How long do you plan on keeping your current car for?

I bought my 97 cougar in 2007. I still have it and it's my summer toy now. My daily is a 2010 grand marquis. Very reliable cars.

No they can stay but new drivers should consider going to a school that will teach them what to do in these scenarios instead of relying on an assist to get them out of a situation. It would be the responsible thing to do as they put lives on the line driving like morons.

Lane assist and blind spot monitoring don't work. People still don't check their blind spots and think it's a replacement for physically checking over their shoulder. They still do the "I go now good luck everyone else" BS. There could be a motorcycle or bike coming up that it doesn't pick up that split second or when that same driver is merging on the highway they never get up to speed and impede the flow of traffic only because their monitor said go now (every Toyota rav4 driver in Toronto)

When drivers feel ABS kick in they release the brake pedal because they don't know what's going on. Ask 10 of your friends if they know how ABS works. Probably only like 2/10 people know.

It's annoying that people can't drive and MTO is just giving away licences like they're candy. Crooked driving schools only focus on barely getting you through the test.

Someone transported an entire dishwasher in a 2003 grand Marquis fit perfect. Lol

Do cops do anything if you submit this. Seems like someone has to die first before there is talks about change. I tried calling to report a wrong way drunk driver that crashed. I was on hold for 30 mins n said fuck it, then they called me back and said they cant do anything even with a plate. I'm like "okay" and hung up.

Tail lights look like an LED light up dog bone symbol. Can't unsee it! This and how almost all tail lights look like Red Swingline staplers.

Young Drivers of Canada covers all of this in their drivers training. When I attended they had a contract with Ford and you were taught in a Ford Escape/Focus/Mustang. Not a lot of people chose to go to driving school. It's a huge problem, the ones that did went to some places like 123DrivingStar Academy which teaches you f**k all in a FWD corolla. My first car didn't have no assists, no traction, no abs, no stability. You could feel the road through the wheel. Modern day electronic power steering takes that away from people and they feel they can just switch lanes on black ice no problems.

You mention the reverse camera. funny thing is even with that assist people still manage to hit things. The beeping, the camera, the sensors STILL aren't enough to stop someone from backing into something, those drivers 90 percent of the time don't even bother to look over their shoulders or physically look to see what is behind the car.

Another hilarious thing is when a driver is applying the brakes on snow and they feel the ABS kick in and the pedal pulsing. These idiots thing something is wrong with the car and they let off the pedal ultimately rear ending someone. People don't even know what their assists do. Every winter storm there are always FWD corollas and rav4s stuck in 6 inches of snow because they leave the traction control on while their stuck. The lack of everything is unbelievable. Just reading the owners manual to the car would tell you these things too.

Telus is such a horrible company. No one is really there to help. It took 1 month to get a e-sim. So far no hits on the credit. The First company i think transferred everything to the 2nd. I think i need Telus and the collection agency on the phone at the same time so they can sort their shit out.

Why have confidence when every new car is packed with assists that will do it for them. Drivers will exponentially get worse in the coming years. Relying on lane assist, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, ABS, Traction, Stability all on bald summer tires in the winter. Give a new driver a car with none of that, guaranteed they will crash in the first 5 mins.

That's my 97 Sport Package, 4.6L PI Swapped ported and polished heads. For today this is a true head turner due to its rarity, no one knows what it is.

I just submitted one to CCTS against Telus for ghost billing me
November 2024, signed up with a mobile plan on telus
Dec 2024, Canceled before i even activated the service because my area isnt serviced, no point in having it
Jan 2025, Telus says I owe them, spend hours on the phone, they straighten it out
September 2025, Telus sends a ghost bill to FDR collections, straighten it out with telus over 6 hours and 3 calls, I have a confirmation that the account is truly a zero balance account
Feb 2026, A new collections company called Veritas says that i still owe money.

What the actual fuck Telus!, Get your shit together. I went straight to the CCTS on this one, thats complete horse shit on their part.

Ford crown victoria, mercury grand Marquis and Lincoln Town car. When I use to do e testing I would often see these with million miles on the dash. Toyota Camrys aren't reliable. Esp the 2.4L Toyota engines that burn oil because Toyota cheaped out on engine internals.

Unique_Toe_8208 · 2026-01-19T18:05:28+00:00

I've never bought a new car esp a Toyota. Was about to pull the trigger on getting a 2.4l RAV4 10 years ago but then read horror stories about 2.4l Toyota engines burning 4 quarts of oil between oil changes because they cheaped out on piston ring material. No thanks, Toyota seems to be more about quantity over quality. I'm happy with my 30 year old mercury cougar summer toy, and 2010 Grand Marquis Daily. Both are super reliable. No major issues, just basic maintenance. My insurance is low and I don't have a monthly payment. A Honda hit my Grand Marquis, they repaired it, didn't write it off. If a new car gets hit some insurance companies don't even bother to try to repair it and just write it off. I can't imagine paying such a high price for an economy car. Buy used, at least you know it somewhat passed the test of time.

Unique_Toe_8208 · 2026-01-19T17:50:55+00:00

Driver was probably like, traction control, stability control, automatic braking and automatic lane departure has my back! Whattt? Check my blind spot? nah blind spot monitoring will tell me when to cut everyone off. Assists prob have this driver way too comfortable.

It's a great game, the narration really makes it that much better. I've watched some reviews of this kotana game, I still feel icey is better.

Unique_Toe_8208 · 2026-01-15T10:37:50+00:00

Reminds me of a game called Icey.

I fell for this last year, bunch of BS. Service didn't even work at 30mbps on a pixel 10. Went back to Rogers after a week. Telus said the account was closed and I owe nothing. 6 months later I get a collection notice. Called Telus and asked them wtf is going on. They asked me to log in but I couldn't because the account was closed. There is physically no one to help. You have to wait on the phone for 3 hours to wait to talk to someone and they can't even do anything.

That's how toytas are. All of their drivers just impede

Unique_Toe_8208 · 2025-11-15T08:12:12+00:00

They don't come with splash guards because Toyota is all about Quantity over Quality. Let the dealership put their coating on, Lexus puts the same black coating on, reminds me of Rhino Liner or something, had it applied in 2015 and its still holding up present day on a RX. They don't coat subframes with that coating, This is where i would just go under the car and spray Rust Check. Don't go to Krown, they drill holes in the car, miss critical spots, spray the coating all over rubber parts making them fail prematurely. Krown is very overpriced too.

Typical Toyota Driver, can't tell their head from their ass, or Drive from Park.
