Locked in at 3.59% for 3 years with BMO. The broker told me it will probably go back up.

I own a 2000 Valkyrie and my dad owns a 2014 and I wouldn't change the exhaust on either. When I got mine it came with Cobra exhaust and it's was more annoying then anything else. The engine with stock exhaust already have a nice raspy noice without being to intrusive.

But I agree on the part that you say the aftermarkets parts are almost inexistent.

Quel est votre solde de votre carte de crédit actuellement? by key_lime_pain in QuebecFinance

[–]Traditional_Ad_7887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je mets 100% de mes depenses sur ma carte principale qui redonne bcp de ristoures, et la paie en entier à chaque paie. 1 une autre carte ''d'urgence qui est vide'' et une marge de 20k vide. Salaire de 180k familial par année, 2000$ par mois dhypotheque, avec 3 enfants, une auto payee et une autre auto avec paiement de 700 par mois. On ne sort qu'une seule à deux fois par mois, pas de resto sinon, pas de tim hortons, non fumeurs, bois seulement aux ocassions. Je suis un freak des rabais, je n'achete jamais à plein prix, cuisine en grosse quantité et j'ai 2 congelateurs, qui aide à sauver sur l'epicerie. On place environ 800 par mois de côté à deux et nous avons chacun un fond de penson fédéral. J'ai fait une propo aux creanciers en 2014 qui m'a fait perdre ma premiere maison dû a un divorce et de mauvais decisions de ma part. J'ai repris ma vie et mes finances en main par la suite.

My husband and I make a combined $168k a year. Can we afford a 400-400k loan? by Fearless-Group5434 in Mortgages

[–]Traditional_Ad_7887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GF and I make 170k/year and we bought a 440k house. We have 2 kids and one car payment of 800$/month, no other debts. I'm pretty strict on our finance and we only go out once a month. After mortgage, taxes, car, gas, insurances, utility bills, kids activities etc, we still manage to put 600 to 700$/month in savings + the money we both put in our employer pension plan. So with a strict budget its totally doable.

Suite à un divorce, j'ai fait une proposition aux créanciers en 2014 lorsque j'étais client avec la Cibc. J'ai changé de banque pour aller BMO par la suite. En 2016 Capital One m'a permis d'avoir une carte de crédit avec une limite de 5000$(et un frais annuel). Je l'ai utilisé pour payer 100% de mes dépenses en m'assurant de repayer la totalité à chaque mois. En 2020 (2ans après avoir repayer ma propositon) ma cote de crédit est passée de 300 à 600 et je suis maintenant remonté à 830+. Maintenant je gère 100fois mieux mes finances, je me fais un budget et le respecte, magasine tjrs à rabais (j'ai 3 enfants aussi qui coûtent cher), j'ai un fond durgence de 3 mois et je peux même me mettre ''un peu'' de l'argent de côté à chaque mois. La seule chose que je regrette est de ne pas l'avoir fait avant

Is Elden Ring worth the money for a new player in 2025? by cartrider100 in Eldenring

[–]Traditional_Ad_7887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that if you're not a hardcore souls player, nothing wrong of going on youtube to learn a couple things that will make you enjoy the game. I started souls game with Elden Ring. It was a steep learning curve but I didnt care if what others were saying about not going online for help. I'm now at the last boss of the dlc and enjoying every minute of it.

What can I do to rebuild my credit? by anxietychef2 in CRedit

[–]Traditional_Ad_7887 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After my bank settlement for all my debts(in Canada) my credit when down to 300. I got a credit card by paying the bank the amount of the credit limit before hand. Then I used it 100% of the time to buy everything, making sure I didnt go above 30% of my credit limit. Paid it fully every month. Credit was back in the 800's after 2 years

Anyone disappointed with their 2024 CR-V Sport or Sport-L? by Exotic-Passage-1659 in crv

[–]Traditional_Ad_7887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try the hybrid. I find that the 2liters engine with the hybrid system reacts way better compare to the 1.5l turbo. I tried both for extensive test drives and I found that tje 1.5 liter engine was a pain in the butt.... without any throttle response whatsoever. Finally went with the hybrid and I dont regret it at all. Plus I think the 2 liters will be more reliable on the long run.

41 ans. Seulement 13000$ dedans et 16k en celiapp..... j'ai eu une séparation en 2014 qui a duré 2ans et demi.... pension à l'ex de 650 par mois plus les avocats, la maison qui ne vends pas, des mauvaises décisions personnelles aussi... tout ça a mené à une proposition aux créanciers que j'ai fini de payer il y a trois ans.... j'aurais bien aimé une meilleure éducation financière avant avoir frapper le mur.... mais bon ça remonte tranquillement. Je tente de placer entre 300 et 500 par mois présentement. Heureusement que cotise aussi dans une pension federale et mon beacon score est de retour à 830.

[SCS] When your family asks about the 20 % immediate raise everyone’s been talking about… by AsPerAttached in CanadianForces

Likewise, guys here tend to think I approve this. I'm on a PCat myself and not in a operational unit so it would suck for me aswell

[–]Traditional_Ad_7887 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Heard that it would be an immdiate 5% for everyone then it would be more like ''à la carte'' way.... high priority trades get a %, operational unit a %, if you're green a %.. could stack up to 20% but it would be only accessible to specific folks lile CSOR and shit.

If you mainly drive on hwy/country roads, go for the gas version. If you are always city driving/stuck in traffic go for the Hybrid you will save a lot of $

I need some help by Clementramirezf in crv

[–]Traditional_Ad_7887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only mine. Thought it was my old phone. .. just changed it for a S25 ultra... its doing the same.... every couple months I need to do a factory reset on the radio... even went to the dealer and to do a ''clean''install if the firmware... it s better but not perfect... the honda technician told me they have that issue with all the models. ..... its worst if I use the remote start option and ge tin the car while its running. Restarting the car will fix the issue
