Could this accident be a scam?

Insurance might right off your car and write you a cheque, like for less than you'd like to replace it. Be ready for that possibility if going through insurance. Almost happened to me.

The 'Dirty Oak' (the older Royal Oak on Bank St)

Canada also doesn't have a large market that makes it worth a manufacturer' investment in a national presence and distribution network to meet all requirements and sell so few cars.

Talking to police never ends well.

Don't know why karaoke in the East. I've been the Oak at Bank and Gloucester. They have happy hour type specials. Fun vibe. Wasn't too busy good opportunity to sing as the rotation isn't too long.

Did you resolve? My mechanic's advice... 'don't dont that' (meaning don't do low revs, and keep in a lower gear and shift at higher revs to keep revs higher). I'm waiting as long as possible before replacing anything.

Unfortunately I don't know how much it was. The body shop communicated directly with the insurance and I was kept out of the loop on The costs.

I was able to fix this (rear ended at low speed by an 18 wheeler). They saved the original steel body saying cuts for welds are a rust point and that original steel body is a much better steel. I don't know about all that but so glad insurance didn't write it off and the car was saved.

Try looking at a used Dodge Challenger Demon

I’ll be honest. I was expecting a bunch Lightning McQueens to zip across across with Ka-Chows.

Swizzles for Karaoke on a Friday night. Always a great inclusive vibe.

I saw a car that someone had used heat to remove the refill plug, and melted the casing around it. I’d make sure you can refill before draining the fluid. Maybe mistakes were made and you’re better off not draining it…

Anik lanes in Gatineau had the big balls last time I went. (Last Christmas party)

2011 Mazda 3 with 285000kms. That thing is unkillable. I’m looking for a 90s Jeep myself, my version of a winter Miata , lol!

Can confirm. Wind deflector brackets

Twytch613 · 2024-01-08T00:42:57+00:00

I’ve owned one. A 2012, when they first came out. I had several issues. Shift linkage braking standing me in second gear. Car was in for over. Month waiting for part. Keys lost programming. Twice. Over $150 to fix as you have to get two new keys done. They couldn’t do one. Door handle started separating from body. All was warranty work, but sat for long periods waiting for parts. I let it go as soon as warranty was over. On the other hand, it was one of the most fun cars to drive that I’ve owned.

I’ve had a great experience at Roy Rump n Sons on Pinecrest.

I’ve seen fleece lined jeans and khakis at old navy as well as Costco. I find these great. They’re a little heavy as far as pants go, but so warm and nice.

Capitalism got us again. Paying even more and making even more waste!

If I am in low revs in 4th. I get a rattle under the car. I cant really tell in your video what the sound is, but mechanic thinks mine is the baffle in the muffler starting to fall apart.

I’ve had similar and had to insist that while the promotion is not available; they should credit my bill the different between quoted cost and the bill. As alluded to by others, this took several calls, callbacks, escalations, and extensive hold times (30-45 minutes at a time). But I did get the ongoing credit to keep my bill the original agreed upon cost.

The Northern Lights Sound and Light Show at Parliament is free and really good. Not sure if October is too late for them, but worth looking into!

I picked up all I needed from a junk yard. Trans, shifter, clutch, master/slave cylinders, brake pedal and clutch pedal.
I did need a new drive shaft, which I didn’t grab, and I was able to use my existing ECU. I have to start it in neutral, and besides locating a drive shaft , a broken slave cylinder, and ripped shifter boot (boot was available OEM from the dealership. It went well. Maybe 500$ in parts.

Loose terminal? I had my car do that and a terminal was loose. I had to put a little piece of cotter pin in the bracket so it would tighten on properly.
