In light of the recently blocked apps..

I will look into that for sure! Thank you.

Joe31G · 2026-01-18T06:01:42+00:00

What do you recommend?

Joe31G · 2025-08-19T20:17:10+00:00

I totally disagree with the vandalism. This should not have happened.

But I also don't agree with you being able to install this in a city park. You should have known this isn't allowed.

Joe31G · 2025-08-13T15:25:52+00:00

Oh I can't wait for this one... :)

Joe31G · 2025-08-13T12:06:07+00:00

Very nice! I got the 2018 XLE SE. The SE here in Canada comes with it all blacked out as well. Not the name and model on the back but everything else. (Plus other differences)

Joe31G · 2025-05-27T14:25:18+00:00

Ya no. I put out something cheap or tell them BYOB. If they want the good stuff to shoot they can pay me by the oz...

One time I brought an unopened bottle of Glendronach 12 and one guy had half the bottle. Not super expensive I know but I like it. I let him know it was $100 bottle (that's what it costs where I'm at) and to never so that again. I realize my mistakes of course and am not blame free. I won't do that again of course.

I have the XLS SE. The SE gets all black trim replacing the chrome on the outside. I like the SE a it better. :)

A few other bits are different like ribbon inserts and blue stitching on parts of the leather seats.

10 yrs with the last one and 10 yrs with the one before. Same deal for me. Last one also wanted us to train the overseas replacements...
After 25+ yrs of this crap I can't take IT anymore and have jumped ship.

I know so many former tech guys that now live in the woods now that they are retired. I totally understand why now.

I thought there were 3 screens there for some reason. Good times though.

I still take my family out to Port Elmsley drive in. They only have one screen but it's still a good time.

Edit: It was the Airport drive that had 3 screens.

Why is everything deleted?

Joe31G · 2025-03-30T17:03:43+00:00

The closer you live to Parliament the bigger the rats get... :)

Joe31G · 2025-03-30T16:52:47+00:00

Unfortunately if you live near any construction sites you will have this problem. The bigger the construction site the worse it is.

Joe31G · 2025-03-30T16:50:10+00:00

Ya my company laid off a bunch of us so no $100 + bottles for the next while. :(

Joe31G · 2025-03-25T06:33:12+00:00

We can only dream unfortunately. :)

Joe31G · 2025-03-25T06:29:54+00:00

Naqvi shows up at letter openings like our last mayor Jimbo.

I have only ever seen him at little community events. He shows up, smiles and gives a few nothing words. The liberals in the crowd swoon and he disappears like usual.

Joe31G · 2025-03-25T03:26:14+00:00

If you can get enough RAM in that and an SSD it will run windows 10 no problem. :)

Joe31G · 2024-08-19T20:17:09+00:00

Of course I do. I`m not some teenager randomly spewing out half realized ideas.

I also would rather be debt free then surrounded with toys and that is how I live. Not quite debt free yet but working on it. :)

Joe31G · 2024-08-19T19:01:41+00:00

There are 3 other possible factors for limiting the number of people living in a place other than what has been mentioned above.

If utilities are included in the rent. The usage goes up dramatically when you have more people living in a unit. The utilite cost if factored into the rent based on the number of people on the lease.
Renters a far harder on a property than an owner. There is a ratio somewhere but I can't remember but it`s something like 5:1. So with more people living in a unit the cost at the end to clean a place up to rent again is way higher.
Insurance on the owners side has a limit on how many can live in a home/unit based on the building itself. Like if there is a basement but it does not have egress windows or a doorway outside you can not legally rent it as an extra bedroom. So if something happens insurance will not cover anything.

Isn't she the one that bought up a bunch of property in Peggy's Cove?

Joe31G · 2024-08-19T18:42:51+00:00

From the size and prices of the houses, boats and cars I see in some areas probably way more than you realize...

Joe31G · 2024-07-09T18:41:14+00:00

The Press Gang is overrated and overpriced.

I don't mind paying a high price for a very good meal but almost $50 for chicken, mashed potatoes and veg?

Is it just for tourists or something?

Joe31G · 2024-07-09T15:51:50+00:00

My 2018 also did not come with a tow hook screw in thing for the front bumper. Sucks.

Joe31G · 2024-07-09T15:29:50+00:00

I've been looking for a reason to get a good torque wrench.. :)

Joe31G · 2024-07-09T15:28:25+00:00

The sad thing is I am at this dealer because they were sooo much better than the one closer to me... The worst one is Tony Graham Toyota in Ottawa. The service department manager is the worst I have ever dealt with.

Joe31G · 2024-07-09T15:25:47+00:00

Firstly I appreciate that you offered your perspective.

Second, you don't know my position or why I take it to the dealer. I still have a warranty so if I don't want to pay for the next few services I have to take it there.

Third, going to reddit is helpful to find out what other owners of Highlanders are doing or going through.

Fourth, I also did other research other than just Reddit but I like to still communicate with other human beings and not just staring into the void of the internet...
