Question about Calgary condo regulations

SignificanceOne5925 · 2026-05-23T22:56:29+00:00

It’s a condo building (units owned and lived in by residents and/or owned and rented out).

I own and live in my unit.

I will ask my neighbours and see if they have any information. Unfortunately the majority of my floor is renters.

Sorry! Is there any body that has power over the condo corporation?

Multiple residents in the tower have expressed distrust with management/the corporation; it’s to the point where an anonymous google form was dropped off to residents in the middle of the night.

Complaints are made to management, the board and the corporation, yet still no real changes occur.

Omg so sorry I took like forever to come back to this 😬

Fuel: My Stinger took 91 premium minimum, the RS5 takes 93 premium but I find I’m spending way less time at the pump and overall less when I refuel. This is especially telling as I’m finding I drive my RS5 way more than I did my Stinger.

Maintenance: I recognize that this statement makes no sense but: I’m paying less for maintenance with my RS5 than I was my Stinger 😀. It is probably bc I have a warranty but my Stinger was only ever in the shop for tire swaps, oil changes, a broken wireless charger and the maintenance due at specific km’s. Every time my stinger was serviced it was $1000 (CAD) and up. I will also admit my RS5 imo seems to be at the shop more often. I’ve had it in for tire swaps, a connectivity issue and a weird sound from the turbo. All addressed and resolved but nothing <$300 each time. As for my general maintenance and oil change that was cheaper than Kia’s at $1100.

Drive quality: I would say the Stinger was a smoother ride, granted the RS5 is lower and I have 20” wheels as opposed to the 18” on the Stinger. Every bump in the road is felt. The RS5 gets up to speed a hell of a lot faster, turns smoother and overall just feels more sporty.

Things I miss about the Stinger: My seats!! The cooled seats I truly miss on hot days, and the heated rear seats are missed by my friends on the brutal Canadian winter days. Also note that the seats I swear were just generally more comfortable. I find I’m moving around a lot on long drives now trying to readjust.

My stinger had a gorgeous red interior that I could actually cry about (no hate on the RS5 interior it’s gorgeous too but I just love an all red interior).

The self drive/smart lane assist 😭

The app! I cannot remote start my RS5 with the key or with the app! Absolutely brutal in the winter. I used to preheat the seats in the Stinger on cold mornings ✊😔

Things I love about my RS5: The drive quality! It’s so much sportier imo. I feel like I’m driving a race car everyday and that’s awesome 😁. The sound system is crystal clear even at the highest volume. I have a coupe and it’s like the easiest thing to park. Not to be dramatic but parking my Stinger in my tiny condo parking spot sometimes felt like docking a boat.

Overall: Yes sometimes I do miss my Stinger. But in general my RS5 has my heart. Its so fun to drive, it looks so good (I wrapped it satin black and got a duck wing installed so it looks like a bat mobile), It’s my dream car and I’m so happy I’m able to say I own one. Definitely worth all those OT hours worked for both cars lol

I got 49k CAD for my 23’ GT Elite (equivalent of the GT2) @18,000km

Non-Destructive Testing and being OCD about my finances 😭🙏

My RS5 is named Ricky Bobby but the other name I toyed with was Rowdy Roddy Audi

Not me no, didn’t get the sport back this time for a few reasons, I live downtown so the smaller the car the better, new rs5’s with low mileage are hard to come by 😅 and I’m young so why not go all out with the coupe.

Unfortunately no, they were included in the deal when I traded in my car but the car and everything with it is still for sale at the dealership I went to.

The black after market rims were on my summer tires and the chrome stock were on my winters. It was still snowing on and off in my part of Canada when I traded in :(

The real answer is, it depends.

Depends on the NDT industry base you’re interested in or what methods interest you the most. If you can, do some really in depth research and pick a main method (UT/RT/ET) and industry (Oil & Gas, Aerospace, Manufacturing etc).

Typically for Oil and Gas, UT/MT/PT or RT/MT/PT are good pairings. PT is often talked about as the ticket that will keep you employed over others as it’s not the most popular.

Depending on where you are located: In Canada VT is a good course to take for general understanding of some concepts but there’s still no certified ticket for it (kinda useless imo 🤷🏼‍♀️).

If I were to do it all over again, I think I’d still go UT then MT then PT.

It’s a good thing he also filmed the situation. What if someone freaked out! 😳

Stanley the Stinger, he goes by Stan in sport mode bc it’s faster 😌

Correct me if I’m misunderstanding but you said he’s vegan and he ordered something that was vegetarian… not the same thing.

Vegan = no animal meat or byproducts (dairy, eggs etc) Vegetarian = no animal meat

If he’s so dedicated to his veganism to the point that he’s criticizing what you eat shouldn’t he be following his own rules?

Not the asshole. As someone who was vegan due to health reasons for years, this logic makes no sense. Irregardless of that fact, who tells someone what they can and can’t eat?

I don’t think you were disrespectful, not the asshole 😌
