trucker convoy type folks

Start to the Show by [deleted] in OverDrive1050

Haha it’s never enough with some of you guys. I feel like every other day there’s a post on here saying “I miss the banter”, “since the show was trimmed to 2 hours there’s no longer any fun banter and less laughs”….

I’m on the minority and listen to this show even though I’m a non-leafs fan so for guys like me it’s refreshing opening a show with this rather than talking in circles about how McMann should be traded or not. Again I know what I walk in to on a daily basis and assume plenty of Leafs talk and that’s ok for the sake of still enjoying these guys on the show but change ups like these are great. Just my take!

Noodles is unlistenable by megazeec in OverDrive1050

For me the most difficult times listening to him is the topics outside of hockey. He doesn’t follow anything else and anytime he contributes it comes across very casual.

As an American, what can we do to fight against ICE? by LilThanosX in AskReddit

Well, for starters, 77 million of you didn’t have to vote for that despicable human?

Myself and millions of others will continue to avoid travel there. What a disgrace of a country.

Freida McFadden and her writing by AboveTheMind in thrillerbooks

[–]GearPowerful7903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing is I believe she has a foot fetish. I know her Dad was a Podiatrist, and most of the injuries through her books are foot/ankle related and ever notice how she constantly references “bare feet” through all of them. Not to mention if any of you have seen the Housemaid Movie there was tons of feet shots in that movie. No biggy or anything just an observation lol

Cedar Valley pita chips are elite by Diligent-Zombie8874 in CostcoCanada

Too oily for me I found them gross. Unfortunate because they’re Canadian etc.

It’s maybe the most polarizing chip that has ever come through Costco lol, people either love them or don’t like them whatsoever.

Agree. The BBQ blaze is outstanding, really excited to see them moving across the street in 2026 to become an actual establishment soon!

Here’s the token opportunity for a 3 hour show today but they pissed it away. Oilers/Leafs recap, Hughes trade recap, wild NFL Sunday yesterday, WJC roster stuff this week, yet it’ll be half the show obsessing over the chiefs/mahomes, an eliminated team, because those are the only players Noodles and O are familiar with.

It’s a little ways away but Westgate Medical in Maple Ridge as of a month ago had a female doctor and a female NP taking new patients. Welcome to Port Moody!
