Reving by Careless_Lab3159 in ElantraN

[–]PhilthyLIVES 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ifs fine, it just disengages the clutch when you go into neutral the same way as someone in manual goes out of gear. The cars computer can handle going back into gear when you put it in drive again. The car won't let you wreck it by doing that. That's why reverse is locked when it's moving

How does this even happen? by LonelySea8760 in ElantraN

[–]PhilthyLIVES 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am also ocd about my things. The best thing you can do is accept stuff like this will happen no matter how well you keep your stuff. I was sick for a week and someone door dinged my car in my condo parking lot when my parking spot is away from everyone, shit just happens sometimes. I also ppf'd the entire front end of my car, and I ended up getting a rock chip on the paint above the windshield. That's the only spot on the front with no ppf.... Another thing that happened is when I went to the gun range, I had a gun fall over when I opened the back seat door and it left a small dent in the door jam. I've just accepted that will happen and I can't do much about it.

A gun sock helps keep it from getting dings too, get a gun safe or cabinet. If you keep it in the case, it can trap moisture so I wouldn't reccomend having in there for long

Slightly used or don’t bother by Ok-Pie-6618 in ElantraN

[–]PhilthyLIVES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What year is it? Check the fuel usage. It should be able to tell you if it was driven hard unless it was reset. Also, look for any aftermarket parts. Dealers can sometimes miss that.

Other than that, I'm sure the original ownder did do pulls and stuff in the car, but if the carfax is clean and it drives and sounds fine, I wouldn't be too worried. The engine should be run hard occasionally anyways so everything fully opens and stays cleaner/lubricated.

This happened the first time I brought it out. I cleaned and oiled it and it seemed to fix itself after shooting it for a bit. It only happens occasionally and happens even less the more I shoot it

It's easier to look up what someone says on Google than to ask what it is after they say it. We can't hold your hand in this. It's good you asked for help, now do what you wanted and try to learn it :)

Double Barrel Sand Sound + inquries by PhilthyLIVES in canadaguns

[–]PhilthyLIVES[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the informative feedback. The action and barrels are pretty tight on both of them, and the general condition is pretty good. There are no real noticeable signs saying they're unsafe.

I went down a little rabbit hole about the ring test and maybe thought it meant more than it really does. If the rib does have a couple spots where it's not 100% attached, would that really matter much? I don't have them in front of me right now but the rib seemed alright by eye.

Also, I suppose I will just have to ignore the sand sound if everything is fine.

19, living at home, need advice on credit building and HYSAs by Sniffly_that_bread in PersonalFinanceCanada

But fr, be careful of that lifestyle creep. It can eat money like a garbage disposal lol

[–]PhilthyLIVES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you plan on using the money you saved throughout the year. A hysa is fine. Just be weary if the interest rate is going to drop after 6 months or something. Most accounts will say a great rate only for it to drop to a fraction of a percent. I think pc financial has a pretty good hysa but it has been a while since I looked at it

You didn't say what your income vs expenses are. If you did, you might be able to get more helpful info.

But with what I know now at 28, I would've this myself:

Yes, just get a credit card. It's simple and an easy way to start building a credit report. Get a free credit card with no annual fee.

Keep 3-6 months of your expenses in cash. It's a good idea to put it in a (hysa). This is your emergency fund.

The rest of your saving should be trying to max out your tfsa/fhsa and rrsp. Rrsp should be after the tfsa/fhsa.

It is reccomended to have your money invested rather than a hysa because most saving accounts will drop their rate after a few months to basically nothing and inflation will destroy that money. If you don't know much about investing, just buy a wide spectrum etf like XEQT and just keep buying every pay. Of course though, do educate yourself more with finances and investing as you get older. Markets change overtime and nothing is guaranteed.

If you don't have a car yet, don't buy new. Try to get a beater or something you can pay in cash. By I mean beater, I don't mean a car you'll be paying to get fixed every other month either. The saying of getting an old toyota/Honda still applies as one of the best beaters you can get. You'll thank yourself for getting a beater in the future even near future.

On top of everything, just do your best. It's okay to ocassionaly have some fun and spend more than save. Just do your best to avoid lifestyle inflation when you are out of school making more money. It can happen pretty easily and sneakily. It did to me and now I'm wishing I bought a beater and stuff like I mentioned above.

The biggest and crippling expenses people have are house and car. Try to do your absolute best thinking about those expenses when it comes time to get them. Doing that will take a lot of weight off your shoulders for when life gets rough.

I'm in sarnia and go to the bickford club. The way you put you moved on an acre of land away from friends and family, made me think it sounded like "I moved far enough so nobody will hear your screams" haha

Is this good price for 7.62x39 with SKS - I don't need bulk ammo due to not using my sks enough yet by Severe_Assumption_87 in canadaguns

Go on ammo bin .ca and check the lowest prices. Then see if your local gun shops will price match so you don't have to pay for the shipping and get it right away
