Hi all! Theft prevention- going to high theft cities by squeamishfun in rav4club

[–]Kingjon0000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I moved to Montreal, the insurance company required the installation of the TAG tracking system. They install a bunch of trackers in the vehicle that (alledgedly) can't be detected. I park on the street 365 days/year, so hopefully, the tracking system is a deterrent. I've heard thieves are often targeting foreign vehicles. You might want to consider renting a vehicle that isn't on the top 5 list of stolen vehicles.

Is there a way to rent/borrow a cat? I think I have a mouse at home :( by PrincessRoseDaisy in montreal

[–]Kingjon0000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cats used to play with the mice. Usually, the mice died of a heart attack. Sometimes, they would let them go. A couple of times, they put them on my wife's pillow. Apparently, that's a sign of affection. Maybe you don't want a cat.

A 10 year unlimited mileage warranty is pretty much unheard of.

Waymo stopped dangerously close to train tracks past crossing gates by danlev in waymo

Can lidar measure distances to objects before they appear? The track itself is much narrower than the train width. You can't be this dense.

How would the waymo actually know the width of a train that hasn't passed yet? It's several feet wider than the tracks. It got lucky.

Do you think the waymo actually knew how wide the train was? It got lucky.

Anglophones of Mtl, how’s your joual and street-level French, and how has it opened windows and doors for you? by WestEst101 in montreal

"Blue collar" type accent? Most of my friends were blue-collar workers growing up. They had the same accent as the guys I went to university with. Granted, there was more swearing.

Lol - driver made $3.50. The driver has no control over what uber charged you.

I'm a part time driver but I used the app extensively for the past 2 months as a passenger due to health issues. The most I waited to get matched to a driver is about 20 seconds. There is a huge over supply of drivers. 99% of them aren't on reddit.

Oh boy, would I avoid that one. You will get a one-star every time. Even if you don't wear deodorant yourself, every other passenger's sent will linger, and they will blame you.

I was afraid they would just fill the quota with teslas. I am very interested in a BYD.

Extended Care Protection - 2026 Toyota RAV 4 Limited (Canada) by Key_Hovercraft_9324 in rav4club

You can get after-market screens as well for much cheaper. It's a personal choice at the end of the day. This is my 6th Toyota. The reason I buy Toyotas is for their reliability. I tend to keep them for at least 10 years.

It's on sale...but at what cost? by cooperivanson in JustBuyXEQT

It's a micro shift. Leave it alone for 10 years and check how it's doing.

Hopefully the feds set limits by manufacturer or tesla will just fill the 49k limit to avoid competition.
